FEELING REJUVENATED WITH CBD
Runner's World US|Issue 04, 2023 (Fall)
Life really does fly by. Before I knew it, my 40ish had arrived, and with them came some new gifts from dear ol' Mother Nature- frequent knee pain, stress, low energy and sleeplessness.
FEELING REJUVENATED WITH CBD

Now, I'm a realist about these things, I knew I wasn't going to be young and springy forever. But still, with "middleage" nearly on my doorstep, I couldn't help but feel a little cheated. That is until I found my own secret weapon. Another gift from Mother Nature.

It began a few months back when I was complaining about my joints to my marathon running niece, Jen. She casually mentioned how she uses CBD oil to help with her discomfort. She said that CBD gave her more focus and clarity throughout the day and that her lingering muscle and joint discomfort no longer bothered her. She even felt comfortable signing up for back-to-back marathons two weekends in a row this year.

That made even this self-proclaimed skeptic take notice. But I still had some concerns. According to one study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 70% of CBD products didn't contain the amount of CBD stated on their labels. And, as a consumer, that's terrifying! If I was going to do this, I needed to trust the source through and through. My two-fold research process naturally led me to Zebra CBD.

First, I did a quick online poll-and by that, I mean I posed the CBD question on my Facebook page. Call me old fashioned but I wanted to know if there were people whom I trusted (more than anonymous testimonials) who've had success using CBD besides my niece. That is how I found out that Zebra CBD has a label accuracy guarantee which assures customers like me what is stated on the label is in the product.
