Summary

This study tests whether a daily broad-spectrum cannabinoid capsule can protect the brain and speed recovery from concussion in healthy male athletes who play contact sports. Participants take either the active capsule or a placebo twice daily, and researchers measure brain blood flow, inflammation markers, and concussion rates. The goal is to see if this natural compound can reduce injury and support brain health during high-impact competition.
