CBD is already world-famous for its anti-seizure, anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties but now new research suggests it may contribute to weight loss also.
Research has shown that animals who took CBD had a significant reduction in weight loss compared to placebo groups.
This would, of course, need to be replicated in human trials but while waiting on that to happen, why not have a CBD smoothie and find out for yourself?
The Goodness of Smoothies
Smoothies are perfect for helping you lose weight as you control exactly what ingredients go into them. Low-calorie, ultra-nutritious, delicious smoothies infused with the power of potent cannabidiol are only minutes away.
Add Superfoods
Superfoods are an ideal ingredient for weight loss smoothies as not only are they low in calories but they are packed full of nutritionally dense wholesome goodness.
