CBD for Athletes

CBD for Athletes - Naturally Mignon CBD

Is CBD for athletes?

The intense training regimens of elite athletes have long necessitated various methods for managing pain and inflammation.

Recently, the Journal of Pain Research published a study demonstrating that topical CBD pain salve use was both effective and safe among elite athletes.

The study aimed to assess the tolerability and safety of using topical CBD salve on elite athletes who reported pain or inflammation from their athletic activities.

The study involved the application of a topical CBD salve containing 500 mg of CBD per 2 oz to the affected area twice daily for three weeks.

Participants also completed a daily pain and side effect diary throughout the study period.

Results of the study showed a significant reduction in pain levels among participants over the three-week study period.

The second week witnessed the greatest reduction in pain levels, with an average pain score decrease from 6.48 to 2.26 at the end of the study.

The majority of participants also reported better sleep quality, with less trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.

Furthermore, the study found that the topical CBD salve use was well-tolerated among the participants, with only minor side effects reported.

If you are interested in trying a CBD ointment for your topical pain, Naturally Mignon offers a CBD Pain Salve in scent-free, lavender and orange. Our salves were not used in the study mentioned above, but our customers reviews speak to its effectiveness.

Six participants reported experiencing skin irritation, which was mild and quickly resolved with continued use of the CBD ointment.

There were no reports of serious adverse effects throughout the study period.

The study’s findings add to the growing body of research indicating that CBD can help manage pain and inflammation.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, a key regulator of pain, inflammation, and other bodily functions, resulting in reduced pain and inflammation and overall well-being.

For many elite athletes, CBD has become a popular alternative to traditional pain medications that can have negative side effects and be addictive. CBD, on the other hand, is non-addictive and has few reported negative side effects.

In conclusion, the study provides evidence that topical CBD salve use is effective and well-tolerated among elite athletes.

As more research is conducted in this area, we can expect to see a clearer understanding of the potential benefits of CBD for pain management and overall wellness.

If you would like to use a CBD ointment for topical pain, Naturally Mignon offers scent-free, lavender and orange CBD Pain Salve. Please note, our CBD pain salve was not used in the study. However, customer reviews are a good indicator of its effectiveness.

CBD Dosage Calculator

CBD Dosage Calculator - Naturally Mignon CBD

CBD Dosage Calculator: Get the right dose!

CBD oil users seeking the potential benefits of CBD oil for anxiety, sleep, and relaxation often struggle to determine the appropriate dosages due to the lack of standardization in the industry.

A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology suggests that there is no one-size-fits-all dosage for CBD oil and that the optimal dosage varies depending on factors such as weight, tolerance, and symptom severity.

One of the most important aspects of supplementing with CBD oils and edibles is getting the the dose right for you. This may take some experimentation.

This means determining how many milligrams of CBD you are getting in each serving. CBD is commonly measured in milligrams.

Most CBD companies, like Naturally Mignon, have both milligrams per serving and milligrams per bottle on the label.

CBD for anxiety and OCD

For anxiety, the study recommends starting with a low dosage of 10mg to 20mg per day and gradually increasing until the desired effect is achieved, with a maximum daily dosage of 600mg.

When to take CBD oil for sleep

For sleep, the study recommends a slightly higher dosage of 40mg to 160mg per day, taken in the evening before bed.

However, CBD oil should not replace proper sleep hygiene practices.

CBD relax

For relaxation, a lower dosage of 10mg to 30mg per day may be sufficient.

Our CBD dosage calculator can help you adjust and experiment with the right dosage for you. 

It’s important to note that full spectrum CBD oil contains trace amounts of THC, which can have psychoactive effects.

Experts recommend starting with a low dosage of CBD oil and gradually increasing it while monitoring the effects.

Consumers should consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new supplement regimen.

n summary, finding the proper dosages for full spectrum CBD oil requires careful consideration of individual factors.

Starting with a low dosage and gradually increasing while monitoring the effects is key.

Is CBD an Aphrodisiac?

