Abstract:

Introduction. CBD activates many different receptors in the body and thus has a wide range of effects, including relief from anxiety and depression, sedative effects, a calming and relaxing effect, antipsychotic effects, help with insomnia and relief of chronic pain. Aim of Study. The aim of our work was to determine the effect of the reaction time of an individual depending on a visual stimulus when applying a dietary supplement with a 10% CBD content. Material and Methods. This study addresses the improvement of an individual’s reactivity after ingestion of a food supplement –10% CBD Enecta oil, and whether there is an improvement in reactivity after ingestion. In doing this work we wanted to expand existing studies on food supplements and prove that oil with a 10% content of this substance affects the response time. Results. Between the measured values in SRT (simple reaction time) after ingestion of oil with a 10% CBD content and the placebo, we found that there is no significant difference between them (p = 0.293). For CRT (complex reaction time) we found that there was also no significant difference between the measured values after ingestion of the oil with a 10% CBD content and the placebo (p = 0.057). The results show that there was no significant difference in the reaction time between the measured values of SRT and CRT. Conclusions. We concluded that the dietary supplement from this substance did not prove to be a stimulant when tested for simple and complex reaction times. After ingestion, there was no expected reduction in reaction time in most test subjects. In view of this deduction, we cannot recommend this product as a suitable means for achieving faster or slower responses to a visual stimulus with the help of authorized substances, which could then be used in various sports or in driving.
