CBD Triathlete: Products for Performing Athletes

When competing in a multi sports programme, your goal is for optimal performance – becoming stronger, faster… your body will ache in your attempts to achieve your performance goals.  Finding ways to enhance recovery is therefore of vital importance.

CBD Triathlete was created following founder John Conquest’s discovery of the benefits of CBD, including significantly improving his muscle soreness.  He recognised the importance of the naturally occurring benefits of CBD, compared to over the counter prescription medication, to combat pain and support a training athlete.

Pain, muscle soreness, general injury, sleep disturbance and anxiety, are huge issues in sport.  Knowing the benefits of CBD and having had the realisation that CBD will have a place as a sport supplement for years to come (especially having regard to both WADA’s and UKAD’s removal of CBD from the prohibited substance list), he set about producing a CBD brand that would become recognised in the multi sporting discipline of triathlon.  A brand that would produce products the right way; products designed with endurance athletes in mind; and products that would offer assurances at a time where there is limited social awareness and understanding of CBD and to rebut some of the sceptics amongst us.  CBD Triathlete was created based on this psychology.

CBD Triathlete has taken it back to first principles, focusing on traceability, transparency and compliance and created its flagship product, TRI-ISO.  It contains pure, trusted and certified CBD, at a high quality strength and has zero % THC.  Traceability, transparency and compliance – a product designed to be effective for training athletes, helping you to train harder and recover faster.

CBD is not new in sport.  The benefits of CBD as a supplement have for some time been associated with sports in general, and more recently in multi-sport disciplines, with many professional athletes using CBD to help focus, relax, improve sleep quality and aid recovery.  CBD Triathlete’s entry into the market is based on the psychology of furthering the use of CBD in sport and to support the training athlete by producing products which offer traceability, transparency and endeavour to comply with the rules set by those organisations charged with responsibility for protecting sport.  For example, UKAD's mantra for supplement use is to assess the need and assess the risk.  CBD Triathlete’s TRI-ISO products seek to remove that risk.  It is why CBD Triathlete takes such great pride in its sponsorships of and the use of its TRI-ISO products by a number of professional athletes, including Joe Skipper, Nikki Bartlett and Ruth Astle – professional athletes who use, benefit from and have confidence in our products.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant.  As a naturally occurring substance, CBD does not trigger negative side-effects in the way that anti-inflammatories or over the counter prescription medications may do.  Injury, muscle strains, and associated pain are common and huge issues when training in multi discipline programmes.  Recovery and having the ability to continue to train, to compete and achieve performance goals is therefore critical to our physical and mental well-being as training athletes.

By ingesting and applying topically, CBD can be effective in managing pain and associated anxieties in a way that reduces inflammation and anxiety, promotes quicker healing and fosters better quality sleep.  It is a gentle analgesic, with minimal if any, negative side effects which can be experienced when using over the counter prescription medication.

As we have highlighted, CBD is not new to sport per se, but we recognise that it is considered by most, as a new supplement, around which there is limited awareness. Caffeine as a supplement was once in the same position as CBD finds itself, yet Caffeine is now commonly used.  We think the same will be true of CBD and it will become a daily and/or commonly used supplement.

CBD Triathlete’s products are best in the market, offering traceability, transparency and compliance, support individuals to have the confidence to use and continue to use CBD as a supplement and to help them to train harder and recover faster.
