Hemp 15 mg & 50 mg Capsule Absorption

This study is designed to determine the time to maximum plasma concentration of CBD and CBD-A after an oral dose of standardized full spectrum hemp extract over a 4-hour timeline. This study is designed to include two arms. Each arm will be delivered a different concentration of standardized full spectrum hemp extract, either 15 mg or 50 mg. Throughout the course of the study all participants will be asked to provide four (4) plasma samples, 10 randomly selected participants will be asked to provide five (5) plasma samples. Samples will then be evaluated using a validated LC-MS/MS method to develop a blood concentration time curve in order to determine time to reach maximum blood concentration. This trial is double-blinded with two arms enrolling only healthy individuals. The participants randomized for a fifth blood draw will be randomly selected from these two arms.
