In recent years, more people are searching for alternatives
\nto traditional pharmaceutical painkillers and opiate drugs. Now, they are
\nreaching for natural, non-pharmaceutical products like CBD, the non-intoxicating
\ncannabinoid found in cannabis.<\/p>\n
One of the greatest supposed benefits of CBD is its potential to manage pain<\/a>. For world-class athletes, this is proving to be a game-changer.<\/p>\n Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of over 120 compounds called cannabinoids<\/a> that are found in the cannabis plant. CBD works within your body\u2019s endocannabinoid system<\/a> to help to regulate functions such as reducing pain and inflammation, heal injured bones, promoting better sleep and serving as an overall neuroprotectant.\u00a0<\/p>\n It was these benefits and more that inspired Mike Kolb to \u201cIt started with wanting to create products that I wanted to Like many others, Kolb first learned about CBD through its ability to reduce seizures.<\/p>\n \u201cI first learned about CBD because of its use in seizures.

Former pro athletes like retired NHL player Ryan VandenBussche, retired NFL linebacker David Ahrens and former NHL winger Riley Cote all advocate for CBD use for recovery<\/a> and as an alternative to opiates, swearing by its healing effects and health benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n And that\u2019s the key for Kolb. Despite some commonly held \u201cIt\u2019s not a scary drug that will get you high and addicted,\u201d In addition to stand alone orders, Xwerks products are available wholesale<\/a> to fitness enthusiasts interested in carrying them in their gym or store. <\/p>\n \u201cWholesale has been a big part of our growth,\u201d said Kolb. \u201cWe As more research emerges about the benefits and uses for TELL US<\/strong>, do you use CBD as part of your fitness routine?\u00a0<\/p>\n The post Can CBD Help Supercharge Athletic Performance?<\/a> appeared first on Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nto pursue launching our own CBD products.\u201d Kolb said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
