Applied BioPharma

The Applied BioPharma business unit is focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat serious diseases by leveraging industry leading pipeline of endocannabinoid system-targeted drug candidates.

The Company is actively seeking in-license opportunities with the goal of developing an industry leading pipeline of endocannabinoid system-targeted drug candidates that address significant unmet needs across a wide range of therapeutic areas. The Applied management team expects to announce at least one in-licensing agreement before year end.

Applied Products

The Applied Products business unit currently consists of eight different brands of hemp-derived, THC-free, pharmaceutical grade CBD isolates and distribution products, all of which ship to the majority of U.S., as well as to multiple non-US countries. The Company’s portfolio currently includes consumer, animal health, women’s health and sports medicine products.

Applied Products operates under a differentiated approach to quality and regulatory practices within the industry, which it believes well-positions them to be leaders in the market and access the significant opportunity for revenue generation. All CBD products utilize the most proven and effective production methods to ensure the highest quality output. The Company’s Full Spectrum products are made using CO2 Extraction, which allows for the proper retention of cannabinoids and terpenes vs a distillate, and a winterization process. Applied’s THC Free products are CBD Isolate infused. This isolation process leaves behind pure pharmaceutical grade CBD only, ensuring the highest quality is achieved. Additionally, the Company’s Nano CBD Isolate products use a specialized Nano-Particulizer, a process which creates a pure nano-molecule.

“The CBD industry continues to be of great interest among the medical and investment community. We have seen rapid growth and continue to witness advancements in the space, however current products on the market are not high quality or are not actually what the label claims them to be. Our team sees room for significant improvement and believe we have a competitive advantage by offering high-quality products through our differentiated approach,” said Scott Stevens, Founder and Chairman of the Board.
