Reasons athletes should consider Cannabidiol (CBD)
- CBD reduces stress
- CBD is an adaptogen
- CBD protects the central nervous system
- CBD improves sleep
- CBD promotes muscle relaxation
- CBD reduces anxiety
- CBD reduces oxidation and inflammation
Using Adaptogens to Promote Faster Recovery:
For athletes, CBD and the rest of hemp’s most active ingredients may help them better adapt to their training. Think of the metabolic state that follows a tough workout: body temperature is high, and cortisol levels through the roof.
Additionally, muscle proteins have broken down, and stored sugar in the form of glycogen is almost completely depleted. It’s not exactly a picture of balance.
Sensing this stress, the body begins to produce greater amounts of endocannabinoids such as anandamide to deal with the recovery process. Add in additional plant cannabinoids like CBD, and such imbalances can be quickly corrected. Interestingly enough, this renewal process was also described by Hans Selye, who called it the “resistance stage” of adaptation.
Resistance against stressors that is, in order to recover fast and avoid burnout.
Thankfully, CBD helps! One study even went so far as to question whether cannabinoids were performance-enhancing drugs that should be prohibited in pro athletics. And things could get even better when one takes CBD alongside other adaptogens…

While research in this area is limited, we do know that most plant adaptogens work via activating enzymes like AMPK to regulate energy balance and upregulate fat burning. It could be that taking CBD and other adaptogens
together lead to synergistic effects! In other words, the two types of substances could actually help each other work better.

Better Sleep :
Getting more and better sleep is one of the most effective ways an athlete can achieve greater training gains. Anecdotally, athletes who consume CBD report greater ease going to sleep and a more restful night’s sleep.One potential reason for this could be CBD inhibiting the reuptake of adenosine.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) breaks down as your brain burns carbohydrate for energy and adenosine gradually accumulates in the brain.
More adenosine binding to neurons inhibits the release of neurotransmitters, slowing down brain activity, helping you feel calmer, and inducing sleep. Your body metabolizes adenosine as you sleep, and some time later, low concentrations of adenosine help you wake up and the process starts again. By binding to same receptors adenosine would bind to, CBD may inhibit adenosine reuptake, which helps it accumulate more quickly and makes you feel sleepy sooner. CBD may also have a potent anti-anxiety effect for some people, which can help them get to sleep and have more restful sleep.
Reduce inflammation:
A little bit of inflammation can be good for athletes and help stimulate positive training adaptations. Too much inflammation hinders recovery and hurts performance. There are CB2 receptors in both the brain and periphery, but they are more concentrated in immune tissues.
Cannabinoids binding to CB2 receptors may have an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing cytokine (cell messengers) production. In other words, CBD bound to CB2 receptors help dial down the response when your immune system sounds the alarm after hard workouts.
CBD Promotes Muscle Relaxation:
CBD Alleviates Anxiety:
CBD’s impacts on anxiety are among its best known. It appears to be good for chronic anxiety, acute anxiety, and everything in between. Even those who need relief from the fear of public speaking may stand to benefit from CBD!
Athletes could benefit too. Anxiety from the pressure to perform in training and competition can present a huge challenge to competitive athletes. The same study that recommended outlawing
THC as a performance-enhancing drug praised CBD for its “decreased anxiety and fear memories extinction after oral CBD”, which could “enhance sports performance” without any mental downsides.
Just make sure that your CBD product is of the full-spectrum variety, which is often more effective than CBD isolate for anxiety.
That’s because full-spectrum hemp extracts contain valuable compounds like terpenes and flavonoids, which work together to enrich CBD’s already-impressive effects. Not much CBD is needed to experience relief from anxiety, either. Many athletes have experienced great results from taking small but consistent microdoses of the plant compound.
When placed into a highly convenient form (like a vaporizer), CBD can even be used prior to intense workouts and competitions. Dosing in the 3-10 milligram range is usually enough to instill a sense of calm and peace.
Why full spectrum better ?
A full-spectrum CBD product undergoes less processing than isolates. Manufacturers use dried hemp plant matter to extract cannabinoids. Usually, a method called supercritical CO2 extraction is used to draw out these plant compounds. The result is a full-spectrum CBD oil that contains all the cannabinoids that hemp has to offer. For other products, like broad-spectrum or isolates, manufacturers filter and process the oil more extensively
until it contains only the desired cannabinoids.
