One Year After Securing API License for Pharma Grade CBD, Folium Biosciences Reports Broad Global Pharmaceutical Adoption

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Oct. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Since securing its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) license one year ago, Folium Biosciences' CBD Isolate has been widely adopted for pharmaceutical formulations worldwide in countries with stringent cannabinoid regulations — including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South America.

"Our pharmaceutical partners rely on us not only for superior CBD ingredients, but also for our unique knowledge of the pharmaceutical product development process," says Folium Chief Science Officer Dr. M.V. Fernandez Cid. "More than a supplier, we are a development partner.  Our team has been conducting clinical research in cannabinoids since the start of the industry, which means that we understand exactly what a pharmaceutical company needs to have in place when it comes to securing approvals from global ethical commissions and regulatory bodies. We believe that critical insight and experience is as essential to CBD product success as is our unrivaled quality."

Folium Biosciences is one of only a few companies that are approved to provide the international pharmaceutical industry with active ingredients for the development of CBD-based drugs. Folium's CBD API is produced at the company's cannabis-licensed subsidiary, Folium Biosciences Europe B.V., which is developing a pipeline of cannabinoid APIs including dronabinol (THC) and CBG that are currently in the validation phase.
