U.S. News & World Report says CBD might be an effective way to slow or even stop the general inflammation and pain from an intense workout. CBD products come in topical creams, capsules, protein powders, sprays, and more. Users report feeling less stiff and sore.

Sports medicine doctor Dr. Alan Beyer, told U.S. News and World Report he’s witnessed a substantial increase in older adult and athletes with strong CBD edibles and CBD oils because they feel CBD promotes muscle growth. Although research is still being conducted to prove this theory.

CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc., Stuart Titus, told Men’s Health his experience as a physical therapist led him to begin advocating for the use of CBD treatments. His research on CBD comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

"It actually mentions very specifically that the non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD are more preferable to use because you can give larger doses without any of the intoxicating or negative side effects,” Titus told Men’s Health.

Hemp CBD has a minute tiny amount of THC compared to cannabis so it doesn’t have any psychoactive effects. THC is the cannabis compound that's responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana. CBD is more known for health benefits.
