Evo Hemp, a leading CBD & hemp food company based in Boulder, Colorado, is excited to announce a new partnership with Ryan Bader, an American mixed martial artist who is currently both the Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion of Bellator MMA. Bader has been one of the top 10 MMA fighters in the world in both divisions since 2014.
One of the benefits of CBD, the non-psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, is its potential to manage pain. This has given rise to a new crop of unlikely cannabis advocates like Bader, professional golfer Bubba Watson, and former NBA all-star Paul Pierce, who all know what it’s like to overcome pain and perform at the highest level.
“Excited to partner with @evohemp,” said Bader on Twitter. “I use CBD everyday to keep my body and brain healthy and their stuff is top notch.”
In 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency removed CBD from its list of banned substances. Dozens of current and former pro athletes have publicly come out in support of further clinical testing and full access to CBD.
“Athletes like Ryan who work in punishing physical conditions are seeking relief and we are happy to be a part of the solution,” said Ari Sherman, CEO of Evo Hemp. “Ryan, who has won seven straight fights and has a big one coming up against Cheick Kongo on September 7th, is one of the best MMA fighters in the world. When we partnered with him in early July our social media blew up within 48 hours.”
Bader will be taking over Evo Hemp’s Instagram page on a monthly basis, demonstrating how he uses the company’s products to supplement his workouts and recovery.
In addition to partnering with Bader, Evo Hemp has new brand partnerships with Honeydrop Lemonade, The Feels Carob Bites, Forest Cold Brew Coffee, and Defiance Fuel Water. Each product includes Evo Hemp’s full-spectrum hemp extracts in a liquid and powder form.
Evo Hemp also recently announced a new line of CBD-infused body care line consisting of creams, balms, roll-ons and lip balms. The line contains Evo Hemp’s Indigenous Botanical Blend of organically-grown hemp extract cultivated by Native Americans. The company has also unveiled a new line of CBD-infused food products that include hemp hearts, hemp protein, hemp seed oil, hemp bars and more. Each product provides the nutritional benefits of hemp seeds with 15 mg of full spectrum hemp extract per serving.
“The goal is to combine our indigenous hemp extracts with our favorite products and brands,” said Sherman. “This will help grow our mission of providing high-paying agricultural jobs to Native American tribes.”
