Greg Norman today announced the launch of his exclusive new line of CBD-infused wellness and recovery products geared towards men and women who lead an active lifestyle. The initial limited supply is now available via www.gregnormancbd.com, with a full rollout planned for early 2020.

The Greg Norman products are made with CBD (cannabidiol) derived from hemp combined with a variety of natural Australian ingredients such as Tasmanian blue gum for soothing relief, Kunzea oil for sore muscle relief and Australian Sea Salt for total body relaxation.

The products are uniquely developed with one-of-a-kind formulations and specifically curated for active adults and athletes who require fast, effective relief for their stiff and overworked muscles.

“I played professional golf for 40 years and continue to lead an extremely active lifestyle. Hitting millions of golf balls in a lifetime can – and will – cause strain and injury on anyone’s body, despite their age or physical wellbeing,” said Norman.

“Wellness is a pillar in my life and I believe that the health benefits of my CBD products, cultivated from top-quality ingredients found in my birthplace of Australia, will benefit those who spend time on the golf course and anyone committed to prioritising self-care.”

The Greg Norman line includes a soothing Warm-Up Muscle Rub (250 mg CBD), an Invigorating Cool-Down Muscle Gel (500 mg CBD), and Revitalising Muscle Soak (250 mg CBD) for recovery.  The Greg Norman line also contains a supply of soothing face care products to help reduce irritation and keep skin hydrated as well as body care products with fast-absorbing ingredients that lock in moisture.

“Athletes are demanding relief so they can always perform their best,” said Peter Horvath, CEO of Green Growth Brands. “Greg was the perfect athlete to collaborate with on this product line, he has a clear vision when it comes to the future of CBD and sports. We are excited for the response to the initial launch and are thrilled for the full rollout early next year.”

The Greg Norman line is 100 percent hemp-derived, paraben-free, cruelty-free and made in the USA. These are the first products to be released through the licensing partnership between GGB Beauty LLC, a subsidiary of Green Growth Brands (GGB) (CSE: GGB OTCQB: GGBXF) and Authentic Brands Group (ABG), the co-owner of Greg Norman.

 

Getting CBD in Australia

Before you go leaping off the couch and heading for your local Chemist Warehouse or Chemmart, be aware that it’s not an easy purchase in Australia. Yet. Right now, the only way to get your hands on CBD legally here is through the government-approved access pathway, the Special Access Scheme. That’s the scheme that provides patients access to drugs that aren’t approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.

While you can illegally purchase CBD online, there is a big difference in quality depending on the seller.

“Recent research found many CBD oils sold online had less or much more than the amount of CBD in the product indicated by the label, or even contained undeclared traces of THC,” accredited practising dietician Bronwen Greenfield told goodfood.com.au in September.“There are currently no regulations in place for producing, testing or labelling CBD products, so it’s difficult to know what you’re actually paying for.”
