Ltd () has met another milestone, as it launched the first of its '420 Therapeutics' brand of Cannabis wellness products - Hemp oil gel capsules.
Each capsule contains 50 milligrams (mg) of purified hemp seed oil extracted from cannabis sativa and suspended in coconut oil. Hemp oil is supposed to have health benefits.
"We are excited to announce the launch of Hemp Oil Gel Capsules, which are the first in our innovative line of 420 Therapeutics products," said Jeffrey Renwick, chief executive at Canntab.
"We intend to release additional exciting formulations that combine natural, hemp-based cannabidiol with a range of healthy ingredients.
"This is only the first step in realizing Canntab's goal of becoming a leading provider of cannabis oral dosage formulations."
Antioxidants
Ingredients within the capsules have been linked to the following benefits: Antioxidants are said to help protect the body's cells and shield it from the oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
Coconut oil contains Lauric acid that is proven to be effective at killing bacteria, fungi and certain viruses, while capric acid and medium triglycerides help increase the body's energy expenditure for weight control and also help to build muscle.
"All of our 420 Therapeutics products will use state of the art tamper-proof blister packaging, which allows us to avoid the leakage that often occurs when capsules are kept in large bottles, since the capsules kept in bottles frequently bounce off one another and become damaged," said Richard Goldstein, finance chief at Canntab.
"Our packaging keeps the underlying product intact, and provides for discretionary and safe consumption of one capsule at a time."
420 Therapeutics Inc is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canntab created to meet the growing desire for adult use cannabis products that are of high quality, but without the negative effects associated with smoking marijuana.
