You have questions. We have answers.
Below are answers to common CBD and hemp related questions.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the 100+ cannabinoids naturally produced by both hemp and marijuana (both of which are recognized as cannabis). CBD is highly therapeutic, non-addictive, and (despite being extracted from cannabis) is non-intoxicating. Cannabinoids (like CBD) act on receptors found throughout the body, allowing for its scientifically-backed, therapeutic benefits.
Will CBD get me high?
CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning you cannot get stoned or high from using it. Our products are made using broad-spectrum CBD oil, meaning it includes all of the important cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant, except for the intoxicating cannabinoid, THC.
Is CBD legal?
Yes, as of December 2018, hemp-derived CBD is protected under the Farm Bill Act, and legal in all 50 states.
Will I test positive for drugs if I use Rx Sports products?
No. Drug tests check for the presence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a compound in cannabis. Rx Sports products are THC-free, meaning they contain 0% THC (less than 0.3% of THC allowable by law) tested and verified by third party testing.
What are cannabinoids?
There are two different type of cannabinoids. There are endocannabinoids, which are naturally occurring in the human body. And there are phytocannabinoids, which are produced by plants (namely hemp and marijuana). CBD, THC, CBN, and CBG are all examples of phytocannabinoids (often referred to as simply cannabinoids). Cannabinoids are molecules that bind to and activate different receptors in cells.
What are terpenes?
The minuscule glands (or trichomes) of the hemp plant that excrete cannabinoids also produce terpenes., which are what give hemp and marijuana their distinct aromas. They are not exclusively found in cannabis, but can be found throughout nature. In addition to providing cannabis with its unique scent, terpenes also have multiple therapeutic benefits. Research shows that cannabinoids (like CBD) and terpenes have what’s called an “entourage effect”, meaning they are more effective at relieving pain, inflammation, anxiety, and much more when they’re combined than when they are used independently.
Why are terpenes important?
Simply put, terpenes make CBD far more effective in relieving pain, inflammation, and a variety of other ailments.
What is the entourage effect?
The entourage effect is the relationship that naturally exists between cannabinoids and terpenes. It means that no one terpene or cannabinoid is as therapeutic as the sum of their parts. In other words, CBD on its own (as an isolate) is not as therapeutically effective as when combined with other cannabinoids and terpenes.
Can Rx Sports products be considered a medical expense?
CBD products, including Rx Sports, are not typically classified as a medical expense under most insurance plans or IRS guidelines. However, if CBD is used to help with a specific medical condition, it may be considered a medical expense for tax purposes or through certain health savings accounts. Additionally, Medicare recipients may be able to be reimbursed for CBD products. Consult your clinician for details.
Is CBD safe for teens?
The World Health Organization has concluded that CBD is generally safe for teens. However, Rx Sports advises that products not be used under age 14.
Are there any negative side effects of CBD?
Though it’s often well-tolerated, CBD can cause side effects, such as dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, drowsiness and fatigue. CBD can also interact with other medications you’re taking, such as blood thinners. Another cause for concern is the unreliability of the purity and dosage of CBD in products.
How long does it take for CBD to kick in?
When kept under the tongue, tinctures are typically absorbed within 30 seconds, and the effects are felt within 15 minutes. When ingesting CBD (i.e., swallowing it or consuming a food that contains CBD), you can expect to feel the effects within about 45 minutes to two hours. Topicals, when applied to affected areas, tend to provide relief within 3-5 minutes.

As a 50 year old menopausal woman; managing a lot of everyday joint and muscle soreness, Rx Sports Warming has been a go-to.
Chef
Just a short note on the Rx Sports topical and how it has benefited me in dealing with my aching knees. In the short time I've used the topical, my knees felt significantly less pain. The more I used it, the more relief I felt. As a chef of 33 years, it has truly made my work more enjoyable. I've found something that works and I don't plan on stopping. Thank you, Pete
Professional Dancer
After dedicating nearly 50 years to the art form of Dance, from my first steps at age two, to teaching as a university dance professor at 51, the cumulative wear and tear is undeniable. The constant impact on my feet, back and knees, compounded by the shifting landscape of my body and joint pain during my journey through menopause, had become a daily reality. Finding consistent relief felt impossible until I discovered RX Sports. Using the RX Sports ointment has been a genuine game changer. The relief in my feet, back and knees is so noticeable that it allows me to move with a freedom and range that reminds me of my younger self. For any dancer or athlete struggling with chronic pain, I highly recommend trying this product. It truly gave me back my movement and confidence.
I have experienced neurological issues for the past year and a half, one of my symptoms include leg pain and soreness. The only thing that I have found that truly gives me some kind of relief is the Warming Topical Relief. I usually put it on my legs before bed, but it also helps when I have difficulty during the day as well. I've tried a handful of things I've found over the counter, which have not given me any relief from the leg pain. I'm on my second tin of the Warming, and plan to continue using it!

The athletes loved the warming [topical], and I'd like to have it as our current warming topical replacement. I'm looking forward to the cooling to potential replace our existing topical.

My back and knees take a beating. Tried the Rx Sports topical. Best thing I ever did. The pain is not nearly as bad as before. I can walk longer without pain and my range of motion has increased. Best thing I did was try this product. If you want to be pain free, I suggest you try there amazing products. Appreciate it!!!!
Rx Sports topical relief cooling stick was the best for a nagging shoulder pain and bicep soreness from my workouts. I refuse to use pain killers or stuff like that to cope with muscle soreness and joint pain. [Rx Sports] is exactly what I was looking for. Definitely 100% recommend for anyone with joint/muscle pain!
I’ve only been using it for a few weeks but it’s definitely helping me sleep at night with the pain. It's helped me sleep better despite the joint pain I deal with. I like the warming one!
