“CBD helps some people, but its effect is so subtle it can't be pinpointed as having any effect at all... my wife likes CBD when her back is really giving her problems.”

“CBD made me feel fuzzy headed, slowed thoughts/reaction time, more prone to anger/frustration/short temper, and increased anxiety for me. It did kill pain pretty well I have to say.”

What the research says

AResearch: Strong286 meta-analyses · 344 trials on PubMed
Int J Mol Sci · 2022
A 2022 Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Enriched Therapeutic Diets and Nutraceuticals in Canine and Feline Osteoarthritis

Conclusion: The efficacy assessment, associated to the level of quality of each trial, presented an evident clinical analgesic efficacy for omega-3-enriched diets, omega-3 supplements and cannabidiol (to a lesser degree). Our analyses showed a weak efficacy of collagen and a very marked non-effect of chondroitin-glucosamine nutraceuticals, which leads us to recommend that the latter products should no longer be recommended for pain management in canine and feline osteoarthritis.
