In 2019, Rachael Rapinoe and Megan Rapinoe - the former U.S. National Women’s Soccer star, launched Mendi in the U.S. market. The ideation of Mendi started in 2018 when the Farm Bill passed in the US, which legalized the production of hemp. At this time Rachael and Megan both used CBD to mend their injuries and support sports recovery. Both girls are highly involved in athletics and have a scholastic science and health background which they used to develop their products.
The Mendi lineup consists of edibles, gel caps, oil tinctures, and topicals - basically everything you would need to look after your body after a hard day on the pitch. The products are sold for between $25 - $100 USD and contain 300mg - 2000mg of CBD per product.
