A Buyer's Guide to CBD Muscle Gel and CBD

Muscle Rub | Dr. K CBD

Although a pack of ice is still the modern athlete's go-to remedy for a little post-workout
soreness, CBD Muscle Gel and muscle massages have come a long way in just a few short
years. Asking the typical rugby star if they had ever tried cannabidiol in 2016 (doesn't that
feel like many centuries ago? ) would have gotten you a blank look. It still might in the
present, but the moment you make it clear that "cannabidiol is only the scientific word for
CBD," you're more likely to receive a warm response. Chemists all across the UK are unsure
if they can continue to neglect the CBD industry due to the significant growth in demand for
CBD products. Athletes are known for being health-conscious, therefore CBD Muscle Gel
and CBD Muscle Rub are quickly taking over their toolkit. These topical solutions, which are
those applied to the skin, are fresh takes on time-tested favorites like Biofreeze or Vicks
VapoRub, but with one important distinction: the CBD in question. CBD is a legally
recognized substance in the UK that is a naturally occurring component of the hemp plant,
the source of all over-the-counter cannabidiol products. A CBD joint gel or muscle rub has
the same legal standing as any other sticky item you may rub on your shoulders after
working out as long as it contains less than 0.2 percent THC, the psychoactive component
that gives marijuana its recognizable high. Why, therefore, have these topicals with CBD
become so popular? Undoubtedly, the novelty element plays a role in some of it, but studies
have shown that CBD topicals may have a number of health advantages over non-CBD
products. Athletes find it appealing because, after all, who wouldn't want to feel better
without having to put in more effort? But although some have lauded CBD Muscle Gel and
CBD Muscle Rub as the future of sports recovery, others have raised doubts about them
(understandably, considering how new and unfamiliar they are). It's a discussion worth
looking into (a little bit).
How Do CBD Muscle Rub and Joint Gels Work?
We are messy, multifaceted organisms called humans. There are numerous processes in
our bodies that are continually vying for "homeostasis," or equilibrium, and occasionally
succeeding in doing so. Most of us attempt to assist in this way in any way we can.
For instance, you might take probiotics if your digestive system is having trouble processing
a particularly big amount of cheese. Even though it is less well understood, our bodies also
contain another system that is equally crucial. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a
system of receptors found throughout the body that regulates a surprising number of bodily
processes (which is why CBD can have such a constellation of effects). The largest organ of
the body, the skin, as well as the brain, gut, muscles, and other tissues, have ECS receptors.
Understanding this idea is essential to comprehending how CBD topicals work, including
joint gels and CBD Muscle Rub. Muscle CBD Gel and CBD Muscle Rub frequently contain
ingredients that are intended to stimulate receptors both on and beneath the skin, in contrast
to CBD cosmetics like lip balm and mascara, which are only meant to affect the skin's ECS
receptors. In theory, it is simple enough to understand. However, individuals looking to locate
a CBD joint gel or muscle massage that is genuinely worth the money have some difficulties
due to the unregulated nature of the UK CBD business. Here's how to make sure you're not
being taken advantage of while looking for the best CBD product for you.

Choosing a CBD Joint Gel or Muscle Rub: What To Look For

If you've ever stepped into your neighborhood sports store and inquired about protein
powders, you're already familiar with the strange lingo and meticulous attention to detail that
can go into this kind of buying. But don't worry—actually it's much simpler than you might
think to discover a nice CBD muscle massage or joint gel. One benefit is that you won't have
to bother about learning a short lexicon of scientific jargon relating to cannabis. In reality, if
you only concentrate on the following ideas, you'll probably find what you're looking for:
unbiased laboratory testing The bad news is that there are now no official tests that a
particular joint gel or muscle must pass before it can be sold on the market because the UK
government is still working up its CBD laws. The good news is that to meet this demand,
independent testing labs have popped up all across the nation. Since store shelves began to
overflow with CBD products from con artists trying to get a piece of the action, which is
predicted to reach £1 billion by 2025, the UK's Centre for Medicinal Cannabis (CMC) has
called for better regulation of the CBD business. Recently, it appears that their advocacy is
having an impact, and athletes are benefiting greatly. Lab testing helps demonstrate that a
topical CBD product is devoid of pesticides, solvents, and other substances you'd prefer to
avoid rubbing on your skin in addition to guaranteeing that it contains less THC than is
legally allowed in a joint gel or CBD Muscle Rub. Usually, you can find the outcomes of
these tests right on the brand's website (if they're hard to find, you should be suspicious).
The majority of CBD products now on the market go through this type of testing, but some
companies that target athletes especially go above and above by having their products
tested for illegal chemicals as well.

