Why topical for recovery
Topical CBD acts on receptors in the skin and underlying tissue at the application site. It doesn't enter the bloodstream meaningfully — which means you can use full-spectrum topicals even if you're drug-tested (since topicals don't trigger blood-screen detection of THC).
Our Arnica-Infused CBD Salve Stick combines CBD with arnica, a botanical with a long history of topical use. The stick format means no mess, no fingers, and easy targeted application to a sore knee, shoulder, IT band, or lower back.
Organic CBD Oil Oral Drops - THC Free Broad Spectrum
Broad-spectrum oil for evening systemic use. THC-free, so it works for tested athletes.
FAQ
How fast does topical CBD work?
Most users report onset within 10-30 minutes. Effects last 2-4 hours at the application site.
Can I use it before a workout instead of after?
Yes. Some users apply preemptively to a known weak area before a session. Others use it after for recovery. Either works.
