Alleviates Muscle Tension<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the characteristic symptoms of DOMS is muscle tension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to injuries, tension in the muscles surrounding the affected area can make the pain much worse \u2014 which is why muscle relaxants are so popular for alleviating pain during recovery from exercise or injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some forms of prescription muscle relaxants used for treatment-resistant muscle tension are benzodiazepine drugs like Valium. These medications work through the GABA receptors \u2014 which are a key regulator of muscle relaxation [5,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/000632238690003X\">18<\/a>]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzodiazepines are powerful drugs and come\nwith a significant risk of side-effects like sedation, depression, confusion,\ndizziness, and trembling \u2014 all of which are not conducive to optimal athletic\nfunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD and other cannabinoids have similar effects on GABA as benzodiazepines \u2014 only without the risk of severe side-effects [6,7]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some research even suggests the use of cannabis as a supportive agent for <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/cbd-xanax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benzodiazepine addiction<\/a> due to the overlap of effects between the two [8]. This is dangerous and requires monitoring by a doctor, of course. You should never attempt this on your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Therefore, CBD may be a useful muscle relaxant for easing muscle tension and pain following an injury or rigorous workout.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"600\" height=\"416\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting.png 600w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-180x125.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-283x196.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-54x37.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-330x229.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-420x291.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-74x51.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/weight-lifting-43x30.png 43w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>2.

Reduces Inflammation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most important role CBD plays in\nthe process of muscle recovery is in reducing inflammation. The most common\nmethod of reducing inflammation after an injury or post-workout is to apply ice\nto the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s some <a href=\"https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2012\/01\/04\/why-ice-may-be-bad-for-sore-muscles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">debate<\/a> around whether or not putting icing is helpful for muscle recovery or not, and research is inconclusive \u2014 some studies suggest icing the muscles improves recovery times [1], while other studies have found that icing offers no benefit for shortening recovery time [2]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The controversy revolves around what role inflammation plays during the recovery process. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inflammation process is designed to help damaged muscle fibers recover \u2014 it brings in blood flow to the area and delivers essential nutrients and oxygen along with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the increased blood flow helps to clear out cellular debris, damaged proteins, and byproducts of muscle contraction like lactic acid from the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inflammation\nalso stimulates stem cells (called satellite cells) in the muscle to turn into\nnew muscle fibers. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflammatory markers like IL-10, TGF-\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and NF-\u03baB are all thought to stimulate the satellite cells of the muscles after an injury [3] \u2014 leading to faster recovery and a return of strength to the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, post-workout muscle damage,\nor injuries to the muscles often involve specific regions of muscle \u2014 yet the\ninflammatory process affects larger groups of muscles and joints that haven\u2019t\nbeen affected. <strong>The inflammatory response\ncan cause collateral damage to these regions of muscle and joints<\/strong> \u2014 leading\nto a slower recovery process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the main reason athletes use\nanti-inflammatories or ice after a workout or injury. Reducing inflammation\nlimits the damage caused to nearby muscle and joint tissue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletes often use ice immediately following a\nworkout, and NSAID medications like Aspirin or Ibuprofen to limit inflammation\nfor the remainder of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS symptoms for the next\nfew days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CBD\noffers something even better \u2014 and may be able to reduce most of the unhelpful\ninflammation without compromising its benefits towards the recovery process. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD has been shown to <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/inflammation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inhibit a wide range of inflammatory molecules<\/a> but has little effect on reducing TGF-\u03b2 and IL-10. In some studies, CBD even caused an increase in IL-10 [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2828614\/\">4<\/a>]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This could explain how CBD may alleviate inflammation in the muscle tissue without compromising recovery times. The important role of IL-10 in the activation of new muscle cell differentiation could have a big impact on our ability to recover from muscle damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"542\" height=\"461\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise.png 542w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-300x255.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-180x153.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-283x241.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-54x46.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-330x281.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-420x357.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-74x63.