CBD for Sport
CBD FOR SPORT
The wide spread interest in CBD oil has not gone unnoticed in the professional sports industry. Although previously officials and professional athletes had been looking at cannabis suspiciously, mainly due to its psychoactive ingredient THC, in recent years it has started to change.The natural components of hemp seem so safe to use, that some of the largest sport organisations, urged by the public, scientists and the athletes themselves, have began changing their attitude towards CBD and have even, crossed off cannabidiol (CBD) from the prohibited substances lists. Even better still, CBD Oil is gaining more and more acceptance as a mild natural dietary supplement for athletes.
CAN CBD REALLY ASSIST THOSE WHO LEAD AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE?
The popularity of CBD among athletes has become a hot topic, mainly due to the decision of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), at the beginning of 2018, when they announced the official removal of cannabidiol (CBD) from its prohibited substances list.Without a doubt, the WADA’s reaction has been caused by the case of Nate Diaz, an MMA fighter who openly vaped CBD during a press conference after a lost fight. The player was punished with a warning by the American Anti-Doping Agency, but the case grew big enough to attract the attention of the media, fans and other athletes. And this was not the first time that athletes had raised the issue of using of natural CBD supplements, but it is by far the most famous one.

The cannabis plant contains lots of different cannabinoids (aspects of the plant) with the most famous and main one being 'THC' (Tetrahydrocannabinol), which as we already mentioned is the mind altering ingredient, that causes a high!
CBD IN AMATEUR SPORT
Although the potential impact of recognition by the global sports community on the acceptance of CBD Oil and hemp products as such should not be underestimated. But what about a much wider group of people practicing amateur sports to stay healthy?Can they also benefit from CBD supplementation?
The effect of dietary supplements such as CBD Oil, ideally suits the challenges that physical exercise poses to the body. The best bio-availability will be ensured by having CBD with the post-workout meal (up to two hours after training), with a certain amount of fats.
