When it comes to enhancing your workout routine and post-exercise recovery, the right tools can make all the difference. While protein shakes, foam rollers, and compression gear are popular choices, an increasingly impactful addition to many active lifestyles is a quality CBD product. Specifically, CBD topicals like full-spectrum CBD salves, and CBD Body Oils, which are gaining traction among fitness enthusiasts for their ability to soothe tired muscles, ease joint discomfort, and promote faster recovery.
This blog explores the best CBD products for working out, focusing on what makes CBD salves and CBD Body Oils such powerful tools for athletes, gym-goers, and anyone looking to take care of your body while staying active. Learn how full-spectrum CBD topicals work, their unique benefits, and how to incorporate them with purpose, to elevate your fitness routine.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the many beneficial compounds found in hemp and cannabis plants. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to promote balance (homeostasis), well-being and oftentimes a deeper sense of calm. Unlike its cannabinoid cousin THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning it won’t make you feel “high.” What it will do is interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors that help to regulate pain, inflammation, and overall homeostasis. Additionally, when CBD is accompanied by small doses of THC in topical products (Full Spectrum Products), the synergy provides a more comprehensive effect without the feeling associated with traditional cannabis products.
Sprains, muscle fatigue, and joint discomfort can leave you on the sideline for days, but the right CBD product offers a natural solution that can help get you back in the game.
Natural Pain Relief: Instead of relying on over-the-counter painkillers, CBD provides plant-based healing properties by interacting with ECS receptors found in the skin and muscles.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: CBD’s natural ability to target inflammation can help to ease sore muscles and support recovery after a tough workout.
Targeted Therapy: Well formulated CBD topicals allow you to focus on key problem areas, delivering powerful and targeted relief exactly where you need it most.
Whether it’s pre-workout preparation, post-workout recovery, or general joint discomfort, full spectrum CBD topicals have emerged as an essential tool for long-term fitness support and performance in the gym.
Training breaks down your muscles, and recovery is where the serious muscle growth happens. However, the process of muscle repair often comes with inflammation, stiffness, soreness, and discomfort. For both professionals and casual fitness lovers alike, this can slow progress and even lead to injury if the recovery process is not managed correctly.
This is where CBD steps in, efficiently targeting discomfort and sore spots while supporting the body’s natural recovery process. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a complex network in the body that can help to regulate pain, and inflammatory response. When applied topically, the right CBD product allows for targeted relief to areas affected by workout wear and tear.
While continued studies and research are needed, recent research suggests a potential role for CBD to improve the efficiency of the muscle recovery process, with many individuals who use cannabis feeling as though it helps with their exercise recovery. Based on what is currently known from scientific research, CBD may also have potential benefits and properties including helping athletes to reduce stress and calm down in the face of intense training and competition, and deflate muscles after the damage caused by physical exertion.
But not all CBD products are created equal. Here at Entourus, we specialize in full-spectrum formulations infused with selectively chosen terpenes, designed to amplify the benefits of our cannabis extracts for maximum recovery.
Entourus was founded on the principle of creating a gold standard for CBD topicals. Through years of rigorous research and development, we have established a benchmark in the market by offering a line of salves that prioritize efficacy, purity, and safety. Here’s what makes Entourus CBD products unique and a cut above the rest:
Pure Organic Ingredients
All Entourus products combine ultra-pure Full-spectrum CBD with carefully selected natural ingredients, targeting muscle soreness and discomfort at the source. Each product includes powerful botanical compounds including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, promoting the "entourage effect". This synergistic effect amplifies the healing properties of CBD, resulting in a more powerful and long-lasting CBD topical.
Advanced Formulations for Deep Absorption
Unlike current topicals on the market, every Entourus product is engineered for optimal skin absorption. Our team carefully selected organic ingredients of the highest quality, that were low on the comedogenic scale and thoughtfully refined to serve as the best carriers for our cannabis extracts. Products such as our CBD Salve and CBD body oil penetrate deep into the skin quickly and effectively, bringing CBD into direct interaction with localized endocannabinoid receptors. This is one of the main reasons that our products can be felt within minutes after use, so you don’t have to wait to get the support you need.
Thoughtfully Sourced and Carefully Crafted
Entourus goes beyond offering powerful products; our commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every detail—from consciously cultivated, non-GMO hemp grown entirely in the USA to UV light-protected packaging that preserves freshness and potency. We are always focused on providing the highest quality products, for the maximum impact in the lives of our customers.
Full-Spectrum Support for Muscle and Joint Recovery
If joint or muscle discomfort is holding you back from reaching your peak performance, Entourus CBD topicals may be just the solution you have been searching for. Rich in supportive compounds including CBD, trace amounts of THC, and many other minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and other organic ingredients packed with antioxidants; our topicals are finely tuned to promote athletic recovery!
When it comes to incorporating CBD into your fitness routine, choosing the right products can make all the difference. One of the key factors to consider is the method of application. Body Oils and Roll Ons or Active Sticks are great for athletes seeking localized support, as they allow for quick absorption and are ideal for no mess applications.
For those who prefer ultra powerful localized relief, CBD topicals such as salves are also excellent options. They can soothe specific sore muscles or stiff joints after a demanding session at the gym, providing deep penetrating support that targets discomfort without affecting other areas of the body. The versatility of Entourus CBD topicals means there’s something for everyone, whether you’re focused on enhancing performance before a big competition with our CBD Body Oil or speeding up recovery after a gold medal placement with one of our CBD Salves.
Finally, it’s important to remember that consistency is key when incorporating cannabis products into your fitness regimen. Regular use can help to maximize its potential effects, and we recommend re-applying your product several times throughout the day. This consistency of use ensures that your body maintains a certain level of all the beneficial plant compounds such as the cannabinoids and terpenes throughout the day, promoting homeostasis and supporting the body’s natural healing process.
By combining your CBD topical with other beneficial practices such as proper hydration, thorough stretching, a balanced diet, and adequate rest, you can feel confident that you have a comprehensive approach to elevating your fitness and recovery to the next level.
