A Balanced Approach to Using CBD for Pain...

Until now, using CBD for pain relief has typically consisted of CBD topicals, topicals, and… topicals. But while immediate, source-specific pain relief is great for the occasional sore muscle or ache in your joints, it can't really scratch that all-over pain that comes with a full-body workout or the constant aches and pains from old injuries.

Fortunately, you can now find a head-to-toe solution in our cbdMD MAX for Pain tablets - one of the first CBD pain relief ingestible supplements specifically geared toward pain management. Need more information? We've got you covered on questions such as:

  • Should you use CBD for pain?
  • What else is in CBD pain relief products?
  • Is there a full body CBD solution for pain?
  • How do you determine the best CBD for pain relief products?
  • Is all CBD the same?
  • Do the active ingredients matter?

Why Use CBD for Pain?

Thanks to its relationship with the cannabinoid receptors in your endocannabinoid system (ECS), CBD has more influence over your body than you might think. From your skin and bones to your motor activity and pain perception, CBD oil has the ability to affect many functions related to pain and pain management.

Made with both our broad spectrum CBD and our new high potency full spectrum CBD formula, our CBD pain relief products give you that boost of full-body wellness. Take that and add in anti-inflammatories or other traditionally medicinal ingredients, such as menthol and histamine dihydrochloride, and you have a winning formula for pain relief.

What Happens When You Combine Anti-Inflammatories and CBD for Pain?

CBD and the rest of the over 100 cannabinoids derived from the Cannabis sativa plant have a number of amazing benefits for your body that play a large part in improving your pain. Because pain isn't a completely isolated occurrence, and it's often affected by things such as the quality of your sleep, muscle tension, and even your mood.

And wouldn't you know, CBD just happens to help with all three!

By working through the network of receptors in your endocannabinoid system, CBD can impact your motor coordination, cardiovascular system, pain perception, skeletal muscle, and so much more. Which is why one of the best ways to mitigate discomfort and stiffness is by using a combination of anti-inflammatories and CBD for pain.

Since pain comes in so many different forms and locations, it shouldn't come as a surprise that we've developed a variety of pain management solutions over the years. That said, the two most common pain relief methods revolve around topicals and ingestibles. While topicals are designed to be applied directly to the source of your discomfort to produce localized benefits, ingestibles provide you with all over relief.

Both approaches have positives and negatives, depending on the severity and location(s) of your pain. If you have more than a few sore or stiff areas across your body, then you might want to opt for an ingestible rather than tending to everything individually.

In that case, you can breathe easy: cbdMD now offers CBD pain relief tablets.

MAX Out Your CBD Pain Relief

CBD topicals are great, but if you're tired of constantly applying creams and gels or you just want a simpler way to deal with constant pain, you might want to try taking a daily CBD for pain supplement. And since effectiveness of CBD actually increases the more consistently you use it, cbdMD MAX for Pain tablets are really a win-win.

Whether you choose the 60 or 120 count, each serving comes with a whopping 200 mg of CBD, 4 mg of THC, and 250 mg of Univestin, a blend of powerful pain-relieving botanicals. By adding a full-body CBD pain relief supplement to your daily routine, you can experience less pain, soreness, and stiffness in your day-to-day life.

If you've tried everything else to no avail, you might just find that blending traditional medicinal ingredients with the best CBD for pain management is the answer you've been looking for.

Finding the Best CBD for Pain Relief

The first step after deciding to use CBD for pain management is to find a product, and company, you can trust. While this can seem daunting, there are a few easy to spot red flags you can keep an eye out for by asking yourself questions such as:

  • Does the price or benefits seem too good to be true?
  • Do they claim their CBD can cure, treat, or prevent diseases or illnesses?
  • Are the claims backed by scientific research?
  • Do they provide third-party lab results - and if so, are they easy to find?
  • Is their customer service easy to contact?
  • What do independent reviews say about them and their products?

Another key aspect to consider is the ingredients themselves. This includes both the source of the hemp used and the active ingredients included in the CBD oil formula.

Ingredients and Sourcing Matter

The best CBD for pain relief products all come down to the sourcing and active ingredients.

We want to make sure you know exactly what you're ingesting or putting on your body, which is why we provide you with clear lab results for each and every one of our products. That way you can be confident that our CBD pain relief products contain the same levels of CBD, THC, and other active ingredients listed on our labels.

