Hemp-CBD product brand CBD Move Free and Rise Nation workout studios have joined forces to produce a new balm that helps Rise Nation clients and workout enthusiasts delay the onset of muscle soreness and exercise-induced muscle damage.

A new product within the CBD Move Free line, the balm is made with 1,500 mg of CBD and was designed with Rise Nation’s high-intensity classes in mind. The product will be sold in the New York City, Dallas, Chicago and Cleveland Rise Nation locations to start, with plans to distribute the balm to the other Rise Nation studios.

The Rise Nation product is available now for purchase directly on the brand’s website, cbdmovefree.com, as well as in Rise Nation’s New York City and Cleveland locations.

“I’ve been using CBD Move Free balms with my clients to help them soothe sore muscles and relieve post-workout inflammation for a while now, so I was eager to work with the team to release a branded product of my own,” said Jason Walsh, expert trainer and owner of Rise Nation. “The Rise Nation experience is unlike anything else in the fitness industry, and adding a specialty product like this to the mix guarantees it will stay that way.”

Hi-Chew is delving into the better-for-you candy space with a brand-new option — reduced sugar.

Available in mango and strawberry flavors, the candy offers consumers 30% less sugar and is made with dietary fiber, or inulin, and other unique formulations to reduce the sugar content while also maintaining the same fruity taste and texture, the company said.

“We’re so thrilled to offer consumers this better-for-you candy choice in two of our most popular flavors,” said Teruhiro (Terry) Kawabe, president and CEO of Morinaga America. “While Hi-Chew reduced sugar has a lower sugar content than our original mango and strawberry chews, we’re confident that consumers will quickly learn that it has the same great flavor experience they’ve grown to love.”

Consumers can find Hi-Chew reduced sugar sweets in a 2-oz. bag that retails for $3.29 at select retailers nationwide.
