Sport and Wellbeing, what has CBD got to do with it?

The feeling of euphoria and wellbeing one senses after a sports activity is due to endorphins, substances produced naturally by our organism and helping us to fight fatigue and stress.

Contributing to the creation of this pleasant sensation is also another element, anandamide, an acid neurotransmitter, part of the endocannabinoid family.  

Anandamide is naturally produced by the body and is connected to feelings of euphoria, relief from pain, wellbeing and relaxation.

Hence CBD could play an important role here, due to its capability of increasing the quantity of anandamide available in the organism after a sports activity, with consequent psycho-physical benefits.

Which are the main benefits of CBD for athletes?

Cbd, besides fostering a general and all-over sense of wellbeing in our organism, has also got other properties which can be more specific and targeted.

CBD inhibits pain and inflammation by means of some glycine and adenosine receptors, proposing itself as an effective natural remedy in various cases, including traumas, bruises or inflammatory states.

CBD is an effective antiemetic and can help to contrast nausea as well as the sensation of generalized fatigue after an intensive workout.
CBD is a neuroprotectant, it has the capability of interrupting the flow of chemical substances, for example, during a concussion, thus protecting our brain cells.
