CBD is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. The World Health Organization has found no evidence of abuse or dependence potential with pure CBD, and no related public health concerns to date. A study published in Neuropsychopharmacology found that CBD alone is unlikely to meaningfully impair daily functioning.

We focus on formulation, not health claims. What we can tell you about is what’s actually in the bottle: a patented, university-developed formula combining Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA) in an equimolar 1:1 ratio. Every batch is third-party tested, with Certificates of Analysis (COA) available so you can verify that purity for yourself.

Most hemp products are a single ingredient dressed up as a formula — a loose extract, or a broad-spectrum blend of whatever the harvest happened to produce. Tanasi is different. At the center of every Tanasi product is a patented, university-developed 1:1 CBD+CBDA formula — U.S. Patent No. 12,496,307 — a defined, deliberate ratio of two hemp isolates, built the same way in every batch. Not a single-ingredient extract. Not a random mix. A formulation standard.

“Hemp” and “marijuana” both refer to the Cannabis sativa L. plant — the difference comes down to THC content. Hemp is defined by a low concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), typically under 0.3% by weight, which is why hemp products aren’t associated with the psychoactive effects (“high”) more commonly linked to marijuana’s higher-THC varieties.

Every mammal has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) — a network of receptors and molecules that plays a role in regulating things like mood, energy, and rest.

Your body makes its own cannabis-like compounds. Scientists uncovered this in the late 1980s and early 1990s while studying how THC — the active compound in the hemp plant — produces its effects. That work led them to the first cannabinoid receptor, called CB₁: a kind of docking site in the brain. Soon after, researchers identified the natural molecules the body produces to fit those receptors — anandamide and 2-AG. Together, these receptors and molecules make up the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a signaling network that helps the body stay in balance.

Harvard Health has a helpful overview of how the ECS works if you’d like to go deeper.

Cannabinoids are the natural compounds that give hemp and cannabis plants their character. There are dozens of them, but a handful do most of the heavy lifting.

Here’s something most people don’t know: in the living plant, these compounds start out in an “acid” form. When the plant material is heated — dried, aged, or warmed — those acids transform into the more familiar versions you usually see on labels. So each cannabinoid really has two identities: its raw, plant-fresh acid form and its heated, “activated” form.

The most common ones, roughly in order of how much you’ll typically find:

• THC comes from THCA — the compound most associated with cannabis
• CBD comes from CBDA — the non-intoxicating one hemp is known for
• CBG comes from CBGA — often called the “mother” cannabinoid, because the plant makes it first and then converts it into the others
• CBC comes from CBCA
• CBN comes from CBNA — this one mostly appears as cannabis ages
• THCV, CBDV, and CBGV — a lighter, “slimmer” group of related compounds found in smaller amounts, made from THCVA, CBDVA, and CBGVA

At Tanasi, the two that matter most are CBD and its raw acid form, CBDA — which is why our formula intentionally keeps both, rather than heating one fully away.

Tanasi is one of the first patented, University-developed line of hemp extract products available to the US market. Tanasi products are created only after scientific discovery and review in a lab setting. The Tanasi hemp extract products contain a patented formula of hemp-derived cannabinoids, Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabidiolic Acid (CBDA), in equal parts (1:1), protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,496,307.

Through years of university research and testing, this specific 1:1 ratio was identified and patented as the foundation of every Tanasi product. It’s a defined, consistent formula, not a single-ingredient extract, and not a random mix of whatever the hemp plant happens to contain.

Tanasi products are built around a patented, university-developed hemp formula. If you’re not satisfied within the first 30 days of your purchase, just email us and we’ll refund your money under our Satisfaction Guarantee.