Is CBD an aphrodisiac? - Naturally Mignon CBD

Things customers ask

Is CBD an aphrodisiac? Does CBD make you horny?

Sorry, but the answer is no! These are just some of the many questions we get about CBD here at Naturally Mignon.

As the use of CBD expands and new uses are discovered, the myriad of health claims often confuses consumers.

While CBD has demonstrated effectiveness in treating topical pain, stress, and anxiety, many claims in the marketplace stretch the truth.

Here are some of the top questions we get.

Does CBD make you last longer?

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the claim that CBD can make a person last longer in bed.

While CBD may have potential benefits for reducing anxiety and stress, which can contribute to sexual dysfunction, there is no direct evidence that it can increase the duration of sexual activity.

How many CBD gummies should I eat?

To determine the appropriate number of CBD gummies to consume, you should consider factors such as your age, weight, and the concentration of CBD in the gummies.

You should also consider the other ingredients. For example, our Naturally Mignon Biotin Gummies have 10mg of the B vitamin biotin in each CBD cube gummies.

Others in the marketplace add melatonin or other supplements. These ingredients need to be considered too.

It’s recommended to consult with a healthcare provider or follow the dosage instructions on the product label.

Can you take CBD oil on a plane?

To determine the legality of carrying CBD oil on a plane, you must consider a few factors, such as the type of CBD oil and the laws of the states or countries involved.

Consider the following when traveling with CBD oil:

  1. CBD products derived from hemp are legal under federal law if they contain less than 0.3% THC. If the CBD oil you intend to bring meets this requirement, you can legally carry it on a plane.
  2. If your doctor has prescribed CBD oil for a medical condition, you may be allowed to carry it on a plane.Before traveling, consult with your healthcare provider and review the guidelines of the airline and TSA.
  3. If you are planning to travel internationally, it’s crucial to research the laws of the countries you will visit regarding CBD. Keep in mind that some countries have strict regulations regarding CBD and may classify it as a controlled substance.
  4. When carrying CBD oil on a plane, it is advisable to pack it in your carry-on luggage rather than your checked baggage. By doing so, you can keep it with you and reduce the risk of losing it or having it confiscated.

Here is a link to an FAA document regarding CBD and travel. It’s a little vague.

Does CBD give you munchies?

No. Cannabidol, or CBD, does not stimulate hunger. The “munchies” are associated with hemp’s cousin, marijuana, as THC stimulates hunger.

Can you smoke CBD oil?

No! It’s highly dangerous to smoke CBD oil and it provides no benefits.

You should take CBD oil orally or apply it topically, but it should not be smoked. When heated, CBD oil can be altered, reducing its effectiveness and producing harmful byproducts.

Additionally, smoking CBD oil droplets or vapors can irritate the lungs and cause respiratory issues.

When is the best time to take CBD oil?

  1. To maintain a consistent level of CBD in your system, it is important to take it consistently and at the same time each day. Taking CBD consistently helps it work best.
  2. If you are taking CBD for a specific symptom or condition, taking it when you experience symptoms can be helpful. For example, taking CBD before bed for sleep issues or before a stressful event for anxiety may be beneficial.
  3. If you are taking CBD for general wellness or as part of your daily routine, taking it at a convenient time can be helpful. For example, taking CBD in the morning or before bed may be a good option to consider.
  4. Experimenting with timing can be helpful in determining the best time to take CBD oil. Some people find that taking CBD oil in the morning helps them start their day off on the right foot, while others prefer taking it in the evening to unwind and relax before bed. Trying different times can help you determine what works best for you.

How to Spot Fake CBD Oil

How to Spot Fake CBD Oil - Naturally Mignon CBD

Do you know how to spot fake CBD oil?

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is turning its attention to stores selling fake CBD products.

The DEA seized thousands of CBD supplements and about $2 million in cash on February 2, 2022 after a raiding CBD and kratom stores in Mississippi and North Carolina.

Biloxi, Mississippi City Councilman Robert Deming owns the stores.

The stores were allegedly selling products that claimed to contain cannabidiol (CBD), but were instead selling products that contained dangerous chemicals.

