CBD Sports Cream: For Long-lasting, Full Body Relaxation

If you’ve got some muscle tension or soreness causing your body grief, CBD sports cream is a suitable recovery option for many people. Though, sometimes regular athletic gels and salves aren’t enough. When you need that added kick for the greatest overall muscle and joint relief, CBD sports cream is here for you.

Sports cream has long been recognized for rejuvenating properties, and improvements in CBD technology allow these two substances to deliver their benefits together. There are enough CBD creams to make anyone’s head spin, and this guide will teach you everything you need to know!

What Is CBD Sports Cream?

CBD sports cream relieves sore muscles and joints, irritated skin, back discomfort, and neck problems. CBD cream often offers its benefits through cooling sensations, warm feelings, or a combination of the two.

Salves, balms, or rubs are all appropriate substitutes for sports creams. If you see a roll-on product, this is usually the same cream, placed in an easy-to-use applicator. However, salves most commonly come in a small tub that is similar to many cosmetic products.

What’s in CBD Sports Cream?

The most common ingredients in CBD sports cream are menthol, aloe vera, Cetearyl alcohol, and candelilla wax. Higher quality products also add vitamin E and olive, coconut, and jojoba oil. Essential oils like peppermint and frankincense can also give a relief salve that extra soothing quality.

Menthol is an ingredient you’ll see in the vast majority of sports cream products. It is a counter-irritant that is responsible for that “icy hot” feeling many relief salves create. Menthol is synthetically produced the most often. If you’re looking for an all-natural product but still want that icy hot feeling, look for CBD sports rubs made with peppermint oil. One of the menthol’s sources is peppermint. This essential oil is an excellent and natural way to get a core ingredient of many sports creams.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid, which means it is a compound derived from cannabis plants. CBD is extracted from hemp because it has low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels and does not induce “high” feelings. The only effects CBD promotes are relaxation, focus, and overall well-being.

Since hemp has trace amounts of THC (0.3% or less), some CBD relief salves keep these low levels. When THC’s presence stays insignificant, it strengthens the CBD’s effectiveness without any intoxication. The more hemp-derived compounds ingested at the same time, the stronger the CBD is. This boost is known as the entourage effect. Products with trace amounts of THC are known as full-spectrum, and they provide the strongest entourage effect. If a product is infused with broad-spectrum CBD oil, that means all of the compounds extracted from hemp stay except for the THC.

How Does CBD Sports Cream Work?

CBD boosts our endocannabinoid system (ECS), responsible for essential bodily functions like breathing, heart rate, and digestion. CBD aids our ECS by supporting the cannabinoid receptors in our bodies. These receptors are located throughout our brain, organs, nervous system, and skin. The cannabinoid receptors on our skin interact with the CBD molecules, which helps our ECS perform the best. CBD works with other ingredients such as camphor oil, menthol, aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter to create a powerful sensation that eases your soreness.

Some CBD sports creams are transdermals. Transdermals are products that use additional compounds to penetrate the skin deeper, and they can come in the form of a patch or cream.

Whether your product is soothing your muscles or affecting deeper tissues, CBD benefits the body all the same. Avoid salves that claim their additives allow CBD to get further into our body or increase its effects. These ingredients are usually synthetic and may be dangerous, as CBD doesn’t need much help!

How To Use CBD Sports Cream

Before using CBD sports cream, first, read the manufacturer’s label. Rub the salve onto your back, neck, joints — any area that’s experiencing discomfort, soreness, or fatigue. Never apply a topical (a product meant to be rubbed on) to your eyes, mouth area, nose, or genitals. An even better way to use sports cream is to massage it into the desired area. This increases blood flow, which can also help recovery. The effects do not take long to kick in (within 15 minutes) and last roughly 2-3 hours.

Try various amounts of CBD salve until you find doses that work for you. Many people apply some preparatory cream before exercising, small amounts on pressure points during their workout, and a large muscle recovery dose at the end of the session, practice, or game. A good rule of thumb is to use as much salve as it takes to feel CBD’s effects. Broad and full-spectrum creams are applied the same way, so feel free to try both until you find the one that is well-suited to your needs. To ease the tension placed on athletes’ muscles, we recommend full-spectrum CBD.

Even if you’re not an athlete, there’s still plenty of benefits you get out of CBD-infused cream. Nearly 65 million Americans suffer from back pain. Use some relief salve at the beginning and end of each day to ease the tension associated with back discomfort.

When first figuring out your CBD sports cream preferences, it may take some trial and error. Questions like how much CBD per use and the right cream quantity to apply is far easier to answer if you’re guaranteed a money-back guarantee! Keep an eye out for these before you purchase!

Best CBD Sports Cream

The finest CBD sports cream on the market is Cheef Botanicals’ full-spectrum relief salve, infused with cannabidiol oil. All of our products are organic, using all-natural ingredients — this salve is no exception. Our ingredients include candelilla wax, calendula flowers, peppermint oil, and coconut oil. Those are just some of the natural additives you’ll find in our CBD relief salve. You won’t find any artificial preservatives or harmful chemicals in some other cosmetic products. Cannabidiol comes from hemp plants, and even our crops contain no artificial pesticides.

Our CBD oil is extracted using liquid CO2. Other companies use solvent-based extraction techniques that may leave behind toxic residue. Our solvent-free method involves running CO2 through the ground-up plant material, evaporating without leaving any harmful residue.

The highest quality hemp comes from Oregon and Colorado, the leading states in cannabis cultivation. American grown hemp gets evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), ensuring the plants are responsibly grown and do not contain more than the legal THC limit (0.3% or less). Any plant with more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol is federally illegal. Avoid products with imported hemp because they may avoid such strict regulations. One common reason for an inferior product is the hemp itself.

Our full-spectrum topical CBD relief salve is available in 500mg and 1000mg for extra strength. Whether you need muscle recovery, back soreness relief, or general soothing, this is the product for you.