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/tired-man-exercise-35x30.png 35w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>4. Improves The Quality &amp; Duration of Sleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few of the most important aspects of muscle recovery happen while we sleep. This is when most of our recovery processes become active [12]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of\nthe important processes that take place while we sleep include: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Restoring damaged proteins like\ntroponin, actin, and myosin<\/li><li>Removing cellular debris from\ndamaged areas<\/li><li>Converting lactic acid to glucose\nin the liver<\/li><li>Stimulating the differentiation of\nstem cells into new muscle fibers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sleep deprivation can pose negative effects on recovery in a few key areas [12]: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>May lead to a reduction in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) \u2014<\/strong> which we already pointed out as being one of the main triggers for\ndifferentiation of the muscle stem cells (satellite cells). <\/li><li><strong>May increase cortisol levels \u2014<\/strong> which has a\nnegative impact on protein synthesis. <\/li><li><strong>May cause a reduction in testosterone \u2014<\/strong> which\nis heavily involved in the process of muscle recovery for both men and women. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A combination of CBD and THC in a pharmaceutical preparation of 1 part CBD to 1 part THC known as Sativex\u00ae has been tested repeatedly on its effect on sleep. Research has consistently shown Sativex\u00ae offers improvements on the quality of sleep, as well as the duration [13]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other studies have found similar results using only CBD on rats [14]. Researchers in this study found that CBD was able to <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increase the total sleep time<\/a>, as well as improve the ability of rats to fall asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is CBD? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the active ingredients in the cannabis plant. It\u2019s a close relative to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) \u2014 which is what makes marijuana psychoactive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD and THC are both cannabinoids \u2014 organic compounds found alongside over a hundred other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t worry, CBD is completely non-psychoactive \u2014 meaning it won\u2019t make you high. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most companies selling CBD will source it from\na specific form of selectively-bred cannabis called hemp \u2014&nbsp;which is the\nsame species as marijuana (<em>Cannabis\nsativa<\/em>) but won\u2019t produce more than trace amounts (&gt;0.3%) of the\npsychoactive ingredient, THC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD supplements made from hemp are completely non-psychoactive due to the lack of THC. As a result, government regulators around the world don\u2019t consider CBD a drug in the same way as marijuana. Most countries regulate CBD as a nutritional supplement instead \u2014 however, laws governing cannabis products change frequently, so be sure to check your local laws before placing an order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD has a lot of suggested benefits \u2014 many of which have been backed up by scientific and anecdotal evidence. Supplements and pharmaceutical preparations containing CBD are being used by <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/cancer\/\">cancer patients<\/a> to reduce side-effects of chemotherapy (such as <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/nausea\/\">nausea<\/a>), by children with rare forms of <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/epilepsy-seizures\/\">epilepsy<\/a> (such as Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndrome), and by millions of people around the world for symptoms like <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/anxiety\/\">anxiety<\/a>, pain, inflammation, and insomnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can\nCBD have so many suggested benefits? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD achieves all of this because of its\nability to interact with a regulatory system \u2014 rather than one specific organ.\nThis allows CBD to affect many different organs around the body directly and\nindirectly \u2014 including the muscular system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How Does CBD Work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD works through a subsystem in the body\nfound in all mammals called the endocannabinoid system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The endocannabinoid system (ECS) involves a\ncollection of special G-protein-coupled receptors (called endocannabinoid\nreceptors), and hormones designed to interact with these receptors (called\nendocannabinoids). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The ECS\nis used to help regulate homeostasis throughout the body&nbsp;\u2014<\/strong> <strong>which basically means<em> internal balance<\/em>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything from temperature regulation to\nhormone levels needs to remain within a specific range. Homeostasis is the\nprocess of keeping these metrics within the ideal ranges. If we fall too far\noutside these ranges, we become sick and die. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD is a modulator of the endocannabinoid\nreceptors. It attaches to them in a unique way and modifies their structure\nslightly to allow our naturally-produced endocannabinoids to bind to them more\neffectively. It also inhibits an enzyme designed to break down our\nendocannabinoids (called FAAH). <strong>This\nessentially <em>primes<\/em> the ECS \u2014 giving\nit a boost to do its job more effectively. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD doesn\u2019t stimulate the endocannabinoid\nsystem directly, rather it helps upregulate the system we already have in\nplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversely, the psychoactive\ncannabinoid,&nbsp;THC, activates the endocannabinoid receptors directly (rather\nthan modifying them). Some of the receptors THC activates result in a release\nof serotonin in the brain \u2014 which produces the characteristic high from\nmarijuana plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CBD\nalso activates other receptors in the body, including: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>5HT1A receptors (serotonin receptors)<\/strong> [15]<\/li><li><strong>Vanilloid pain receptors<\/strong> [16]<\/li><li><strong>PPAR\u03b3 nuclear receptors<\/strong> [17]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"577\" height=\"433\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy.png 577w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-180x135.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-283x212.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-54x41.