Quantity of CBD
First, a confession: there isn't a universally acknowledged "correct amount" of CBD for a joint
gel or CBD Muscle Rub. According to a research from the World Health Organization
(WHO), there is no risk of "overdosing" on CBD because it is non-toxic and non-addictive,
thus you would prefer your topical to have more than less. It's not quite as straightforward as
just picking the product with the most CBD, though. Anyone with a basic understanding of
mathematics can easily understand the reasoning behind this: you are primarily interested in
the CBD concentration. For instance, 300 milligrams of CBD is a reasonable amount to
include in a 100 ml joint gel. However, if you were to increase the volume of that gel to 500
ml, even doubling the CBD content to 600 mg would result in a less potent product. Making
an apple-to-apples comparison may be challenging due to the significant variations in
composition and uses among CBD topicals (a CBD Muscle Rub and a joint gel might have
quite different concentrations, for example). To get a solid understanding of the "baseline"
CBD content of a topical, compare different varieties of the same product.

Kind of CBD
You should think about the sort of CBD your topical includes in addition to how much is in it.
You are not alone if you were unaware that there were many forms of CBD. And you don't
have to spend too much time figuring out all the subtle differences between them.
The only thing you need to keep in mind is that there are three primary categories of CBD
oil, and they differ when it comes to THC. Full spectrum CBD, which contains all the
naturally occurring chemicals in the hemp plant, is the least processed form of CBD. THC
has been removed from broad spectrum CBD, however the other non-CBD components
have remained. Because all other compounds have been eliminated, CBD isolate is
frequently referred to as "pure CBD." The best CBD topical for you to use will mostly rely on
how you feel about THC. It's important to keep in mind that no CBD joint gel or CBD Muscle
Rub on the market will make you feel high because even full spectrum products only contain
very little amounts of THC. To be safe, a lot of athletes choose CBD isolation topicals, but
ultimately, it comes down to preference.

Other Substances
Although the CBD could be the major draw, a decent joint gel or CBD Muscle Rub will also
invite some additional guests. For instance, some companies combine CBD with essential
oils to create a natural product with two barrels. Lavender essential oils are recognized for
their relaxing effects, while lemon essential oils give you a boost of vitality. Essential oils
have advantages for your nose in addition to their many health advantages for the body.
While many individuals prefer unscented CBD Muscle Gel and CBD Muscle Rub, not
everyone likes the smell of hemp. Additionally, you should confirm that your CBD topical
does not contain any menthol or capsicum. When using your topical, these are renowned for
offering cooling and heating sensations, respectively.

'Regular' vs Transdermal
We previously indicated that CBD Muscle Gel and CBD Muscle Rub function on the
muscles and joints beneath the skin in addition to the skin's surface. As it turns out, this can
be a little challenging because cutting through all that tissue is difficult. However, research
has shown that transdermal CBD can be useful for treating problems that go beyond the
surface. In the worlds of beauty and sports performance, transdermal products are not a
recent development. They are essentially items made to penetrate far into the body. Their
molecular structure enables them to pass through minute cellular gaps that serve as barriers
for conventional items. You may or may not require this extra-potent formula, depending on
the symptoms you're seeking to treat. But at the very least, it's something to bear in mind as
you shop.
The Final Word on CBD Muscle Rub and Joint Gels
You should now have a solid grasp of CBD topicals like joint gels and muscle massages, but
there are still some crucial points to discuss. First, before utilizing a CBD joint gel or CBD
Muscle Rub, make sure to consult your doctor. The majority of medical professionals concur
that CBD is safe on its own, and interactions with medicines are uncommon. However, it's a
good idea to check in here as well, just like you would if you were beginning a new diet or
exercise routine. Additionally, even though drug tests only look for THC levels and do not
test for CBD, false positive results have occasionally been noted. These incidents are
uncommon, just like drug interactions. Newer tests assert that this issue has been resolved,
but only time will tell. Having said that, CBD topicals are typically among the most secure
and well-liked CBD delivery systems. The benefits of using CBD Muscle Gel and CBD
Muscle Rub outweigh the drawbacks for the vast majority of users, which is why these
products keep flying off the shelves. If you decide to join the fight, it's a good idea to keep
your wits about you, but as long as you keep in mind the aforementioned advice, you should
be fine.
