THE NEW NORMAL FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE

With recent advancements in cannabis research, CBD has emerged as the one organic technology that can play a significant role in enhancing your athletic performance by utilization prior to weight training, speed training, HIIT training, team practices, and competitions. Pua Olonā products do just that.

Before we get into our system of products and what they do, we’ll start off with the most basic question. What is CBD?

The scientific explanation:

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants, specifically industrial hemp. Unlike THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not produce a “high” sensation and has been legalized in all 50 states and many countries worldwide. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates various bodily functions such as mood, pain, appetite, and sleep. It is one of only two organic compounds that stimulates specific, dedicated receptors in the ECS to enhance your body’s natural function to promote overall body wellness.

The simplest way to describe it is to first tell you what it doesn’t do.

Unlike caffeine, CBD doesn’t give you wings. Unlike steroids, it doesn’t enhance your strength or speed and unlike THC it doesn’t get you high. Unlike OTC pain medication, it doesn’t block or inhibit normal biological function and long term, it doesn’t damage your kidneys or liver.

Then what the heck does it do?

What CBD does do is significantly improve mobility post practice and competition, no more spaghetti arms or walking funny after an exhausting practice or dare I say after a grueling “leg day”. CBD also helps to calm the mind. The relief you feel without the stiffness in the joints and muscles is extraordinary, especially when you realize it happens in minutes. I’ll repeat that, this happens in minutes. No need for OTC pharmaceutical pain relief, and no need to ice.

At Pua Olonā, our products just work. I use it, our sponsored athlete’s use it. I truly believe you need to incorporate our products in your daily workouts and competitions. Over time it’s more effective than any current technology designed to deal with muscles and joints because it works in-tune with your body.

This is the new normal training tool that’s all natural, and plant-based. Our products are designed by athletes for athletes to help make everyday better. – Shout out to Eric Yamashita.

Pua Olonā is pronounced: Pooh ah Oh loh nah.

If I were to incorporate anything else in my training regimen alongside CBD, it would be yoga. But that’s another blog.