People with anxiety, pain, and other conditions use CBD. However, there have been problems with fake products containing harmful chemicals or no CBD at all. So, you need to be careful when buying CBD products to make sure they are safe and effective.

How to spot fake CBD oil and CBD products

The DEA raid reminds consumers that they need to be cautious when purchasing CBD products, as not all products are created equal. Here are some tips to help you buy CBD safely:

  1. Look for third-party lab reports: Reputable CBD companies will have their products tested by independent labs, which verify the amount of CBD in the product and ensure that it’s free of contaminants. Be sure to check for a lab report before purchasing a product.

  2. Avoid products with dangerous chemicals: Some fake CBD products contain harmful chemicals, such as pesticides and heavy metals. Be sure to only purchase products that are free of these harmful substances.

  3. Choose products with a clear origin: Make sure the CBD product you’re purchasing is sourced from a reputable grower and processed in a facility that follows good manufacturing practices.

  4. Check the product’s packaging and labeling: Look for accurate information about the product’s ingredients, potency, and dosage.

By following these tips, you can make sure you’re buying a safe and effective CBD product. If you have any questions about a product, be sure to contact the manufacturer or a healthcare professional.

The DEA’s raid on the CBD store reminds us to be careful when buying CBD products. By following the tips we’ve outlined, you can make sure you’re getting a safe and effective product.

Will FDA regulate CBD

Will FDA regulate CBD - Naturally Mignon CBD

Will FDA regulate CBD or kick the can down the road?

The short answer is yes and no.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released guidance on how CBD products should be regulated and critics say they just kicked the can down the proverbial road.

According to the FDA, CBD products are considered to be “drugs” under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and as such, must undergo clinical trials and be approved by the FDA before they can be sold to consumers.

The FDA also stated that it is illegal to sell products containing CBD as dietary supplements.

This FDA also said it wants Congress to ultimately decide on how CBD and other cannabis products are regulated.

“After careful review, the FDA has concluded that a new regulatory pathway for CBD is needed that balances individuals’ desire for access to CBD products w/ the regulatory oversight needed to manage risks. We’re prepared to work w/ Congress on this matter.”

This decision was met with harsh criticism by cannabis industry advocates that were pushing the FDA to regulate CBD as a food and dietary supplement.

“FDA has repeatedly disregarded evidence demonstrating safety that is relevant to CBD at the levels commonly used in supplements and continues to rely heavily on safety concerns related to high dosage Epidiolex to support the agency’s inaction,” said Steve Mister, chief of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a CBD trade group.

Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock, said the FDA will make sure that therapies for serious diseases are studied.

CBD safety

Some people think this decision is necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of CBD products.

CBD is available in a myriad of products: CBD candles, CBD oils, CBD drinks and more.

Overall, the FDA’s decision to regulate CBD as a good step forward for the industry. It’s unclear how this decision will impact the market and the availability of CBD products.

What will Congress do with CBD? No one knows yet. For the time being, people will still have access to safe and effective CBD products.

Can CBD Help with Seasonal Depression?

Can CBD Help with Seasonal Depression? - Naturally Mignon CBD

One frequent question we get is, “Can CBD help with seasonal depression?”

Let’s get into this.

Seasonal depression is a type of depression that can occur at certain times of the year. It’s usually more common in the fall and winter. It can involve feeling low, being tired, and not being interested in things.

Some people are using CBD, or cannabidiol, to help treat anxiety and depression. 

Many studies show that CBD may be helpful in treating symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), such as insomnia and anxiety.

A 2010 study showed that CBD was effective in treating social anxiety. A 2014 study showed that CBD also has antidepressant properties.

Is CBD a depressant or stimulant?

CBD is not a depressant or a stimulant. It is a non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant and does not produce the “high” that marijuana does.

CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating various physiological processes.

One way CBD may help people with SAD is by helping to regulate their body’s natural circadian rhythm. This rhythm is a 24-hour “clock” that controls the sleep-wake cycle and can sometimes lead to feelings of fatigue and low mood.

