Florida-based medicinal hemp company Avant-Garde Health (AG Health) has announced that former New York Rangers enforcer Dale Purinton has joined the company’s portfolio brand VEDA as Athletic Liason.
AG Health developed VEDA to address endocannabinoid nutrition deficiencies that affect people’s health and wellness worldwide.
The goal of the new partnership is to make cannabidiol (CBD) the first choice for professional and amateur athletes for health, performance, and healing.
“CBD truly gave my life back—I’m a passionate advocate of hemp-based solutions after experiencing the recovery and pain management benefits first-hand,” said Purinton. Having to cope with the pressure and injuries from a career to overcome pain to perform a job at the highest levels leads to serious damage to mental and physical health. Everyone has to manage these things to live a happier and higher quality of life.”
Purinton says that the benefits of CBD have only begun to be discovered when it comes to sports and that the new partnership with VEDA will help raise awareness about important related issues.
Purinton’s former linemate, Marvin Degon IV, who is also the Director of Athletics at AG Health, says that the new partnership brings a level of experience in the athletic world that is hard to come by.
“He’s found success in the hardest arena of sports and brings with him his knowledge and experiences on how to use cannabis as a tool not only for recovery but to improve your overall health,” said Degon. “The personality that he will give to VEDA and the cannabis industry is something that everyone will benefit from.”
Degon says that Purinton is a fierce competitor and an enthusiastic advocate whose voice in the cannabis industry with VEDA’s message will be an outstanding addition to the company.
In addition to the CBD oral sprays, topical products, sublingual oils, and vape pens that VEDA offers, the company is launching a pre-workout hybrid product on September 1.
