In the bodybuilding world, health supplements are a huge part of the scene. Supplements like proteins, creatines and even now CBD have the scientific data proving that it can make a difference in muscle growth and help reach their target. Though CBD may not build more muscles for you, it surely can help your body in a positive way through the body transformation journey especially with pain management, inflammation, mood and sleep.
It is pretty normal now to hear people say that they have added CBD oil as part of their fitness regime before or after workout, but what about CBD balm or topicals? To start with in the world of muscle fitness you may have heard the term “CBD muscle balm" while they are pretty much the same as CBD balm or could contain more of ingredients like menthol or essential oil, but they serve the same purpose: pain relief, muscle recovery and relaxation.
CBD or Cannabidiol is a natural compound extracted from the cannabis plant that comes with multiple health benefits like improving sleep, reducing stress and anxiety, pain relief, anti-inflammation, treating epilepsy symptoms, reducing PTSD symptoms and protects from neurological disease. But most importantly CBD is non addictive and does not intoxicate you which means you won't experience the “high" with CBD like you would with a high amount of THC.
Today, we will discuss how CBD balm or topicals like Mellow CBD Soothing Balm can help bodybuilders with their journey in transforming their body.
What is CBD balm? CBD balm is a topical CBD infused cream product intended to be used for external skin application. CBD balm has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. CBD balm often includes ingredients like lavender, essential oil, menthol or vanilla like our vanilla scented CBD-infused Mellow CBD Soothing Balm.
How can CBD balm help body builders:
Anti-inflammation:
Perhaps the most important effects of CBD balm. Inflammation is part of muscle mass formation. Acute inflammation is a necessary part of body building. Acute inflammation is a natural and immediate response by the body to injury, infection, or tissue damage. During this process the common symptoms that you may feel are redness, heat, pain and swelling. These symptoms should go away once the acute inflammatory period is over. Failing to manage inflammation and chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues. CBD balm and CBD oil can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Pain relief and Reduce DOMS:
Pain and working out goes hand in hand as they say no pain no glory. Bodybuilding requires repeated intense workout sessions.
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is the pain and muscle stiffness one experiences after intense workout sessions for a few days. DOMS may occur to people who are not accustomed to heavy training or exercise. A lot of people give up after experiencing DOMS while some push on forward inorder to get your body to get accustomed to heavy weight training.
A lot of people have turned to using CBD balm and CBD oil for pre and post workout to help manage pain, avoid injuries and faster recovery period.
Reduce Stress and Anxiety:
CBD balm helps with the reducing stress and anxiety by interacting with the Endocannabinoid System which is responsible for regulating mood, stress level, memory, immune system and other physiological functions. When you apply CBD topically on your skin, the CBD interacts with the receptors in your brain to promote relaxation.
Mellow CBD Soothing Balm is a superior blend of Cannabidiol (CBD) with carefully sourced active functional ingredients including cacao seed butter, beeswax, arnica, cannabis sativa seed oil, black currant seed oil, vanilla shea butter and many more natural ingredients.

Simply apply a thin layer of balm to the desired area and rub thoroughly until the balm is completely absorbed. Repeat the process if needed. The product is designed for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. If irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Do not apply on open wounds.
