Product Information

CBDa(Cannabidiolic Acid) is the raw, acidic precursor to CBD found in the hemp plant. Unlike most CBD products, CBDa is not exposed to combustion or harsh processing so it retains its natural acidic form and full potency.
Unlike CBD, CBDa hasn't been converted by heat or harsh processing. That means it's more bioavailable, works at lower concentrations, and retains the natural properties that make it more effective for recovery and inflammation support.
Athletes put serious demands on their bodies, and recovery is part of the training program. CBDa's anti-inflammatory properties work at the source, reducing the inflammatory load that builds up with high-frequency training. It may help reduce soreness, support faster recovery between sessions, and allow deeper, more effective treatment during massage and manual therapy.
