10 Best CBD Gummies And Why Athletes Are Using Them – Forbes

From the beginning of 2019, there has been an influx of discussion regarding Cannabidiol, the oil-based product that is derived from cannabis, and its effects in how professional athletes are beginning to use it.

Across multiple industries and among a number of age groups, Cannabidiol (CBD) has planted its roots nearly everywhere – including with athletes. In fact, in 2020 CBD will become one of the biggest growing topics when it comes to the sports industry and, in particular, when discussing the best, legal ways to recover and reduce stress as an athlete.

In the past year alone, soccer players have become vocal about their usage of CBD, including American national figures like Megan and Rachael Rapinoe. This has led to the World Anti-Doping Agency announcing that players are permitted to use CBD, which shows that it is here to stay to enhance the longevity of professional careers.

While the verdict on CBD’s overall impact is still out, regulations around the product in the sports industry are changing.

In 2019 alone, CBD allowance has been one of the most talked about topics in soccer. Players have advocated for its use as an anti-inflammatory aid and pain reliever – especially with the increase on the number of matches per-season and a lack of a true winter break in certain countries (the Premier League being one of those).  

In examining what type of CBD is best for not only athletes but for the everyday person as well, there are certain elements to consider.

Here’s a breakdown of the latest CBD gummies that soccer athletes have mentioned as working for them in a variety of different capacities:
