Game ON

Depending on the sport you play or type of exercise you enjoy, the winter months may be a time of rest and relaxation. However, once the cold days are over and springtime arrives, many athletes are awoken from hibernation and return to their game.

Often coinciding with the return of the spring sports season are accidental injuries. Whether that be muscle soreness, swelling or even sprains, there are a variety of ways in which an athlete, seasoned or not, can hurt themselves. While injury severity differs from person to person, more often than not, they can be treated.

Perhaps you have heard of the RICE method - rest, ice, compression and elevation. “This treatment method is helpful for mild sports injuries,” Healthline said. “For best results, follow the RICE method within the first 24 to 36 hours after the injury. It can help reduce swelling and prevent additional pain and bruising in the early days after a sports injury (Healthline).”

Although these seemingly simple efforts may be beneficial, there’s another treatment method that may seem to be overlooked, or perhaps one you’ve never considered: cannabis.

Across Massachusetts, there are countless dispensaries that offer a variety of products to be used for multiple reasons. However, if you’re an athlete and looking for a wellness line that can assist you in getting back to your full potential this spring season, Trulieve in Northampton has exactly what you’re looking for.

At Trulieve, Jamie Banks, marketing manager, said they have a fairly new product that is perfect for an athlete, who of course is over the age of 21, called “Momenta.”

Momenta is “natural wellness for the mind, body and spirit,” Banks explained. “[It’s] a staple for everyday wellness,” she continued.

By making Momenta a part of your daily and nightly ritual, Banks said it will enhance your overall connection to your mind, body and spirit, and enjoy “more blissful days,” because of it - including all of the exercise that your body might endure.

This brand offers capsules, tinctures, RSO, topicals, and CBD/THC ratio products.

“[This is] Trulieve’s staple cannabis line for everyday wellness and overall well-being,” said Banks. “The product lineup includes tinctures, nano tinctures, capsules, RSO and a topical muscle gel.”

She went on to say, “Momenta takes a modernized approach to holistic wellness by empowering personal progress

every step of the way on your wellness journey.”

Some of the features and benefits to this product is that it is non-psychoactive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-anxiety, anti-convulsant, relief from tension and pressure; localized pain, controlled dosing and options for day or nighttime use.

Banks explained the ratio product as, “the higher the ratio of CBD to THC, the less psychoactive [it is] due to CBD modulating THC psychoactive effects. Momenta has a $50 price point. Although this product is still relatively new, Banks said they are “thrilled” to be offering this at Trulieve.

She shared that they have an athlete who will be running in the upcoming Boston Marathon, also serving as a spokesperson for them and their product.

“He will be using [Momenta] before, during and post run … helping with recovery,” said Banks.

Once the marathon is over, Banks said they will be able to have a better understanding of the true benefits to their new product.

Trulieve plans to release additional information on this partnership soon.
