ATHLETES
REGENERATION WITH CBD
Especially Combat Sport bring a high risk of injury.
Whether MMA, Kickboxing, Boxing, Judo, Karate, Tae Bo or Taekwondo – Most come home after a competition or training with injuries of varying degrees or need to go to the doctor first. To reduce recovery time and avoid the risk of reliance on painkillers, CBD offers a great alternative. With CBD, you could start getting back into your exercise routine faster and you protect your body from the sometimes serious side effects of the painkillers.
CBD AS FOOD SUPPLEMENT IN SPORT
Thanks to the growing acceptance and increasing education about the active but THC-free cannabidiol (CBD), more and more athletes and competitors start using the new active ingredient in their daily supplement, diet or therapy.
CBD offers the body a variety of benefits, which are particularly useful for athletes. Especially, the anti-inflammatory properties, which help to relieve pain, to solve muscle contractions or muscle spasms and to accelerate the body’s own regeneration. In addition, CBD has a positive effect on the maintenance of health and the regeneration of the brain – for example, in the case of a concussion.
Since CBD, in contrast to THC, has no psychoactive effect and is no longer regarded as a doping agent by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA), CBD is a safe and completely natural supplement for athletes.
CBD AS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVE SUBSTANCE
CBD is extremely effective in reducing inflammation. Which makes CBD an optimal pre- and post-workout supplement – because muscle and joint inflammation can be the cause of pain before and after a hard workout. Unlike common analgesics, cannabidiol does not completely cover the pain and thus prevents you from going beyond your limits and possibly causing even worse injuries. Instead, CBD maintains your mobility and reduces muscle soreness after exercise while your body repairs itself.
FOR ATHLETES AND COMPETERS
In 2018, Cannabidiol was removed from the list of banned substances listed under the S8 cannabinoid category.
Athletes and competitors take supplements for a variety of reasons, but most are taken with the intention of favoring muscle growth or being able to recall higher energy output. Dietary supplements with MOLOTOV COCKTAIL – regardless of whether you train in the gym or exercise your sport on a field or in the sports hall.
FOR YOUR
HEALTH
WHAT IS CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second most active ingredient of the cannabis sativa plant (hemp) and reduces far-reaching physical and emotional stress symptoms in humans and animals (all mammals). In contrast to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no intoxicating effects and overdosing with CBD is virtually impossible. Even the WHO World Health Organization has stated that it is safe to use CBD. In other words, when taking CBD, you can assume that no adverse effects are triggered, and since CBD has no psychoactive compound, you will not get high. In addition, CBDaktiv is 100% free of THC and thus 100% legally in Germany to purchase and consume.
CBD AND TRAINING
Whether your training is based on muscle building, strength training or endurance sports – CBD can provide a great advantage for you thanks to its natural, powerful impact. Inflammation is sometimes the reason for long breaks or total interruptions of many athletes. With CBDaktiv you could effectively fight against it.
The project “MOLOTOV COCKTAIL” has even published its own guide for athletes regarding the application of CBD.
IS CBD ALREADY USED IN SPORT?
From the US there are the most experience reports.
Nate Diaz, the UFC Fighter (mixed martial arts discipline) had caused quite a stir when he was smoking a Vapor CBD at the press conference following his fight at UFC 202. He himself stated that this alleviates his pain, prevents inflammation and also helps with regeneration. Many other MMA fighters are also committed to various hemp products. In the US, scientific studies are currently in progress to show that CBD has neuroprotective effects. In martial arts and other contact sports this would help some athletes. Meanwhile, the Diaz brothers, who are professional MMA fighters, are selling their own CBD line.
Even martial arts veteran and Hollywood actor Bas Rutten is thrilled by CBD. In several interviews he has already talked about his former dependence on analgesics. Cause were injuries and extreme pain after fighting or after countless sparring units. Bas Rutten was able to get away from the painkillers thanks to CBD. In view of the opioid crisis in the US, this would be an alternative for many people to addictive analgesics.
Even away from martial arts CBD is used more and more for all sports enthusiasts. So the so-called BIG 3 in the US, the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MBL) have allowed their players to use CBD. CBD is also being explored in a companion study supported by the NFL. Here are the frequent head injuries and concussions in the foreground. These should be treated with the help of CBD. CBD has no side effects and also does not lead to addiction. These features make CBD particularly interesting as a recovery-drug of choice for injuries also in sport.
A HEALTHY AND RELAXING SLEEP
Many studies and reports on the topic of sleep show, above all, an outstanding focus. Almost everyone has problems with sleep. Whether it is falling asleep, staying asleep or sleeping.
Almost a third of the population has difficulty with the only event that is supposed to give people new energy: sleep. Thanks to its properties, CBD has an influence on the endocannabinoid system and thus the possibility to naturally regulate sleep. The endocannabinoid system controls and influences various body functions. This includes u.a. the formation of hormones, blood pressure, heart rate and more. If now after a very exhausting training round the well-deserved and restful sleep is sought, one’s own body can make a dash through the bill.
The high exertion, the sometimes high pulse and emotions recorded during training continue to overload the body with too much information and cause unrest.
With MOLOTOV COCKTAIL, these functions can again run smoothly and thus lead to a restful sleep.
