CBD OTF shows improved bioavailability
Cure Pharmaceutical Cannabidiol Oral Thin Film demonstrated improved CBD bioavailability in healthy subjects than 25 mg soft gels. During the pk study in fourteen healthy adults, the company showed Tmax and Cmax using CBD OTF compared to the commercially available cannabidiol softgel.
Cannabidiol is fat-soluble, and its oral bioavailability is limited. As a result, the body could not absorb CBD. Cure Pharmaceutical’s proprietary delivery platform – CUREform, is developed to overcome the obstacles and deliver ingredients effectively. CSO of Cure Pharmaceutical, Vered Gigi, said this study tells that CUREform technology promotes bioavailability and allows lower doses.