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-330x248.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-420x315.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-74x56.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-anatomy-40x30.png 40w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Muscle Recovery 101: What Happens After Excercise? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three kinds of muscle in the human body \u2014 but the most relevant for the purpose of this discussion is the <strong>skeletal muscle<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other two are <strong>smooth muscle<\/strong> (found in the internal organs and lining of the arteries), and <strong>cardiac muscle<\/strong> (a specific type of muscle only found in the heart). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cells that make up skeletal muscle are\nuniquely suited to their job. They have more mitochondria (the powerhouse of\nthe cell) than most other cells in the body. This is meant to help them meet the\nhigh energy demands of the muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Muscle cells are also long and cylindrical,\nhelping them form long fibers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each muscle cell contains functional units\ncalled sarcomeres \u2014 which are the part of the muscle that contracts and expands\nto allow for movement. Proteins called actin and myosin contained in the cells\nare responsible for expanding and contracting the muscle tissue to achieve\nmovement using calcium and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a nerve stimulates muscle cells with acetylcholine, (i.e. when you tell your arm to move) calcium is pumped into the cell, which allows actin and myosin to interact, causing the cell to contract (shorten)<em>.<\/em> <strong>This step requires a lot of energy \u2014<\/strong> in the form of ATP, produced in the mitochondria of the cell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the nerve stops activating the muscle cells, calcium is pumped back out of the muscle cell and phosphate (a form of transferable energy) dislodged, causing the muscle to expand again (lengthen). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16025\" width=\"590\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-283x212.jpg 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-54x41.jpg 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_429352768-74x56.jpg 74w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>What Makes Your Muscles Sore\nAfter a Workout? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By now, you\u2019re probably familiar with the\naches and pains that come along with exercising.

Over time, repeating these activities\nwill produce less DOMS as the muscles recover and become stronger and more\nresistant to the same level of exertion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How is DOMS Usually Treated?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DOMS will go away on its own \u2014 usually after about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/exercise\/pain-after-exercise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">3\u20135 days<\/a>. Many athletes can\u2019t wait this long to get back into the gym or on the pitch, so they\u2019ll take measures to reduce the downtime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\nare some of the most common treatments for DOMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Rest \u2014<\/strong> This is the simplest treatment, but takes the longest amount of time. <\/li><li><strong>Massage therapy \u2014<\/strong> Physically massaging the muscles helps to stimulate the area, remove lactic acid buildup that may be causing more inflammation to the area, and force fresh blood into the affected area. <\/li><li><strong>Painkillers \u2014<\/strong> Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like Ibuprofen and Aspirin are often used to reduce inflammation and stop the pain. Unfortunately, these medications also come with negative side-effects.<\/li><li><strong>Ice packs \u2014<\/strong> Cooling the area slows blood flow and reduces inflammation. This only works if applied directly after an injury or following a workout.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"612\" height=\"408\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise.png 612w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-180x120.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-283x189.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-54x36.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-420x280.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-74x49.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/boxing-man-exercise-45x30.png 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Can Athletes Use CBD? Is CBD Legal in Competitive Sports? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be skimming through this article and\nwondering \u2014 \u201cis CBD legal in sports? Won\u2019t cannabis make athletes fail a drug\ntest if they use it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While\ncannabis is technically illegal, CBD is a clear exception. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed CBD from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wada-ama.org\/en\/content\/what-is-prohibited\/prohibited-in-competition\/cannabinoids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">banned substances list<\/a>. This essentially means the organization recognizes that CBD is not comparable to performance-enhancing drugs like amphetamines, hormones, or illegal drugs. This is how professional athletes like Nate Diaz from the UFC are able to use CBD without being banned from events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, make sure to check your <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/cbd-world-legal-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local laws and regulations<\/a>. Just because WADA allows CBD doesn\u2019t mean your individual country or regulatory agency allows it too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drug\ntests used in professional sports can\u2019t identify chemicals in the blood or\nurine unless you specifically go looking for them.