Elevate CBD
Americans are notable for always wanting to
elevate their experiences --
and now they can, naturally and safely.
Elevate CBD is the newest line of products from Axcentria Pharmaceuticals, LLC. The company
says it has garnered its pharmaceutical quality standards “and pivoted into offering innovative
products for Millennials as well as other early adopters seeking healthier lifestyles and alternatives
to pharmaceutical drugs.”
Elevate CBD products are available in a variety of forms for every occasion,
demographic and its marketplace is diverse.
* For on-the-go individuals, there are portable, discreet product forms in a variety of flavors: an
oral spray, a dissolvable strip, a lozenge and chewing gum.
* For leisure use,
there are e-liquids to be used for vaping or as an additive to food products like
coffee or tea as well as a dab (straight CBD oil/wax) that can be placed directly in the mouth or
placed on the user’s preferred vaping device’s heating element.
The company’s products are part of a growing category of individuals looking for natural alternatives
to live a healthy lifestyle. Offered at affordable cost to the consumer, the products still offer
the distributor and retailer competitive margins.
Simply Natural
“Simply put,” explains David Simpson, VP of Business Development “CBD and any associated effects or benefits -- especially those looking for a ‘high’ or an immediate ‘effect’ -- are not to be confused with what has commonly been called ‘weed’ or ‘pot.’” CBD is a cannabinoid extracted from industrial hemp plants and has existed for over 4,000 years. It is a totally natural, non-psychoactive component of the industrial hemp plant and one among more than 80 active cannabinoids and terpenoids that affect different brain and immune receptors, referred to as CB1 and CB2 receptors, within the body’s endocannabinoid system. “Even the plants are different,” says Simpson, “with Cannabis Sativa (a primary source of CBD) growing tall at 10 to 15 feet, with fibrous stalks producing very few flowering buds (the plant looks like bamboo shoots), and Cannabis Indica, the primary source of marijuana, being the traditional short, bushy leaf plant.”
The cannabinoids and terpenes, Simpson continues,
are believed to have significant therapeutic
potential and offer a natural alternative to pharmaceutical
drugs addressing a vast range of ailments
and diseases.
The findings of many independent research studies
indicate CBD may be the most important cannabinoid,
offering users numerous potential health and
behavioral benefits, but results of its use vary widely
according to individuals. Company executives encourage
customers to do their own research and determine
whether CBD is appropriate for them.
Vast amounts of research are being conducted to
validate benefits associated with the use of CBD
and inflammation, pain management, anxiety and
stress and other common ailments, he notes. “However,
it should be noted the U.S. FDA has not approved
any therapeutic claims, although there is a
patent held by the U.S. government as an antioxidant
and neuroprotectant: Patent# US 6,630,507 B1
(October 7, 2003). It is also known and recognized
that CBD is rich in essential Omega 3 fatty acids
and amino acids.”
In fact, industrial Hemp, the source of CBD, has
been one of the most persecuted agricultural crops
in history due to its association with cannabis,
Simpson claims. “This confusion led to prohibition
of cultivating hemp in the Unites States until 2014,
and confusion remains.”
Local and state jurisdictions may prevent the sale of
CBD products, although federal prohibitions have
been eliminated. Hemp, up until the early 1800s,
was the largest industrial crop in the United States.
Says Simpson, “It was bigger than cotton at one
point, used in clothing, rope, homeopathic medicines,
and is still used internationally in a variety of
industries – even in the automobile industry for its
strength yet light-weight features.”
HIGHEST STANDARDS
Elevate CBD products are manufactured to the
highest standards, which is important since not
all commercially available CBD products are. “The
FDA has issued dozens of warning letters citing
many CBD products are mislabeled (not containing
the stated level of CBD or no CBD at all) and
making medical or supplemental claims that are
not validated,” says Simpson.
Elevate CBD is manufactured in a cGMP facility
registered with the Food and Drug Administration.
Every ingredient is tested to ensure strength and
that there are no contamination from pesticides
or other materials such as heavy metals. The CBD
used is from international sources and is extracted
using a solvent-free CO2 process. Finished products
are tested to ensure that there are no microbial
contaminations, and label claims are met. Plus, finished
goods do not have more than the allowed .3%
THC and are lot coded for traceability.
Consumers and independent research studies indicate
the strongest effects result from products
taken orally (through the mucosal membrane).
The company recommends its customers try all of
its products to find their own favorite way to Step

“Quality assured, lab tested is a guarantee,” Simpson concludes. “We know what’s in our products, as well as what’s not. What we say is, ‘Try them and let us know what you think.’”
