What are the properties of the active ingredients contained in CBD After Sport? Our recovery balm contains natural botanicals that have always been used to help the body cope with inflammation and pain. In this synergistic formula CBD, arnica, devil's claw, and menthol interact with each other, guaranteeing the best effect possible. We could call CBD After Sport a super-boosted arnica cream. Let’s take a closer look at the single ingredients. Cannabidiol (CBD): A cannabinoid produced by the hemp plant. It doesn’t have psychotropic effects and is known for its beneficial properties, especially when it comes to offering support in case of inflammation and pain. If applied to the skin, it helps relax the muscles and soothe joint pain after physical activity. As this study underlines, physical exertion during sports leads to a functional disbalance and CBD topicals can help to recover from muscle damage and fatigue. The World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) removed Cannabidiol from the list of prohibited substances, also thanks to sportsmen and sportswomen who highlighted its beneficial effects. Athletes, especially professionals, who rely on CBD should always opt for a high-quality, certified, and third party lab tested CBD product. This guarantees that it doesn’t contain more THC than legally permitted. Arnica montana: Arnica is the anti-inflammatory plant par excellence. It is highly appreciated for its anti-edematous and anti-inflammatory properties and is particularly effective in case of injured skin, bruises, and muscle stiffness. This commentary investigating the role of arnica in cosmetic dermatology showed that Arnica montana gel can effectively reduce edema and bruising associated with surgical procedures. For this study which investigated the pain-relieving effect of arnica, twenty well-trained men applied arnica cream to the painful area every four hours. After only three days, participants reported that they perceived less pain, which positively impacted their athletic performance. Finally, a study published in 2021 highlighted that topically applied arnica can play an important role in managing acute and chronic pain without causing the adverse effects typical of prescription drugs. Devil’s claw: Harpagophytum procumbens, better known as devil's claw, is appreciated for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It helps to improve mobility and is particularly helpful in case of stiff joints, joint pain, and muscle strains. Clinical studies show that it can have a significant impact on proinflammatory markers. Its components can act as antagonists or synergists in the modulation of the enzymes responsible for the induction of inflammation and the perception of pain. It is recommended in case of rheumatoid arthritis. A variety of clinical studies showed that devil's claw cream is capable of improving mobility and reducing the perception of pain thanks to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. If used against muscular pain, it is expected to significantly influence sensory and vascular response, thus reducing muscle stiffness. Menthol: Due to its cooling effect, it can provide immediate relief. When applied topically it acts as an anti-irritant, but it can also interact with the central pain pathways and, therefore, reduce the perception of pain. What properties does our CBD balm with arnica, devil’s claw, and menthol have? The properties of this CBD sports cream are the sum of the qualities of the most proven active ingredients used against muscle pain and soreness. The first thing you feel after applying CBD After Sport is a sense of relief. Menthol immediately cools the sore spots and proceeds to create a warming sensation. In the meantime, CBD relaxes the muscles and offers support in case of discomfort and pain. Devil's claw and arnica montana have a long-lasting anti-inflammatory effect and help to relieve muscle pain and joint disorders. In case of bruises, arnica also accelerates the regeneration of injured tissue. CBD After Sport supports muscle recovery after physical activity, relieving the pain that spoils post-workout relaxation.