<\/strong>\nThey don\u2019t provide a full list of compounds contained in the fluid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most drug tests for marijuana use synthetic antibodies to look for THC \u2014 or the metabolites our body creates after breaking down THC. Therefore, you\u2019ll only fail a drug test for these substances if you\u2019ve used a supplement that included THC. For this reason, if you\u2019re competing in professional sporting events and are interested in using CBD, you should opt for a product made from third-party tested CBD isolate, rather than full-spectrum hemp \u2014 which may contain trace amounts of THC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\nare some of the most common ways people are adding CBD to their supplement\nregimen: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Add CBD oils to your protein or nutritional shakes<\/li><li>Take CBD capsules or gummies<\/li><li>Use CBD oils sublingually after a workout and on recovery days<\/li><li>Use a <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/best-cbd\/vape-pens\/\">vaporizer pen<\/a><\/li><li>Apply CBD topicals directly over the affected muscles<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"612\" height=\"408\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream.png 612w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-180x120.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-283x189.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-54x36.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-420x280.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-74x49.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/cbd-cream-45x30.png 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>How To Get The Most From CBD For\nMuscle Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recovery process is complex, and shortening the amount of time needed between recoveries relies on many different factors. <strong>Taking several different measures at the same time will go a long way in shortening the recovery time beyond what CBD has to offer on its own. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some simple advice for getting more out of CBD for muscle recovery: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>1. <strong>Drink Plenty of Water<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The recovery process releases a lot of metabolic waste into the bloodstream that needs to be filtered out by the kidneys. Aim for at least 3 L of water per day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>2. <strong>Spend Time Stretching After A Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps to remove harmful lactic acid after a workout and improve blood flow to the affected muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>3. Visit A Physiotherapist<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s ideal to seek professional help to monitor your recovery and provide specific advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>4. <strong>Listen To Your Body<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the pain experienced after a workout is more than DOMS. If you feel a sharp or excruciating pain, or the pain is accompanied by a fever, visit a doctor immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>5. <strong>Combine Internal &amp; Topical CBD<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is going to provide the best chance for CBD to exert its effects on the muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>6. <strong>Prioritize Sleep<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, sleep is a critical component of the recovery process. Take the time to rest so you can get back into the gym faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>7. <strong>Seek High-Grade CBD Products Only<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of poor-quality CBD products floating around, many of which lack the potency advertised on the bottle, and may even have contaminants like heavy metals which could negatively affect your recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>8. <strong>Combine Other Health Supplements With CBD<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the best supplements for promoting recovery are branched-chain amino acids      (BCAA\u2019s), magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamin C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>9. <strong>Eat A Balanced Diet With Plenty of Fruits &amp; Vegetables<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to recover the body needs access to the raw materials. These raw materials come from our food. We need proteins (and their amino acid components) to build the structures of muscle tissue, along with trace nutrients and vitamins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"612\" height=\"408\" src=\"http:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman.png 612w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-180x120.png 180w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-283x189.png 283w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-54x36.png 54w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-420x280.png 420w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-74x49.png 74w, https:\/\/dailycbd.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/06\/exercise-man-woman-45x30.png 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Key Takeaways: CBD &amp; Muscle Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD is a popular supplement for a lot of\nreasons. The active ingredient (CBD) interacts with the endocannabinoid system\nto regulate homeostasis throughout the body \u2014 including the muscles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a tough workout, the tiny microfilaments\nin the muscle fibers become damaged \u2014 leading to inflammation, pain, and a loss\nof strength in the muscle. Over the next 3-5 days, the body needs to repair\nthis damage and strengthen the fibers. During this time, it can be difficult to\nkeep exercising that muscle group, which can ultimately slow down your gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injuries are even worse, sometimes keeping you\nout of the gym for months on end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CBD offers several unique benefits to aid the recovery process:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It reduces inflammation to prevent unnecessary damage to surrounding muscles<\/li><li>It improves our quality of sleep to support the regeneration process<\/li><li>It relaxes the muscles to stop spasms and tension<\/li><li>It blocks the transmission of pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These effects help explain why so many athletes report improvement in recovery times after using CBD. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to get the most out of CBD, we\nrecommend you take a multifaceted approach, incorporating other measures into\nthe recovery as well \u2014 such as massage, healthy dietary habits, taking other\nsupplements, drinking water, and ensuring you get plenty of rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The field of CBD and muscle recovery is still young, and there are dozens of interesting research studies on this subject either in progress or planned for the near future. <strong>Be sure to stay tuned by signing up for our newsletter below to receive news and updates on cutting-edge research as it\u2019s published. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2>References <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Ramos, G.
