The Player's Club Insider // Fall 2019 HEALtH & FItNESS G olf may not be a high-impact sport, but it takes a toll on the body. Muscles get sore, joints get stiff, and a good night's sleep isn't always possible to help the body re- cuperate. That's where Medterra CBD enters. The Irvine, California- based company, which launched in 2015, offers a full line of CBD products, from topicals to tinctures, that are geared toward helping golfers recover quickly be- tween rounds. CBD (cannabidiol) is a nat- urally occurring compound found in the hemp and mari- juana plant. CBD that is de- rived from industrial hemp, however, has less than 0.3 per- cent of THC, the psychoactive element found in marijuana. Medterra's products have even less: zero percent. In fact, Russell Davidson, VP of Marketing for the Medterra Golf and Sports channels, said they are one of only a handful of companies certified by the US Hemp Authority, the industry's ini- tiative to regulate and set standards. Medterra meets and exceeds all of the strin- gent control processes, en- suring lab-tested, quality, end products. "THC is the compound that can get you high and Medterra removes it during the extraction process," said Davidson. "So if you're wor- ried about THC, you can rest assured that you're safe with Medterra." Medterra's tincture and gel capsule lines are part of a daily regimen. The topical creams provide a rapid cool- ing effect, great for stiff mus- cles and sore joints. While the Wellness+ line, includes CBD Good Morning cap- sules, perfect for those early tee times, and CBD+ Mela- tonin, because every minute counts when it comes to sleep and performance. "CBD is recognized as of- fering a host of benefits from which athletes of all ages can benefit," Davidson said. "As we get older, it's harder to play back-to-back rounds, and a holistic approach to your game can help you play more golf." Currently, the company has two high-profile PGA Tour professionals who sup- port the product – former U.S. Open champ Lucas Glover and four-time PGA winner Charley Hoffman. "At our level everybody is really good and 1 percent of an edge makes a difference," Glover said. "For me the re- covery, after working out, after playing, after travel stems from regulating in- flammation and sleeping well. Medterra CBD has given me a leg up on that which I didn't have before." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > CLICK HERE to learn more.
