YOUR QUESTIONS
What is CBD ?
Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a plant chemical compound found in cannabis plants.
This is different from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound in marijuana that is intoxicating and produces a mental high.
CBD cannot give you psychoactive effects since most CBD products on the French market contain less than 0.2% THC, while our products are certified 0% THC.
How does CBD work in the body?
Everyone has an endocannabinoid system in their body. CBD (and all other cannabinoids) affects this endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate functions like pain, stress, and sleep. Often our endocannabinoid system becomes fatigued due to external (and internal) imbalances. Massaging the body parts that need to be treated with our naturally CBD-containing Body Balm helps get your body where it needs to be to enjoy life. By promoting better recovery after physical activity, we believe it is possible to discover an unstoppable version of yourself to help you experience less pain, better sleep and a better quality of life, so you can do more of the things you love, with the people you love.
As an athlete, can I use CBD ?
Yes, you can use CBD as a professional or amateur athlete. In fact, many professional athletes have embraced the benefits of CBD and use it regularly in their recovery protocol.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has removed CBD (cannabidiol) from its list of banned substances. You can find more information on the subject by visiting the AMA website here.
Use of CBD products is at the athlete's risk, but we certify that our products contain 0% THC.
Is there any scientific literature on CBD ?
Yes. Here are some scientific studies on the effects of CBD :
Hammell DC, Zhang LP, Ma F, Abshire SM, McIlwrath SL, Stinchcomb AL, Westlund KN. Le cannabidiol transdermique réduit l'inflammation et les comportements liés à la douleur dans un modèle d'arthrite chez le rat.
Russo EB. Cannabinoïdes dans la gestion de la douleur difficile à traiter.
Do you deliver outside France ?
Yes. We ship throughout the European Union.
For any international shipping requests, do not hesitate to contact us at info@thealphaparis.com.
What is your return policy ?
We unfortunately do not accept returns for hygiene reasons, as we do not use seals on our products to reduce the amount of non-recyclable plastic waste. It is the customer's responsibility to check the product description, including the full list of ingredients, safety information and instructions for use before purchasing.
We would also like to mention that there is a normal delay in using CBD and feeling the benefits and it may take time, depending on the individual, for the body to fully benefit from the effects of CBD. We therefore encourage you to take the time to use the product, adjusting the frequencies and times of the day to find what suits you best.
Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase only if a product is classified as defective or arrived damaged. Please contact our customer service team info@thealphaparis.com if you have any further questions and we will be happy to help!
How can I cancel an order ?
Unfortunately, we cannot cancel orders once they have been placed.
If you need to modify your order before it ships, please email our team at info@thealphaparis.com. Although we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make changes to your order before it ships, we will do our best. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes.
