What is cannabidiol (CBD) exactly?
According to a report from the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.” A recent study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology concluded that “acute CBD alone is unlikely to significantly impair daily functioning or workplace performance.”.
How is hemp different from marijuana?
“Hemp” and “marijuana” are terms used to describe the Cannabis sativa L. plant and hemp is distinguished by its low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content (typically less than 0.3% by weight). This low THC level means hemp products are not typically associated with the psychoactive effects (high) that are more commonly associated with marijuana, which is also a cannabis variety with higher THC levels.
What are the benefits of CBD?
We can’t tell you the benefits of hemp extracts, or CBD. We can talk about the purity of our patent-pending University developed formula that is Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabindiolic-acid (CBDA) in equimolar (1:1) amounts. The FDA has rules and regulations, and we do not pretend to be a medicine. Just like Omega Fatty acids from fish oil has benefits but is not a medicine. We can tell you that we ensure purity of our products with third-party testing and prove that purity with our Certificates of Analysis (COA). We have thousands of customer reviews that are generated by a third-party verification platform, and all Tanasi™ reviews are from customers who speak to their own experience.
Our Work
GreenWay Tanasi, LLC is owned and operated by GreenWay Herbal Products, LLC who has been working with its University partner since 2016 to fund research on natural plants of both, hemp and ginseng. This research produced the patent-pending hemp extract formula that is the basis of our Tanasi™ products. The funding for the University also created a ginseng patent too, and we choose not to sell ginseng products at this time. All Tanasi™ products have isolate cannabinoids from hemp in each product with other amazing ingredients as carrier oils. The GreenWay patent, Cannabinoid compositions and methods of using was filed with the USPTO in 2019. Then, GreenWay Herbal Products, LLC additionally filed the patent internationally. In 2023 GreenWay received two (2) patent awards in the United Kingdom, and you can find the details and claims for UK Patent one, and UK patent two in the documents section of these links provided. All other countries where the patent has been filed remain pending today (as of June 2025).
GreenWay Herbal Products, LLC introduced Omega Fatty acids from natural fish oil as the carrier oil in our Tanasi™ Fish Oil softgels. With pre-clinical data worthy of its own patent filing, GreenWay utilized some great connections in the refined fish oil industry and the patent is built around this formula; EPA:DHA (1:2) and CBD+CBDA (1:1).
Read the data in our patents filed, and patents awarded to learn more about the basis of our Tanasi™ products.
The bottom line?
The Tanasi products are built around a patent-pending University developed hemp extract formula. If you are not satisfied within the first 30 days of your purchase, just email us and we will refund your money as per our Satisfaction Guarantee.
The what? The, endocannabinoid system (ECS). All mammals have an endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex network of molecules, receptors, and enzymes that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in the body.
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
Think of it as a master control center or dashboard that’s involved in establishing and maintaining health across all systems. Harvard University has a good explanation of the ECS here.
CBD & The ECS
As scientists around the world began to look more deeply at the ECS and understand its role, they realized they were on to something big. In 1995, researchers discovered a set of endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 in thousands of species, including humans.
From there, scientists were able to use advances in technology and further understand the relationship between cannabinoid receptors within our body (known as “endocannabinoids”) and the cannabinoid receptors in cannabis sativa L. compounds like CBD (known as phytocannabinoids”).
Now that we know that endocannabinoids play a crucial role in so many functions in our bodies, research suggests that supplementing our bodies with cannabinoids—by taking it as a nutritional supplement—may be a good thing.
The bottom line?
Cannabinoids, specifically cannabidiol (CBD) from the hemp version of the cannabis sativa L. plant, are a safe, naturally occurring, bio-active molecule that’s non-addictive, non-psychoactive (no “high”), and consumed by people for a variety of reasons.
Tanasi™ is the first patent-pending University-developed line of hemp extract products available to the market. Tanasi™ products are created only after scientific discovery and review in a lab setting. The Tanasi™ hemp extract products contain a patent-pending formula of cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic-acid (CBDA) in equal parts (1:1).
The patent-pending formulation in all of the Tanasi™ hemp extract products have been identified as an optimal formulation through bio-assay studies. A bio-assay is an analytical method to determine concentration or potency of a substance by analyzing its effects on living cells or tissues.
Through this research, we have created a specific patent-pending formulation of non-psychotropic cannabinoids derived from hemp that we believe is an optimal formulation of CBD. If you are going to take CBD, why not take a CBD product that is 2X better than CBD alone.
The Tanasi™ brand is owned and developed by GreenWay Herbal Products, LLC. GreenWay Herbal Products, LLC has funded the study of the hemp plant in a university setting since 2016. Our research has utilized a team of chemistry and biology Ph.D.’s and the efforts resulted in a Patent-Pending formula that is found in each or our Tanasi™ products. Our company is rooted in science to ensure we offer top-quality products with a consistency you can trust.