This can help regulate the circadian rhythm, which can help to improve sleep and reduce symptoms of SAD.

CBD may help to reduce anxiety, which is often a sign of SAD. When anxiety is high, it can make people feel sad and hopeless. By reducing anxiety, CBD may help to improve mood and make people feel happier.

CBD can help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of SAD by increasing the levels of serotonin, which plays a vital role in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite.

Common forms of CBD

  • CBD oil
  • CBD gummies
  • CBD edibles
  • CBD drinks

CBD may be helpful for people with SAD, but it is not a replacement for traditional treatments.

Always talk to a doctor or mental health professional before starting any new treatment.

In conclusion, CBD may be a helpful natural remedy for people who are experiencing seasonal depression.

By regulating the circadian rhythm, reducing anxiety, and increasing serotonin levels, it may help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of SAD.

However, it is not a replacement for professional treatment and it is important to talk to a healthcare professional before using it.

    DIY CBD Bath Bombs

    DIY CBD Bath Bombs - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Sometimes the answer to a stressful day is a long hot bath with a glass of wine.

    Get prepared for your own spa day at home by making your own full spectrum CBD oil bath bombs.

    Creating your own DIY CBD bath bombs is easy and fun, but you may have questions.

    Do CBD bath bombs work?

    According to Dr. Bonni Goldstein,medical director and owner of Cannacenters and author of Cannabis is Medicine “You get in the bath and you hit those cannabinoid receptors in your skin”. A CBD bomb functions very much like other CBD rubs and other topicals.

    What are the benefits of adding a CBD oil bath bomb to your self care routine?

    The fizz of the combination of epsom salt and citric acid create a fun relaxing sensation as well as the aromatherapy from the essential oils. Full spectrum CBD oil in the bath bomb takes it up another notch by providing:

    • Improved mood by serotonin boosting
    • Reduces inflammation
    • Nourishes the skin by reducing redness and irritation
    • Using scents like lavender essential oil induces improved sleep
    • Can help with achy joints and muscles
    • Encourages relaxation

    Can CBD bath bombs get you high?

    The short answer is no but the key factor is the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC ). THC is the natural compound found both in the hemp and marijuana plants associated with getting high. Legal hemp products may only contain 0.3% or less THC, which is typically not enough to get anyone high.

    Chances are, you already have all the ingredients in your cabinet to make your own custom full spectrum CBD oil bath bombs.

    If you don’t have bath bomb molds at home, you can use any silicone baking molds, ice trays or muffin tins.

    Quantity will vary based on the mold you use and potency will vary based upon how many you make. With this recipe, we suggest 3 large bath bombs to equal 200mg of CBD Oil in each bath bomb.  

    Here’s what you need to make your own signature CBD oil bath bomb

    • 1 cup of baking soda 
    • 1/2 cup of citric acid
    • 1/2 cup of epsom salt
    • 1/2 cup of corn starch
    • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, liquified
    • 1 tsp of water
    • 18 ml (or 18 droppers) of full spectrum CBD Oil.  We suggest at minimum using Naturally Mignon Natural 2000mg.
    • 15 drops of the essential oil of your choosing.  This can be adjusted based on how strong or soft a fragrance you prefer.

    Lets make this bomb

    1. Combine baking soda, epsom salt, cornstarch, and citric acid in a medium sized bowl, and mix until consistent.
    2. In another bowl, mix coconut oil, CBD oil, essential oils, and water.
    3. Slowly combine the dry ingredients bowl and the wet ingredients bowl.  Stirring slowly until fully combined. If you do this step too quickly the mixtures will begin to fizz and we don’t want fizzing yet!
    4. Once mixed, press the CBD oil infused bath bomb mixture into your mold.  This should be done right away so the mixture doesn’t dry out.
    5. Have the bath bomb sit in the mold for one hour.
    6. Remove from mold and let cure for 24 hours before enjoying.

    Are You Scentless to Know Which Scent to choose?

    Consider how you want to enhance your bath experiences to decide which essential oil to use.

