Panacea Announces Launch of New Product COVID CBDA(TM)
Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:PLSH) has launched a new immunity-enhancing product, COVID CBDA™, aimed at combating COVID-19. A recent study by Oregon State University suggested that cannabinoids CBDA and CBGA may inhibit the virus's ability to infect human cells. The product is designed to provide a natural alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals and contains additional immunity-boosting ingredients. The company aims to enhance its research efforts and conduct further human clinical trials, emphasizing its commitment to developing cannabinoid-based health solutions.
- Launch of COVID CBDA™ product aimed at enhancing immunity against COVID-19.
- Study suggests cannabinoids CBDA and CBGA may effectively inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Potential for further research and human clinical trials to validate product effectiveness.
- Established track record in developing high-quality hemp-extracted cannabinoid products since 2017.
- The study conducted was laboratory-based without human trials, limiting immediate applicability.
- There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with the product's compliance with FDA regulations.
"Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2" the researchers stated in the published study.
GOLDEN, CO / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2022 / Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:PLSH) ("Panacea" or the "Company"), a Colorado, USA-based cannabinoid research-focused company providing natural, non-habit-forming health and wellness products as an alternative to Big Pharma product offerings, is pleased to announce the launching of its immunity-boosting product, COVID CBDA™.
A recent laboratory study executed by Oregon State University (OSU) - which did not involve any human trials - found that the cannabinoids cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), which are present in industrial hemp (scientifically known as Cannabis sativa L), have shown the ability to bind to COVID-19 proteins and inhibit the virus from entering or infecting human cells. Lead researcher Richard van Breemen and his colleagues found that when the pair of cannabinoids bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, they can block the protein from binding to human cells, thus inhibiting the ability of COVID-19 to infect humans. The spike protein is the target for antibody therapies, and this inhibition method is used to develop vaccines.
In OSU's newsroom article, van Breemen explained, "These cannabinoid acids are abundant in hemp and in many hemp extracts. They are not controlled substances like THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and have a good safety profile in humans. Our research showed the hemp compounds were equally effective against variants of SARS-CoV-2, including the Delta variant, which was first detected in the United Kingdom, and the Omnicron variant, first detected in South Africa."
According to Panacea's Chief Science Officer, James Baumgartner, Ph.D., "Panacea's new COVID CBDA™ product contains a significant amount of these COVID-19 blocking cannabinoids, along with additional immunity-building ingredients to give our customers a fighting chance against COVID-19. The new information discovered in this study is encouraging and paramount for Panacea. As a leading cannabinoid research company, our goal to conduct further research and studies that can impact the medical community is a top priority."
Panacea, along with its team of scientists at their Cannabinoid Research Center at Colorado State University, are eager to expand on this research as soon as possible. "Our Panacea research center at CSU is well-suited to further the research on this promising news and expand it to further human clinical studies. There are over 115 cannabinoids in the hemp plant, and we are just scratching the surface of what this natural plant can offer mankind." noted CSU's Lead Scientist, Melissa Reynolds, Ph.D.
Panacea's team of scientists and chemists have been developing the highest quality hemp-extracted cannabinoid products since 2017. "With our vertically integrated business model and Colorado State University Cannabinoid Research Center, Panacea has laid the groundwork to be a world class cannabinoid company," commented Leslie Buttorff, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Panacea. "Our mission to provide natural alternatives welcomes news such as this and hope our COVID CBDA™ is an affordable, game-changing product."
