CBD GUIDE So, you’ve heard about CBD and you may know that it comes from cannabis. If you are still reading then congratulations because many people only have to see or hear the word ‘cannabis’ before switching off. This is one of the reasons why we at The CANNAVIST Magazine, teamed up with MAN to bring you this essential CBD guide. We want to show you why there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to these three little letters, CBD.

CBD GUIDE
BACK IN THE GAME More and more professional athletes are turning to CBD to help their recovery. FourFive co-founder and professional rugby player George Kruis offers his insight on the trend and advises readers on how to get f it post-lockdown.
Words: Gordon Stribling
The Olympics and Euro 2020 ‘Summer of Sport’ inspired many of us to take up a new sport or get ‘back on the wagon.’ We chatted with rugby pro and FourFive co-founder George Kruis about how athletes are incorporating CBD into their game and asked what the rest of us can do to get back out there.
When did the FourFive journey begin? It was in 2018. Co-founder Dom Day and I both had injuries at around the time that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) took CBD off the banned substance list. We’d seen a lot of interest among athletes in the US and thought it was a good opportunity to explore an alternative method for recovery.
How can CBD f it into an active lifestyle? We just think it's a supplement that people should be regularly taking, very much like vitamin D3. But it’s important that athletes, in particular, know what they are getting. We're very happy with our testing programme. We spent a lot of time and effort making sure that our CBD is spot-on for tested professionals.
Who are some of the athletes signed up with FourFive? We’ve got Paralympian Richard Whitehead, Liverpool goalkeeper Rylee Foster, England rugby international’s Jack Nowell, golfer Leon Fricker and Naomi Broady, a British tennis player. These guys are all on board with our Teamplayers programme, which supplies them with a very good product, but also looks at what we can do for them [in their careers] as well.
10
Aside f rom CBD, what steps can us nonprofessionals take to get back into shape? I've spoken to a fair few people who have done the Couch to 5K challenge. You start off with a 10-minute walk and then build it up as you go. I like that idea of slowly and steadily building a habit. It's got to be something that can turned into a habit rather than 'let's blast it for f ive weeks, get a six pack,' only to end up eating cake a month later.
How important is physical exercise to maintaining good mental health? It’s def initely a balanced lifestyle thing. I'll get very grouchy if I don’t exercise and keeping f it makes me tired at night so I can sleep better. I take a full view approach to my health. I just try to eat a little bit better, do a decent amount of exercise and look at my nutrition.

We want to create a really good product and market it in an honest way because there's a lot of conning going around.

Are your multivitamins just for tested professionals? They are very much geared towards people who are active, but they don’t necessarily have to be professionals. You've got to look at what you can get through your food. That's essential. Research suggests that people should be taking a decent amount of D3. Our trials with athletes and customers show that D3 levels are well below what they need to be. I think you should start on your health and your wellness, tick the big boxes and then really get into

MAN MAGAZINE WINTER 2021/22
CBD GUIDE
Terpenes are found throughout nature, not just in the cannabis plant. Like cannabinoids, some terpenes are believed to have health benefits.

A QUICK GUIDE
to CBD Vaping 22
MAN MAGAZINE WINTER 2021/22
CBD GUIDE
Vaping is one of the most popular ways to consume CBD due to its fast onset. Much like tinctures and edibles, there are countless CBD vaping products on the market. CBD e-liquids come in a massive range of flavours, so there really is something for everyone. There are all kinds of vape devices out there, but they are not all suited to CBD.
RAPID ONSET
POD DEVICES
One of the reasons vaping is so
Vape devices come in all shapes and
popular is how quickly it takes effect.
sizes but probably the most popular in
After inhaling a CBD e-liquid, it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Vaping is the fastest way to consume CBD, though it does have the shortest duration. This makes it ideal for quickly targeting issues such as pain and anxiety as they arise.
2021 is the pod system. Pod systems come with either refillable or pre-filled ‘pods’. If your device requires pre-filled pods, you will only be able to use pods from a single manufacturer. Refillable pod systems give you the freedom to experiment with different CBD e-liquids. These devices are small, easy to use and do not require replacement coils or batteries.
E-LIQUIDS CBD e-liquids typically contain: cannabinoids, flavourings and a carrier solution, usually vegetable glycerin and/or propylene glycol. Like tinctures, CBD e-liquids contain either broad spectrum, full spectrum or isolated CBD. And in recent years, some CBD e-liquid manufacturers have began adding terpenes to achieve certain effects. While CBD isolate e-liquids may produce less of a functional effect, they are much easier on vape coils than broad spectrum or full spectrum.
SAFETY Always make sure that you buy CBD e-liquid, not CBD oil, as CBD oils are not designed with vaping in mind. Oil-based cannabis cartridges are widely available on the black market. Some of these use a different carrier, such as MCT or coconut oil. Lipid oils are potentially incredibly harmful when heated and should never be vaped.
The coil is a heating element that turns an e-liquid into a vapour.

