Current CBD Product Issues

1

The current method of delivery is oil based for all cannabinoids. This is because they are derivative of the plant. The way the body utilizes these cannabinoids is inefficient.

2Full spectrum oils may offer a benefits in their “entourage effect”, however vary in their makeup from plant to plant and is therefore an inconsistent source of relief.

3

Oil derived CBD’s absorption into the bloodstream will vary from person to person. Dosages must constantly be adjusted for desired effects, making the way that the average consumer ingest cannabinoids unreliable.

4Current methods of delivery of various cannabinoids, CBD, offer low bioavailability and are short lived in the body. These methods are therapeutically unacceptable.

Page 10: Unique Therapeutics

• Increased bioavailability.

• Longer lasting in the body.

• Accurate dosing due to product consistency.

• Full control of chemical make up, 100% THC

free.

• Utilization of industrial hemp allows increased

liberty when dealing with regulatory hurdles.

• Addition of other biomolecules can further

increase bioavailability.

• Addition of additional non polar beneficial biochemicals can increase product impact and

value.

Use of nano lipospheres greatly increases CBD absorption when ingested, with powerful benefits:

Our Technology

We believe that CBD is a powerful tool to help consumers manage and improve both their mental and physical health and well-being.
