Master your sleep with CBD

Nem tudom, Ti hogy vagytok vele, de az amúgy is hosszú tél után itt Észak-nyugat Montanában már nagyon várom a március 10-ét, amikor is elkezdődik a nyári időszámítás. Persze előfordulhat, hogy egy óra alvást veszítek azon az éjszakán, de kifizetődő az, hogy a nappalok hosszabbak lesznek, köszönhetően az egyre növekvő napfényes időszakoknak.

I don’t know about you, but after an already long winter here in northwest Montana, which still has a way to go before it’s over, I’m looking forward to March 10, which is when we “spring forward” once again (i.e., Daylight Savings Time). Sure, I may lose an hour of sleep on that night, but the payoff is that the days will feel longer, thanks to ever-increasing periods of sunlight. 

For now, though, the shorter days and reduced hours of sunlight that most of us will be experiencing for at least a few more weeks can negatively affect our mood and can cause fatigue and even sadness. Also, while most of us are nowhere near “peak season” training volume and intensity, we’re all starting to increase our training workload, which often means increased amounts of sleep-affecting aches and soreness. And, as always, there’s plenty going on in our world and in THE world that can keep stress levels high. And that stress can definitely put the kibosh on our ability to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep for any significant length of time.

• A kutatások szerint „a felnőtteknek rendszeresen hét, vagy több órát kell aludniuk az optimális egészség megőrzése érdekében.”(1)
  
  
• Sajnos az adatok azt mutatják, hogy az Egyesült Államokban a felnőttek több mint egyharmada nem éri el ezt az óraszámot.(2)
  
  
• A folyamatosan elegendő, jó minőségű alvás hiánya súlyos következményekkel járhat, „többek között súlygyarapodás és elhízás, cukorbetegség, magas vérnyomás, szívbetegségek és szélütés, depresszió és megnövekedett halálozási kockázat”.
  
  
• Az időnkénti, vagy a krónikus álmatlanság negatívan hat az immunrendszerünkre, potenciálisan növelve a megbetegedések kockázatát. Egy alvással, és az immunrendszer működésével foglalkozó tanulmány a következő következtetést vonja le: „A hosszan tartó alváskorlátozás és a kísérő stresszreakció a gyulladást elősegítő citokinek tartós, nem specifikus termelődését idézi elő, amelyet leginkább krónikus, alacsony fokú gyulladásként írnak le, és immunhiányt is okoznak, amelyek káros hatással vannak a szervezetre.”(3)

We have discussed the importance of getting consistent, high-quality sleep several times; however, it’s worth going over a few key bits of research to emphasize just how important it is.

Hammer CBD - Superb for supporting superior sleep quality Hammer CBD

If we are to perform our best athletically and, more importantly, maintain strong immunity and help protect ourselves from numerous health consequences, we must consistently get sufficient amounts of high-quality sleep. Unfortunately, this is often difficult to do, which is where Hammer CBD comes in.

Though CBD is sometimes thought of more as a powerfully effective way to alleviate aches and soreness—and it definitely does that—all of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in Hammer CBD products are superb allies in helping to alleviate sleep issues. These cannabinoids act on receptors found in the cells that are part of the body’s endocannabinoid system, a system that regulates key aspects of our biology. Among numerous other health benefits, the endocannabinoid system helps regulate sleeping patterns.

The phytocannabinoids in the Hammer CBD “family” of products augment the body’s natural production of cannabinoids, helping to promote better-quality sleep while also providing strong support for the immune system.4

The importance of obtaining enough high-quality sleep is hard to overstate, as many aspects of human health—including proper immune system function—depend on our ability to consistently obtain optimal amounts of sleep. With so many factors that can negatively impact sleep, Hammer CBD is what to reach for to get the full allotment of sleep you need each and every night.

Kérdés: Mi a különbség a széles spektrumú CBD formula és a teljes spektrumú CBD formula között?

Answer: There are over 100 cannabinoids as well as terpenes, flavonoids, and other compounds in the hemp plant, all of which provide numerous benefits for many aspects of human health.

One of the cannabinoids is THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the one responsible for the “high” effect. Broad-spectrum formulas have all the aforementioned cannabinoids, terpenes, and more present, with the exception of THC. Hammer Nutrition’s broad-spectrum CBD formulas are guaranteed via Certificate of Analysis to have 0.0% THC content. If you’re a drug-tested athlete, subject to drug tests in your job, or if you’re one of the countless people who simply don’t want any THC in their bodies, a broad-spectrum formula is what you want.

In a full-spectrum formula, everything is present, including up to 0.3% THC. This formulation is oftentimes a more attractive option, especially for anyone not subject to drug testing, because of what is known as the “entourage effect.” This describes the synergistic benefits experienced when all the compounds in the hemp plant are consumed together. While a broad-spectrum formula offers tremendous benefits, a full-spectrum formula offers even better, more complete “entourage effect” benefits.

Note: 0.3% THC content is nowhere near what would be required for the psychoactive effects to occur; one would literally have to take many bottles of a full-spectrum formula to come anywhere near close.