Therefore, Hempura products are 100% traceable from seed to sale, with each batch bearing a unique code and corresponding lab report with accurate product information. This gives confidence to our customers that what is on the label is what is in the product. Many customers soon realise you do not need blockbuster mg amounts of CBD to achieve the benefits. What is important is a high-quality solution made from a
natural hemp extract containing the different hemp compounds and terpenes, which is what our standard premium range provides, and is the difference between our products and others. This is it is recommended people to start low and slowly build up as customers achieve the desired results at low doses if using high quality solutions - as it is almost like a super food oil. It saves money and reduces the ingestion of unnecessary amounts. Every batch produced is sent to an approved third-party laboratory for complete analysis and verification of the lab test results that are conducted internally. Hempura CBD finished products are manufactured in ISO certified facilities in compliance with the strict quality control measures required in the CBD industry.
PUT TO THE TEST “Hempura have really thrown me a lifeline. After searching online endlessly I found Hempura and I decided to give them a go. Thank you for giving me my life back. Very quick delivery, fantastic customer service. I would recommend to anyone.” Hempura products possess full traceability from seed to sale, with each batch being manufactured with its own unique batch code and corresponding lab report. This batch code, also found on the rear of all products, can be easily searched on the online certificates database to prove the legitimacy of every single product. Choose from the likes of CBD oil, capsules, vape liquid, cream, tea and more.

Cola Sparkling CBD Drink £14.49 (6x330ml) Little Rick The branding of this cheeky beverage will be familiar to fans of a certain inter-dimensional animated show.

THE NATURAL WAY TO EASE STRESS WITH HONEY HEAVEN Given the last two years, it’s no surprise rates of reported stress in the UK have risen dramatically. But many people are reluctant to resort to prescribed drugs to deal with the problem, instead, they look to CBD Oil as a natural way to deal with stress, along with other conditions*. Honey Heaven produces a range of Organic CBD oil products which mix full spectrum CBD oil with CBD distillate, (the purest form of CBD), to make the products extra strong. Full spectrum CBD and distillate are much better than simple CBD isolates (which contain 99% CBD and little else) because they retain many other natural cannabinoid compounds found in the Hemp plant. Together these interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system which helps regulate psychological and physiological functions including mood, appetite, sleep, and even pain. This interaction process is known as the ‘entourage effect’ and imparts maximum health benefits to users. Honey Heaven’s CBD products are made in the UK from the highest-quality hemp that is organically and ethically grown by experienced and licensed farmers on outdoor farms in Switzerland. All the products (except their CBD honey) are vegan, and free from artificial colouring, preservatives, flavourings or additives.
These four Honey Heaven products alleviate stress and anxiety, and currently have a special offer - ‘Buy one, Get one Half Price’
Honey Heaven Full Spectrum CBD Extract 10ml boosted with pure CBD Distillate (10%) in four strengths starting at £45 – THE HIGHEST QUALITY CBD OIL ON THE MARKET Honey Heaven’s CBD oils have a herbal taste that gets stronger with concentration. Although the undertongue administration is the fastest way to absorb CBD oil, it can be added to smoothies or foods that are not heated to find the taste that best suits you. Luxury 500mg CBD Massage Oil Botanical Blend 100ml £25 After a workout there’s nothing better to relieve aches & pains than Honey Heaven’s Luxury CBD Massage oil. The combination of CBD with terpenes, found in the botanical extracts, improves recovery time when applied to the stressed areas, joints and muscles while increasing muscle and joint flexibility and improving circulation.
Immunity & Sport Organic Herbal CBD Spray in two strengths 500mg 10ml (£30) or 1000mg 10ml (£50) Honey Heaven Immunity and Sport Organic Herbal CBD Spray features a rejuvenating and health-boosting mix of carefully blended ayurvedic herbs with the highest quality CBD oil. One or two sprays daily will work to support your immune system, increase metabolism and improve your sports recovery time. Vegan, organic CBD Gummy Bears from Honey Heaven £25 per pot Made with natural ingredients and bursting with juicy fruit flavours they taste so good they should be renamed Yummy Bears! Slip them in your pocket for an instant, natural lift, when you need it.
