Charlotte's Web has been announced as the Official CBD of Major League Baseball thanks to its NSF Certified for Sport certification, which is what supported the partnership between the brands.
The partnership is a multi-year initiative that is hoped to expand the visibility of CBD for professional athletes, but also fans and sports communities alike. The partnership comes as a first of its kind initiative that will see the brand's CBD oil emblazoned with the MLB logo to make it instantly recognizable on store shelves.
MLB Chief Revenue Officer Noah Garden spoke on the partnership saying, "Charlotte's Web products which receive the NSF Certified for Sport designation have met the highest safety standards and can be promoted across MLB events and media platforms. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership offers as CBD becomes a more widely adopted part of the health and wellness regimen of our players and fans."
