Charlotte, North Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2024) - cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBD-PA) (the "Company"), one of the nation's leading providers of premium cannabidiol (CBD) products, today announced the publication of the Company's human clinical trial data demonstrating the benefits of its proprietary Broad Spectrum CBD blend. The data was published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was completed by researchers at the University of South Carolina to investigate the benefits of daily intake of 100 mg of the Company's Broad Spectrum CBD blend on its potential anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, psychological, and pain-relieving effects in healthy adults over a 12-week period. Key findings include:

• Significant Pain Reduction: Participants consuming 100 mg of cbdMD's Broad Spectrum CBD blend daily for 90 days experienced substantial pain relief compared to the placebo group.

• Improved Psychological Well-being: Male subjects showed notable reductions in "anger-hostility" scores after 60 days of consumption.

• Stress Reduction: Female subjects reported decreased perceived stress levels over the 90-day period of consumption.

Importantly, the study confirms that cbdMD's Broad Spectrum CBD is safe and well-tolerated, aligning with prior toxicity research that validates the safety of consuming 2.29 mg/kg of body weight daily.

A leader in the industry, cbdMD believes the publication of this human clinical data reinforces to its customers, stakeholders, and regulators, the Company's unwavering commitment to science, safety and efficacy. This builds upon the foundation of safety studies cbdMD has contributed to demonstrate the safe level of cannabidiol consumption for humans, underscoring the Company's continued role as a leader in the space.