    Relaxation

    Combine 10 drops of lavender essential oil and 5 of rosemary essential oil.

    Invigorating

    Combine 5 drops of each, Bergamont, Ylang Ylang, and Patchouli oil.

    Clarifying

    Combine 6 drops of rosemary, 6 drops of geranium and 3 drops of tea tree oil.

    Which scent sensation will you make your first CBD oil bath bomb?

    CBD and Alcohol – What are the Effects?

    CBD and Alcohol - What are the Effects? - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Have you ever wondered if it is safe to use both CBD and alcohol? 

    Interestingly enough there are limited studies revealing benefits of combining the two.  

    Why do people use CBD oil and alcohol?  Most like both substances because they help us to relax. 

    A 1979 study in Pscychopharmacology showed that with a 200mg dose of CBD and 1 gram of alcohol per kilogram of body weight caused participants to have increased effects of the alcohol, i.e., they got drunk.

    Here’s the contradiction:  The same 1979 study found the participants who had both alcohol and CBD vs those who only had alcohol had lower blood alcohol counts (BAC) than those who had alcohol alone.  Why is this notable? The higher the BAC the more “drunk” a person is.  It appears that combing the two substances can heighten the effect of the alcohol despite the BAC being lower.

    It’s well understood that too much (some say any amount) of alcohol is detrimental to our health. Everything from poor decision making, heart and liver disease and diminished cognitive ability.

    This is why a 2013 study is so exciting.  In this study, rats that were already neurologically impaired, reduced their brain damage by 49% after applying CBD rub topically to the skin.

    Additionally, a 2014 study on rats taking CBD oil revealed that their livers were protected and their liver cells regenerated faster, resulting in less damaging effects.

    Furthermore, a study on rats addicted to alcohol had less interest in alcohol after taking CBD.

    If you like to drink, keep in mind that the CBD oil may enhance the effects of alcohol while at the same time reducing the negative effects alcohol can have on the body.

    CBD for Sleep

    CBD for Sleep - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Using CBD for sleep may be a good strategy for those suffering from moderate insomnia or have a problem staying asleep.

    Poor sleep quality just doesn’t make you tired or experience a lack of energy.

    It also has a negative effect on your health, such as being more accident prone, less focused (mom brain), assorted heart disease conditions, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke.

    Lack of sleep can also kill your libido and can increase depression symptoms.

    Bottom line: Lack of sleep is no bueno.

    One of the anecdotal benefits of CBD has been to help improve sleep, but how?

    Let’s discuss the anecdotal reasons why.

    The belief is that CBD responds to our endocannabinoid system (ECS).

    Your ECS modulates our circadian rhythms which regulates your sleep and wake cycles.

    Medical science is beginning to study CBD for sleep.

    Early studies have found that it’s effective for anxiety which in turns helps longer sleep durations.

    “To the extent that pain or anxiety interferes with sleep, CBD may facilitate sleep by reducing pain or anxiety, this would be an indirect mechanism,” said Jamie Corroon, ND, MPH, medical advisor at CV Sciences.

    Many CBD oil users report that it helps ease anxiety and relaxes the body, making it easier to fall asleep.

    “This is a staple in my house. It helps with anxiety and allows me to relax and sleep.” Naturally Mignon Customer Christy Ferdon

    “Helps so much with my anxiety during the day and makes it easier to fall asleep at night.” Naturally Mignon Customer Paula Deyette

    It also must be noted that the FDA has not approved CBD as a sleep aid and more studies will continue to be done. 

    The best way for you to decide if CBD for sleep is to try a nightly CBD oil regimen.

    It is best to start out with a higher dose like our 2000mg Naturally Mignon Full Spectrum CBD Oil.

    Combat the Dreaded Winter Rash Dry Skin

    Combat the Dreaded Winter Rash Dry Skin - Naturally Mignon CBD

    Why do I itch so much in the winter?

    Winter is in full effect for many parts of the US and so is the dreaded winter rash or winter itch.

