In this episode, Laura and John from Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals join the podcast to discuss their new line of CBD topicals with Penetrating Topical CBD Phase-change Technology designed to be absorbed rapidly, provide relief and enhance your lifestyle. I enjoyed hearing about how their business got started and the passion this company has for bringing to market products that are first class. They have six different topicals, each infused with 1000 mg of CBD, and dose controlled so a pump delivers 20 mg.
A bit of information how Herb Tech Pharmaceuticals came about: "Our development took a different pathway and having been focused on the pharmaceutical sector, specifically with drug delivery technology, and in fact, working with a specialty pharmaceutical development company in Boston mass that works on transdermal drug delivery technology, thought that the application of principles developed there with that technology could be directly applicable for CBD. One of the big problems obviously with CBD is that if you smoke it with all the problems with COVID-19 and everything else, obviously smoking is harmful to the lungs. If you are ingesting it, the onset of it is terrible and you've got to push the active components through the walls, into your stomach then you have first pass liver first effect and thereafter, in which case it's highly inefficient and can be problematic as well. Topicals and transdermals is could be an interesting pathway, it's safe, but you need technology to be able to get the CBD to the receptors, cannabidiol receptors. And when Laura approached me and said, Gee, is there a way we could use the technology or develop other technology that would allow us to create a company that could effectively create products to have the benefits of the CBD and other botanicals as well, but the advanced technology that allowed the CBD and the botanicals to interact much more efficiently with the human body, that's how our tech was born. We function on the same focus as really a pharmaceutical business, but just applied to CBD in botanicals."
Laura goes on to explain further: "So currently, CBD, there's so many health benefits to it, we all know it. However, the side effects of current delivery methods don't overcome the benefits of the CBD. Smoking, the amount of CBD that's needed to ingest to have an effect, because again, as John mentioned, when your stomach sort of chews up most of the CBD in your stomach, you're actually getting very little into your system. And then there's a side effects of having such a high dose that you're having to take. So there's stomach upset. There's onset of action, it can have effect in 10 minutes, or it can be six hours, right? It's very unpredictable. So those two methods, they weren't efficient and they weren't working. So we said Wow, why can't we take all the wellness of botanicals, not just CBD, all herbal extracts, and really make them more effective, because we all want to use nature. But we have to be able to receive that nature, to receive it safely through the skin, which again, will not happen unless you have some sort of emulsion technology, it will just sit on the outer layer of the skin, that dead skin and it won't have an effect internally. So we're trying to create something that's only effective, but it's safe, and we've priced it so people can afford it. So I'm really excited to introduce this line of products to folks."

Laura continues with a description of their product line: "There are a lot of products out there, one size fits all, take CBD for everything. Herbal extracts can help you in certain lifestyle situations throughout your day. So we created six different need states with other botanicals infused in this delivery system. One is "be sleepy" with...
