As athletes push their bodies to the limit they deal with the resulting muscle fatigue, inflammation, and pain. CBD has the potential to revolutionize recovery time.

Cannabidiol is the molecule that is abbreviated as CBD. It can be extracted from either the marijuana or hemp plant. Here at Doc D’s, we only use agricultural USA-grown hemp. Unlike the THC found in marijuana plants, CBD is non-intoxicating so it doesn’t give you a “high” that may affect or alter perception. In general, there are more than 100 naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the hemp plant in addition to CBD, as well as terpenes and flavonoids. Terpenes are fragrant oils that bind to receptors in the human body, and flavonoids are a group of phytonutrients that serve as cell messengers. All of those compounds have their own health-promoting benefits and they all work together to produce the “Entourage Effect”, a term coined by the scientists who studied them. Research is still ongoing concerning the various health benefits of all these compounds, but we do know that the more of these compounds, the better. Our extraction process produces an extract that is called “Broad Spectrum” because it removes all the THC, but keeps all the rest of the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to provide the all-important “entourage effect”.