    This time of year many of us get that dry, itchy, red, and scaly skin that ordinary skin lotions can’t treat.

    Winter brings cold, dry air with almost no humidity. When you couple that with the fact we live in heated homes creates the perfect storm for dry skin and winter rash.

    “Think of it as dry air sucking the moisture out of the skin,” said Susan Taylor, MD, Associate Professor of Dermatology at Penn Medicine.

    “It’s that loss of moisture from upper layers of the skin that causes it to dry out.”

    Another key contributor to dry skin is the shower or bath. Hot water strips off the skin’s natural oils and waxes.

    Frequent hand washing and anti-bacterial gels also contribute to dry skin. Detergent hand soaps and chemicals do their job and kill germs. The downside is those chemical are harsh and will also dry out your hands.

    Are you a swimmer? The chemicals in swimming pools also strip out the skin’s oils.

    How CBD affects your skin

    Many cannabis topicals on the market, like Naturally Mignon’s CBD Butter, contain cannabidiol (CBD).

    CBD is easily absorbed through the skin and its effectiveness in treating dry skin conditions is gaining interest in the medical community.

    Cedars-Sinai dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon Dr. Nima Gharavi says using a CBD skin care product may help with treating severely dry skin.

    “However, more studies are needed to see if CBD or other chemical agents found in the cannabis plant directly improve skin quality and have other health benefits,” Dr. Gharavi says.

    “I’d like to see more data on how CBD, in the form of a topical agent, could have promising or comparable anti-inflammatory effects as a steroid.”

    How to treat winter itch

    Ordinary skin lotions are not very effective for severely dry skin conditions such as winter itch. You need something with a little more firepower.

    Products that contain oils and waxes work best. This includes many ointments and body butters like Naturally Mignon’s CBD Body Butter and Full Spectrum CBD Salve ointment.

    Skin products that contain oils and waxes require a little more time to absorb into the skin as compared to a lotion. The feel is more oily, but this provides moisture barrier that lasts far longer than lotion.

    A good technique to use is to pat yourself dry with a towel after a shower or bath. With your skin still moist, apply an intensive moisturizer. This will help the moisturizer trap water in the skin.

    Look for these ingredients in winter itch relief products:

    • Lanolin
    • Beeswax
    • Olive oil, safflower, coconut oil
    • Mineral oil
    • Hyaluronic acid
    • Glycerin
    • Dimethocone
    • Petroleum jelly

    Other tips

    • Limit showers or baths to 5 minutes
    • Use lukewarm water
    • Use a low detergent soap that contains natural oils
    • Pat your skin dry with a towel after shower
    • Apply moisturizer 2 times a day
    • Use a bedroom humidifier at night
    • Try a cannabis topical with CBD

    NFL Awards $1 Million to Study Cannabis and CBD for Pain Management

    NFL Awards $1 Million to Study Cannabis and CBD for Pain Management - Naturally Mignon CBD

    The National Football League (NFL) is awarding $1 million to two teams of researchers to “investigate the effects of cannabinoids on pain management and neuroprotection from concussion in elite football players.”

    The studies will be carried out by medical researchers at the University of California San Diego and University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada.

    The studies are being funded by both the NFL and the NFL Player’s Association (NFL-PA). The studies will look at both CBD and THC in the treatment of pain management.

    This is welcome news for CBD consumers who use CBD for medicinal purposes. Clinical studies like this provide CBD consumers with real world science that help make buying decisions.

    The study will focus on the effects of cannabinoids on pain and recovery from sports-related injuries in elite athletes.

    Researchers will assess the “therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of ∆-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and combined THC/CBD, compared to placebo, for relief of post-competition soft-tissue injury pain in elite athletes.”

    Many NFL players, including Super Bowl Champ Rob Gronkowski, have been using CBD for pain management for years.

    Can CBD and THC help football players recover from severe concussions?

    That’s what the team in Canada will be studying. Concussions in the NFL are a big concern.

    <“An additional goal is to assess the neuroprotective properties of cannabinoids to reduce the incidence or severity of acute and chronic concussion in professional football players.”

