| | Launches Natural Natural™ ingredient brand to raise consumer awareness of naturally-derived rare cannabinoids PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis genetics company Phylos®, along with People Science, a direct-to-consumer scientific research and technology company, has conducted an IRB-approved, double-blind clinical research study on the effects of rare cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). Results of the study found that Natural Natural™ THCV by Phylos significantly increased energy, activity, motivation, and well-being compared to placebo, without the fatigue and munchies associated with THC consumption. “This study signifies a pivotal moment for the cannabis industry in understanding the effect of THCV in combination with THC,” according to Alisha Holloway, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Phylos. “The Natural Natural THCV study allows us to leverage our exceptional plants in the advancement of targeted cannabis products, and to chart new territories in understanding the efficacy of natural cannabinoids.” Research Results
Research participants ingested unmedicated placebo gummies, THC-only gummies, and gummies infused with extract from Get Sh!t Done™ (GSD), a THCV-dominant plant bred by Phylos. The GSD gummies included distillate from the GSD plant with a roughly 2:1 ratio of THCV:THC. Detailed methodology can be found here. The study’s core findings include: - 20% more participants felt energized after consuming the GSD gummy compared to placebo.
- 40% more participants reported enjoying their daily activities after consuming the GSD gummy compared to placebo.
- Participants who consumed the THC-only gummy reported a 50% increase in hunger when taking full doses. Participants who consumed the GSD gummy did not report a statistically significant increase in hunger compared to placebo.
- Participants who consumed the THC-only gummy reported feeling fatigue three times more than the GSD group. Participants who consumed the GSD gummy reported significantly less fatigue than placebo.
- Both GSD and THC-only gummies increased activity, exercise performance, motivation, and well-being compared to placebo.
