Quality at the source

Every True Wellness product is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The US line is produced in an FDA-registered facility; the Swiss line follows Swiss pharmaceutical standards with ISO 9001 quality management. GMP guarantees three things: identity and potency (the declared concentration is consistent lot after lot), purity (absence of microbiological and cross contamination) and traceability (raw material and lot documented end to end).

The Certificate of Analysis

Each batch ships with a COA issued by a third-party laboratory, documenting composition, purity and potency. Physicians can request the COA of the exact lot a patient received.

What to expect

  • Sublingual oils: onset in 15 to 45 minutes, effects for 4 to 6 hours.
  • Oral formats: onset in 45 to 120 minutes, longer and steadier effect.
  • Most patients notice a consistent response after one to two weeks of a stable dose.

Tolerability

CBD is generally well tolerated. The most reported effects are drowsiness, dry mouth and mild digestive discomfort, usually dose-related. THC-containing products can cause drowsiness and, at higher doses, a psychoactive effect. Any adverse effect should be reported to the prescribing physician, who may return to the previous dose.

Interactions

Cannabinoids are metabolized by liver enzymes shared with many medications. Patients on anticoagulants, antiepileptics, immunosuppressants or sedatives must have the protocol reviewed by their physician before starting.
