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
