About MediPharm Labs’ Formulated Oil Products
All of MediPharm Labs’ high-quality, full-spectrum formulated oil products have a unique flavour profile from naturally occurring cannabis terpenes. The coconut/palm based MCT carrier oil was carefully chosen because of the sustainable practices used in its production from plantation through manufacturing.
Most formulated oil products on the market are either high-CBD, high THC or 1:1 balanced products. MediPharm Labs has formulated a diverse ‘Release Formula’ which is dominated by CBD but also offers a ratio of THC since they are both known to work through different pharmacological mechanisms in the human body1.
“From our dedicated R&D group working under a Health Canada-issued Cannabis Research Licence, to our pharma-quality, GMP-certified production team, MediPharm Labs is dedicated to developing Cannabis finished formulated products that Canadians can count on for all of their medicinal, wellness and adult-use needs,” said Mr. McCutcheon. “We look forward to working alone and in partnership to make Canada the world’s foremost legalized cannabis market.”
