Okay technically CBD isn’t really a supplement per se, but this felt like the most appropriate sub-forum to post this.
A whopping 150mg’s of CBD post workout, 24hrs after, and 48hrs after was not able to assist with perceived muscle recovery. For those that have used CBD, you’ll quickly recognize that this is a pretty big dose.
Let’s not jump the gun, though. We’re looking at a small sample size and for a short duration. We’re also looking at untrained individuals. Most people on this forum probably don’t fit into the untrained category. Part of CBD’s potential effects are as an anti inflammatory, therefore immediately post workout wasn’t probably optimal. Lastly, this is CBD isolate, as opposed to a more full spectrum. There is potentially benefits to a Cannabinoid entourage effect, where the other Cannabinoids support CBD’s effects.

“Abstract
No previous study has investigated the applications of isolated cannabidiol (CBD) as a recovery aid in untrained human subjects after a bout of exercise-induced muscle damage.
Purpose
to investigate the effect of cannabidiol (CBD) oil on perceived muscle soreness, inflammation, and strength performance after eccentric exercise (ECC) of the elbow flexors.
Methods
Thirteen untrained men (mean ±SD age: 21.85±2.73a) performed 6 sets of 10 maximal ECC isokinetic muscle actions of the elbow flexors as part of a double-blind cross-over design. Non-invasive (perceived soreness, arm circumference, hanging joint angle (JA), and peak torque (PT)) measures were taken PRE-, POST-, 24-h, 48-h, and 72-h post ECC. All subjects completed both the supplement (CBD:150 mg POST, 24-h,48-h) and placebo (PLC: POST, 24-h,48-h) condition separated by 2 weeks. Four separate two-way repeated measures ANOVAs (condition [CBD vs. PLC] x time [PREvs.POSTvs.24hvs.48hvs.72h]) were used to analyze perceived soreness, arm circumference, JA, and PT. One-way repeated measures ANOVAs were used to decompose significant interactions and main effects.
Results
There was no condition x time interaction or main effect of condition (p>0.05) for perceived soreness, arm circumference, JA, or PT. There were main effects for time for perceived soreness (p=0.000,ηp2=0.71) and JA (p=0.006, ηp2=0.35).
Conclusion
The current dose of 150 mg CBD oil at POST, 24-h, and 48-h had no effect on non-invasive markers of muscle-damage in the upper extremity. At the current dose and schedule, CBD oil may not be beneficial for untrained men as a recovery aid after exercise-induced muscle damage.”
