SOLUTION

Our PATENT-PENDING LIPID-BASED DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY FOR EDIBLES allows for maximum absorption of cannabinoids through the convenience of edibles

We combine cannabinoids with

fatty acids at a molecular level

AND use a proprietary process

Flavor masking effects when ingested

4

AND use a proprietary process

for enhanced palatability and

bioabsorption in the intestines

Fatty acids are well absorbed in small intestine

� We are a food biosciences and consumer goods company

� We use our scientifically proven, patent-pending

technology to enable improved intestinal bioabsorption of

cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) and

OUR FOCUS
