Our Story
We created fourfive after both suffering from a string of injuries and discovering the power of CBD in our recovery. As sportsmen we were immediately shown the direction of prescription drugs that had numerous adverse effects on our bodies and minds. We set out to find an effective, natural remedy to our pain and loss of sleep associated with injury and were surprised by the lack of sports trusted CBD products in the UK.
Using CBD had a transformative effect on our injuries, we were able to come off painkillers and continue injury free so we decided to create the UK’s first BSCG and Informed Sport tested CBD and Vitamin nutrition supplements brand. To bring a premium, top quality and trusted health supplement brand to the market that included top quality supplements and CBD. We believe in the power of CBD on your everyday health and wellness, you don’t need to be a top sports professional to feel the benefits of using quality CBD oils, capsules and Vitamins in your everyday routine, but you can trust that we’ve created the very best. After all your body is a temple, let’s not fill it with rubbish.
Is CBD safe?
CBD is considered exceptionally safe and has become a popular mainstream health supplement. We only manufacture to extremely high standards and always verify our cannabinoid profile so that you can trust in the purity, safety and quality of all of our products.
Why do you perform lab tests?
By verifying the cannabinoid content in our products, we can ensure the quality remains consistent. By being independently lab tested it means we are under strict standards of quality. If we say there is 500mg of CBD in a product – we can actually prove it.
Dr Elisabeth
Why we’ve worked with the best
We decided that we only wanted to work with the best experts to make the best products on the market. That’s why we enlisted the help of Dr Elisabeth Philipps, a clinical neuroscientist specialising in the endocannabinoid system. She’s passionate about using nutrition and lifestyle to better support the connections between our guts and brains (the gut-brain axis) and the ECS, as well as supporting a healthy gut microbiome, which contributes to all aspects of our physical and psychological health. She graduated from KCL in 1997 with a BSc in Human Science and Medicine, having specialised in Neuroscience, and took up a research PhD (DPhil) in Neuropharmacology at Oxford University – so she really knows what she’s doing.
