CBD stands for cannabidiol, a natural compound extracted from the hemp plant. It can be taken as CBD oil, capsules, or topicals. When ingested, CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate balance and supports overall wellness.

What does CBD help with?

CBD supports the endocannabinoid system, which regulates sleep, immune response, mood, energy, and stress. Many people use CBD for overall wellbeing, while athletes often use it to support sports recovery and daily demands.

No, CBD is not addictive. It does not trigger the dopamine surge that causes cravings, and unlike THC, it does not have intoxicating or euphoric effects.

Does CBD oil get you high?

No, CBD will not make you high. Psychoactive effects are caused by THC, which is tightly regulated in the UK. CBD products help support balance without altering your state of mind.

CBD oils are absorbed quickly when taken under the tongue. Capsules provide a pre-measured dose and are best taken with food. Topical creams and gels can be applied directly to sore muscles and joints for localised benefits.

What product should I use?

The right CBD product depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Options include oils, capsules, and topicals designed for different needs.

Why should you try CBD creams and topicals?

CBD creams and gels provide localised support by interacting with receptors in the skin. They can help ease discomfort, reduce inflammation, and support recovery, making them popular with active individuals.

How does the body absorb CBD?

CBD oil taken under the tongue enters the bloodstream quickly. Capsules are absorbed through the digestive system, leading to slower but longer-lasting effects. Taking capsules with fatty foods improves absorption.

How does CBD make you feel?

CBD does not cause a high. Many users report feeling calmer, more balanced, and better able to manage stress. Effects vary depending on dosage, body weight, and product type.

Is CBD in the UK safe?

CBD products are safe when purchased from reputable brands. Always look for third-party lab reports to confirm quality and safety.

CBD oil vs hemp oil: what’s the difference?

Hemp oil is a nutritional product rich in fatty acids and vitamins, while CBD oil contains cannabinoids that work with the endocannabinoid system to support wellbeing.

What is anxiety and can CBD help?

Anxiety can range from mild unease to severe symptoms. CBD interacts with receptors linked to calming effects, such as serotonin and GABA-A, and may support stress management and sleep quality.

Can CBD help you sleep?

CBD may support the sleep cycle by promoting longer periods of non-REM sleep, helping you fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed, without grogginess.

Is the Pro CBD Oil from fourfive BSCG tested?

Yes, the Pro CBD Oil is certified by the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG). Every batch is tested to ensure it is free from banned substances, making it safe for athletes.

Will taking CBD show up on a drug test?

CBD itself is not banned and generally does not appear on drug tests. The risk comes from products that contain THC, which is why it’s important to buy from reliable brands that provide lab reports.

What is Fourfive CBD Thermal Joint Gel?

Fourfive CBD Thermal Joint Gel is a topical gel designed to support joints, movement, and everyday comfort. It is applied directly to the skin and provides a warming sensation that helps you feel more mobile and supported before or after activity.

What does the thermal effect do?

The warming sensation helps increase blood flow to the area and can make joints feel looser and more comfortable. This makes it useful before activity to help you feel more prepared, or after training to support relaxation.

Does the CBD get into my system?

No. This is a topical product, meaning it works locally where you apply it. The CBD is used to support the area directly rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream like oils or capsules.

Is this good to use before or after training?

Both. Some people use it before training to help joints feel warm and ready to move, while others prefer using it after training to support comfort and recovery.

Will this make me feel hot or uncomfortable?

The warming effect is designed to feel soothing rather than intense. You should feel gentle warmth, not burning. Always start with a small amount to see how your skin responds.

Is CBD Thermal Joint Gel tested?

Yes. Fourfive CBD Thermal Joint Gel is BSCG tested (the gold standard in testing), providing added reassurance around quality and suitability for people who train regularly.

Is it suitable for everyday use?

Yes. It can be used as part of your daily routine whenever joints need a little extra support, whether that is around training or general day to day movement.
