Ex-NFL quarterback Carson Palmer has entered into a partnership with a new CBD sports cream brand.

The former Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders, and Arizona Cardinals quarterback is endorsing Kadenwood’s Level Select cream.

He spoke about how CBD keeps him active after he left the injury-intensive sport.

Palmer told MSN: “After playing for 15 years I’ve got a lot of aches and pains and soreness and I’ve also got four young kids chasing around.

“It’s a product that’s helped me to continually be athletic.”

There are three ‘levels’ of the new cream

Numerous former NFL players have spoken about the benefits of CBD.

New England Patriots star Tom Brady says the sport should ‘explore’ CBD as an alternative to opioid pain management.

And two-time Denver Broncos Super Bowl champion Terrell Davis is advocating for the NFL to allow players to use CBD.

Davis, the co-founder of the CBD-infused Defy sports drink brand, told CNBC that CBD is “a beautiful thing”.

He added: “It’s worked for me. It’s worked for a lot of players.”

Kadenwood’s new sports cream is made with a proprietary blend of broad spectrum and nano CBD and comes in three levels of CBD intensity.

Traci Mason, vice president and general manager at Kadenwood, said: “It was important to us to develop a product that would actually make a difference in consumers lives, so we spent a lot of time in the formula development process.

“The result was a really amazing product line that was made even better with the addition of high-quality CBD.”

Kadenwood has also partnered with pro-baseball player Steve Garvey and gold medallist and basketball hall of famer Ann Meyers Drysdale.
