Arcanum Review
Arcanum Hemp Oil - Product Review
Disclaimer: I received a sample of a few Arcanum Hemp Supplements as a part of Influencer Day at The Running Event (TRE) which I was able to attend as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!
Is it Day 7 already? Today's TRE Product Review is actually an array of CBD recovery products from Arcanum. In our swag bags at TRE, we received three separate recovery products from Arcanum to test. I only recently tried CBD for the first time a few weeks ago but have definitely been taking full advantage of all three of the Arcanum products we received as I've been dealing with a minor injury in my right leg.
The Products
I'll go into more detail for each product we received below, but just to go through the list, we received a sample of the Sarco Breeze Massage Oil, the Sarco Freeze Topical Cooling Action, and a Quill Gel Pen. It's been awesome having a few different options to use throughout different parts of my day depending on what sort of effect I'm looking for.
About Arcanum
Before we dive into the specifics of each product, let's take a look at what exactly happens when you use an activated hemp oil product like Arcanum:
"All Arcanum products use activated hemp oil to supplement your body’s endocannabinoid system with cannabinoids. Our products have been specially formulated by Mary’s Nutritionals to provide healing benefits, alleviate soreness, upregulate cells, increase performance and accelerate recovery. By activating hemp we effectively increase the bioavailability of the cannabinoids, which assists in increasing the therapeutic index of additional performance and recovery ingredients in your Arcanum product."

Arcanum Sarco Breeze Massage Oil
Who doesn't love a good massage, especially after a tough workout? Before testing Arcanum, I'd only ever tried a general-use CBD product and so I'm loving the localized options from Arcanum to treat specific pain or soreness. I'm really enjoying the topical CBD so I can give my legs a quick massage that not only feels great but also works to alleviate some of the inflammation and discomfort in specific spots.
Arcanum Sarco Freeze
Next up is by far my favorite product from the Arcanum lineup, the Sarco Freeze. I like to think of the Sarco Freeze as an amplified version of the Sarco Breeze, it's also for localized use but is focused on more immediate relief. It's loaded with a plethora of soreness-relieving ingredients but my favorite ingredient is actually the added menthol which provides cooling relief within just a few minutes of application.
This has been my go-to, post-run treatment to not only relieve soreness but also to help treat and prevent any further inflammation. Especially the last few days, I've been applying Sarco Freeze to my shin and calf at least twice a day in conjunction with the other Arcanum products.
Arcanum Quill
The Quill is a bit different from the other two Arcanum products in that it's meant for more general use. CBD can be used for more than just relief from specific symptoms but can also be helpful in regulating many of your body's normal functions. By supporting your body's endocannabinoid system, the hemp extract in the Quill is perfect to help you find balance in your day-to-day activities, and I especially enjoy the stress-relieving effects.
The Quill works by giving you a measured dose of hemp extract applied to your wrist which can then be absorbed directly through the skin. I've been using the quill as a daily supplement most mornings before work and then at night before bed to help improve and regulate my sleep.
Final Thoughts
I had been interested in trying CBD products for a while and especially some of the topical options that are available now. Testing a few of Arcanum's products has been great not only to boost my recovery but also to get a sense of how different applications of hemp oil can yield different impacts.
The Sarco Freeze has definitely been my favorite by far, only because of how immediate the cooling relief is although I did learn the hard way how cold it is to apply the cream just before stepping outside into sub-freezing temperatures. It's exciting to see the growth of activated CBD products hitting the market for athletes and I can't wait to see what else Arcanum will have in store in the future.
If you're interested in testing out some CBD products on your own, Arcanum is a great place to start because they have so many options available to try out!
