Study To Look At Topical CBD Effects On NCAA Student-Athletes
Northern Illinois University and its study partners, University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and Botanics & Health Inc., makers of Tru-Releaf, will conduct a study to confirm Tru-Releaf, a topically applied pure CBD lotion, is THC-free, reduces pain, aids post-workout recovery and most importantly, does not increase levels of THC or CBD in the human body.
Student-athletes, their parents and the general population will benefit by understanding how a safe, pure and effective topical CBD lotion can help them get pain relief without opiates or NSAIDS, both of which can have severe side effects.
The studies will formally begin when the Centers for Disease Control, state and university officials determine it’s safe for student-athletes to return to campus.
Colleges and universities worldwide will be able to use the results from this study as a guide to help students avoid opiate abuse, illicit drug use and remain sports-governing body compliant. This study will also prove invaluable to professional sports organizations and player associations who need alternatives to opiates and drugs that affect mental and physical performance.
“Tru-Releaf can reduce the need for opiates and aid in recovery, something all athletic departments need,” said Michael J. Schultz, CEO of B&H. “Scientific studies show CBD taken by mouth can lead to liver and other internal organ failure, but many manufacturers and retailers continue to press consumers to take it without any scientific proof it works. We deliver 40 micrograms of full-spectrum CBD per pump to deliver natural pain relief. This study will prove that pure topical CBD is effective and a safe method to use CBD, one that does not allow CBD or THC to accumulate in the bloodstream as oral CBD products can.”
