CBD Protein Powder
Cannabidiol (CBD) protein powder is one of the latest CBD products to hit the market. For those serious about fitness and exercise looking for an edge, this protein powder could be an excellent choice.
With the combined powers of protein and cannabidiol, you are sure to go the extra mile. Protein is now a must-have accessory for gym-goers or at-home exercise enthusiasts. Not to mention, the use of CBD for aches and pains, stress, and relaxation has been backed by numerous studies.
What is CBD protein powder?
Athletes and bodybuilders regularly use protein powder to provide muscles with the necessary nutrients to grow. Adding CBD to protein powder could offer additional benefits such as reduced fatigue and inflammation before and after workouts. When the compounds are combined, they may help you work out longer with minimised discomfort and pain.
CBD protein powder contains some of the most popular proteins, such as whey protein. Along with CBD, the protein powders contain other minor ingredients that help in the uptake process. These include minerals, fibres, and supplements such as Omega 6 and 3.
How to use CBD protein powder
To get the most from your protein, you should follow the below steps:
- Combine a scoop of the powder with 5-6 ounces of water. Use a blender bottle to shake the mixture so the two mix evenly.
- It is essential to take the protein powder consistently for the best results.
- When you are not using it, be sure to store the container in a cool, dry place.
The recommended serving could differ slightly depending on which protein powder you purchase. It is essential that you follow the recommended serving and directions before you consume the product.
Benefits of CBD protein powder
CBD protein powder has been proven to be suitable for building muscle due to the many amino acids. The essential amino acids help to repair muscle damage quickly. Amino acids are necessary to build strong muscles as they help you grow new muscle fibres.
The number of amino acids found in your protein powder is just as significant as the amount of protein. Protein combined with the right amount of amino acids can give you a positive balance of nitrogen to build muscle. Since CBD comes from the hemp plant, the protein powder is anti-inflammatory.
This is because hemp contains Omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, protein powder may help to reduce redness, swelling, and pain associated with inflammation. Studies have also backed up CBD’s use for aches and pains, stress, and various female health issues.
Could I test positive for a drug test after consuming CBD protein powder?
CBD protein powders are made according to legal regulations. CBD products cannot legally contain a concentration of more than 1 mg of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This amount is too low to trigger a positive result.
If you are worried about using a CBD protein powder that contains THC, check out our THC-free protein powders.