    The study will go one step further and determine if CBD and THC is an alternative to opioids.

    “Our research will also work to show that cannabinoids can be used as an alternative to opioids for pain management. Ultimately, this study has the potential to change not only the lives of current and former NFL players, but also the lives of anyone who may suffer from a concussion,” said Dr. Patrick Neary, an exercise physiologist and professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina.

    CBD for Opiate Withdrawal? FDA Approves Trials for CBD Based Treatment

    CBD for Opiate Withdrawal? FDA Approves Trials for CBD Based Treatment - Naturally Mignon CBD

    The ravages of opiate overdoses and deaths is a constantly evolving tragedy in the US that shows no signs of slowing. 

    A Colorado pharmaceutical company is now beginning clinical trials for a drug that uses CBD for opiate withdrawal.

    The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Ananda Scientific approval to begin human trials on a CBD based drug to treat opiate addictions called Nantheia ATL5.

    Using cannabidiol (CBD) for opiate addiction holds some promise as being a viable treatment.

    The clinical trials will determine if theraputic CBD decreases opioid cravings

    The FDA has given Ananda Scientific an “investigational drug designation.” This is the first step in FDA testing. It determines if the drug is safe for humans and achieves some effectiveness and merits further development.

    This means that Nantheia ATL5 is not going to be available to treat opiate addiction anytime soon. The approval process can take years.

    According to the Centers for Disease Control 500,000 people in the US died of opiate overdose since 1999. 

    The CDC says in 2013 a new a wave of opiate deaths began with the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl.

    “The approval of the IND for this important clinical trial is a key milestone for our ongoing research into therapeutic alternatives for opioid use disorder and reversal of the effects of the opioid epidemic,” said Dr. Edthye London, Ph.D, Ananda Scientific.

    CBD for Covid? Study Suggests CBD Prevents COVID Infection

    CBD for Covid? Study Suggests CBD Prevents COVID Infection - Naturally Mignon CBD

    CBD for COVID Vaccine Study

    There is exciting news on how to protect yourself from COVID and it includes use of CBD (cannabidiol).

    A study published in the peer-reviewed science journal Science Advances surveyed 1,212 patients in the US who were prescribed CBD.

    The study found that patients taking 100 milligrams-per-milliliter (mg) oral doses a day of CBD returned positive COVID-19 tests at much lower rates than control groups who did not take CBD.

    It also found found a “significant” negative relationship between CBD consumption and COVID-19 infection.

    The study was conducted by 33 researchers at the University of Louisville and University of Chicago.

    CBD (100 mg/ml oral solution per medical records) had a significant negative association with positive SARS-CoV-2 tests. This study highlights CBD as a potential preventative agent for early-stage SARS-CoV-2 infection and merits future clinical trials. We caution against use of non-medical formulations including edibles, inhalants or topicals as a preventative or treatment therapy at the present time. Science Advances/em>

    “Our results suggest that CBD and its metabolite 7-OH-CBD can block SARS-CoV-2 infection at early and even later stages of infection,” the study states. Science Advances

    CBD is an acronym for the cannabinoid Cannabidiol. This is a non-psychoactive (doesn’t get you high) cannabis compound that is most prevalent in hemp plants. Hemp’s cousin, marijuana, has much lower levels of CBD.

    Scientists involved in the study also conducted lab tests that found CBD inhibited the growth and spread of the virus in the body.

    “As a bottom line, what this says is that CBD has the potential to prevent infections, such as breakthrough infections, which might be one of the most useful applications,” said lead author Dr. Marsha Rosner from the Ben May Department for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago.

    CBD for COVID Vaccine

    Keep in mind, this is a real world study with real world patients. While the study shows great promise for treating CBD for COVID, it must be noted that the study does not say CBD is a replacement for vaccines.

    It instead suggests that a CBD for COVID vaccine combination could be beneficial.

    If you would like to replicate the dosage used in the study, try Naturally Mignon’s 1000mg Pure Colorado CBD Oil and use 1ml (one full dropper) a day.