Although you can usually find a short description of the benefits and capabilities of our CBD formulas and the other major ingredients under the product descriptions, ingredients, and FAQs tabs, you can never have too much information. Below you'll find more of a deep dive into the four main ingredients in our CBD pain relief products: CBD, Univestin, menthol, and histamine dihydrochloride.

Because once you understand what the active ingredients do, you'll know how to choose the best CBD pain product for you.

US-Grown Hemp

Unfortunately, not all CBD is created equal.

The quality of a particular CBD formula or product depends on its sourcing, extraction process, and testing standards.

First and foremost, the easiest way to comply with the 2018 Farm Bill regulations is by starting with US-grown hemp. This way companies can be more confident that their hemp contains less than the federally legal THC limit (0.3 percent). Of course, every plant's genetics are a little different, which is where third-party testing comes in.

During CBD extraction, it's important to monitor the process for potentially dangerous by-products and to make sure that every batch is consistent, federally compliant, and high-quality. Once the final product is formulated, it's time for independent, ISO-certified third-party lab testing.

The last, but certainly most important, step in the manufacturing process is independent testing. Even with the best base ingredients and a meticulous production system, if you don't test the final product, then there's no way to be certain that it's accurate.

At cbdMD, we test every single batch of productsand provide you with the results so you can be confident that you're using consistent, high-quality CBD.

Univestin

Our brand new cbdMD MAX for Pain tablets contain our proprietary full spectrum hemp extract formula and one other key ingredient: Univestin.

If you've never heard of Univestin before, you're probably not alone. Patented by Unigen, Univestin is produced from a blend of Acacia catechu extract (heartwood) and Chinese skullcap root extract (Scutellaria baicalensis).

Acacia catechu is a deciduous tree native to South and Southeast Asia, and is also referred to as Senegalia catechu or the cutch tree. Thanks to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, extracts taken from the bark and heartwood of this tree are often used as medicinal ingredients in traditional Indian medicine.

Chinese skullcap is a flowering herb native to China and various parts of Russia. Used as a medicinal plant in China for thousands of years, Chinese Skullcap has also been used to treat a variety of ailments, including inflammation and hemorrhaging. This is in large part thanks to baicalin, a major compound in Chinese skullcap with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

By combining Acacia catechu and Chinese skullcap, Unigen has created a botanical blend capable of mitigating discomfort, pain, and stiffness in your muscles and joints in just three to five days. And thanks to our full spectrum CBD formula, cbdMD MAX for Pain will help reduce or even eliminate your pain in no time.

Univestin is non-habit forming, and works by blocking the chemical signals in your body that trigger swelling and inflammation. When you prevent some or all of the discomfort in your joints and muscles that would traditionally lead to pain and stiffness, you both improve your overall mobility and decrease your recovery period.

Which means that in less than a single week, you can experience:

  • Less pain
  • Less stiffness
  • Less soreness
  • Improved mobility
  • Greater range of motion
  • Enhanced flexibility

Menthol

Unlike Acacia catechu or Chinese skullcap, menthol is a more commonly used pain reliever in topical American medicine. Menthol works by dilating your blood vessels, allowing your blood to flow faster and helping your immune cells reach the affected area.

While it is most often viewed as a bad thing, inflammation actually has a very important job.

Aside from providing a faster transportation system, inflammation also allows your immune cells to more easily separate from your blood vessels. And as your immune cells are responsible for helping your body to heal, the faster they can reach the injured tissue, the sooner the healing process can begin.

It is for this reason that we've used menthol as a key ingredient in our CBD Freeze Roller formula. CBD Freeze helps increase blood flow to your sore muscles, prompting your immune cells to get to work while providing you with instant, soothing relief. Boosted by the muscle supporting properties of CBD, our pain-relieving roll-on gel is the perfect post-workout partner.

Histamine Dihydrochloride

Like menthol, histamine dihydrochloride is also a topical pain reliever that works by dilating your blood vessels at the application site. Although there are few studies on the efficacy of histamine dihydrochloride, it is most commonly used for muscle pain, back pain, and arthritis.

cbdMD's CBD Recover combines the muscle-relaxing properties of CBD with the warming sensation of histamine dihydrochloride to bring some much needed relief to your stiff joints and muscles.
