Gary Lineker Credits Dragons' Den-Backed CBD Gummies for Erasing Years of Chronic Joint Pain: “One Gummy Took Me Back to My Playing Days”

It remains the highest-rated Dragons' Den episode ever aired in the UK and US combined – over 17 million viewers watched in awe as brilliant Cambridge biochemist Dr. Smith Hargreaves secured a historic £2 million deal from all five Dragons for her breakthrough CBD formula.

But the moment that truly shattered the internet came weeks later. England football legend and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker – who had silently endured crippling joint pain and early osteoarthritis since his playing days – stepped forward as the brand's official global ambassador.

In a video that has now flooded the web with over 70 million views, the former striker for Leicester City, Everton, Barcelona, and Tottenham revealed how Calm X CBD rewrote his daily reality.

“I’ve battled knee and ankle issues for over 20 years,” Lineker confessed. “Multiple surgeries, cortisone injections—the full ordeal. Some mornings, it was liquid fire shooting through my joints just trying to get out of bed. When the Dragons' Den team sent me a bottle to try, I’ll be honest, I thought, ‘Here we go again.’ But one gummy changed everything. It was like someone clicked rewind on my body. The stiffness vanished. Suddenly, I was walking miles with the dog, playing five-a-side with my boys, even commentating on my feet for a full 90 minutes without that constant, grinding ache. For the first time in years, I’m finally sleeping through the night.”

The Science Behind the Revolution

Dr. Hargreaves developed Calm X CBD after witnessing her father, a lifelong amateur footballer, struggle with debilitating post-career arthritis. Refusing to accept that strong opioids or ineffective supplements were the only options, she dedicated years to decoding the body’s endocannabinoid system.

“Most pain relief is just a temporary mask,” explains Hargreaves, who earned her PhD in Neurochemistry at Cambridge. “Calm X CBD is different. It partners with your body’s own regulatory system to target inflammation at its source, restore true joint mobility, and quiet overactive pain signals for good—naturally and without side effects.”

From Skeptical Legend to Passionate Advocate

The Dragons themselves were stunned by the transformative power of a single product:

- Complete elimination of chronic lower-back pain
- Remarkable reversal of wrist and hand stiffness
- Lasting relief from neck and shoulder tension
- Accelerated healing of knee inflammation post-activity
- Dramatic reduction in daily aches and creaks
- Deeper sleep and faster physical recovery
- Radically improved mobility and flexibility
- Made from 100% organic, zero-THC ingredients

Lineker, known for his no-nonsense integrity, admits he only agreed to try the product because of the show's notoriously rigorous vetting process.

“I’ve turned down hundreds of endorsements,” he stated. “But feeling that change within 20 minutes of the first gummy—that was real. I called Smith myself. This isn’t a sponsorship; it’s a solution.”

Demand Goes Into Overdrive

Smith Hargreaves were the first contestants in Dragons' Den history to receive investment offers from all five panel members.

Since Lineker’s powerful testimonial aired, Calm X CBD’s website has repeatedly imploded under unprecedented traffic. The entire UK stock vanished in under four minutes, with the next batch selling out in a mere nine hours.

Doctors and physiotherapists working with retired athletes now report a flood of desperate enquiries from former players suffering the same long-term joint damage—all seeking the relief that found Gary Lineker.

As one leading sports medicine specialist put it: “If it’s good enough for Gary Lineker – a man who’s tried every treatment under the sun – then it’s certainly worth a look.”

Your Chance to Live Pain-Free is Now

Smith Hargreaves has officially launched the re-branded Calm X CBD across the United Kingdom.

To celebrate the launch and fulfill their mission of ending chronic pain, the company is offering a limited-time 50% discount on first-time orders. However, this offer is only valid while supplies last, and given the current demand, they are not expected to last the week.

In order to test validity of Smith's product, the show decided to take a volunteer from their production crews. Meet Kathy Rhodes, a 54 year old mother of 3 who jumped at the chance to test this product.

Kathy is a 54 year old, who had been struggling with horrible pain for over 11 years. We had to wait 2 weeks before we got a bottle to test as it was sold out almost everywhere we looked. We had her track her progress for the 14 days test.

What were the results?

Day 1

I took two gummies and forgot all about the pain. About 1-2 hour later I started to strangely feel better. I can only describe it by saying that it was easier to think somehow. I was walking inside a shopping mall and usually I would have been feeling fatigued, thinking about taking those awful drugs, and would have had terrible pain by that point, but I was absolutely fine. For a moment it felt like I never had any pain. It was a hopeful feeling and I became really curious for what would happen next - it was awesome.

Day 5

“Over the course of the next 5 days I started to feel better and better! I found myself bouncing out of bed and felt ready to take on the day - usually I need to hit the snooze button at least a couple times. I felt motivation like I had not felt in years. I had higher levels of energy constantly, rather than the ups and downs I was used to. I had also been able to sleep all night long! I was shocked at the drastic results.”

Day 14

“After 14 days, not only had all my doubts and skepticism absolutely vanished - My Chronic Pain was completely gone and so were the headaches, weakness etc. I had no idea natural CBD Gummies could make this big of a positive difference in how I felt. I am so grateful to Smith for sharing his incredible research with us and to give Calm X CBD a try!”

What Rugby Star Jonny Wilkinson Has To Say About Calm X CBD! !

Jonny Wilkinson, a legendary rugby athlete, has been struggling with arthritis pain for years. He attributes his condition to his physically demanding rugby career and lack of proper self-care. Jonny decided to try Calm X CBD, a supplement known for its anti-inflammatory properties.

"I was skeptical at first, but I was willing to try anything to ease the constant pain in my joints," said Jonny. "After taking Calm X CBD for just a few weeks, I started to notice a significant improvement in my mobility and a decrease in my pain levels."

"I take one pill every morning, and it's become a natural part of my day," he explained. "I highly recommend Calm X CBD to anyone struggling with arthritis pain. It's made a real difference in my life."

Will This Work For You?

Using Smith Hargreaves's miracle pain relief formula, my chronic pain was completely gone — and I’m not alone. When Gary Lineker shared how he tossed his prescription meds after one gummy, our medical team had to investigate. What we found shocked even our skeptics: In BBC’ clinical trial, 93% of users reported pain relief within 30 minutes. "It’s like Gary said — you either play through the pain or find a real solution. This is the solution," admitted our lead researcher.

There are countless cannabis gimmicks out there, but as Lineker’ physio told us: "This isn’t some putting-green placebo. It’s the real driver." When we tested Calm X CBD in our labs, the results mirrored Gary’s comeback timeline — nerve inflammation markers dropped 62% in 3 weeks.

IMPORTANT UPDATE !

Gary’s deal unlocked an exclusive perk: To celebrate his ambassadorship, Calm X CBD are offering 50% off for first-time buyers — but only until !
