The benefits of CBD for athletic performance and recovery are well-known, which is pushing it into the mainstream as competitive athletes, like MMA fighters, adopt CBD products into their training diets and routines.
CBD has been touted as way to treat or even prevent a number of physical and mental conditions, the former ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to cancer, and the latter including depression, anxiety, and addiction. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex, a prescription drug made primarily of CBD oil, as a treatment for different types of epilepsy.
Having said that, a lot more testing needs to be done on the long-term benefits of using CBD as a treatment for physical and mental health conditions.
