T-Hydrocan™ Update 12-30-2013 from Berkeley Bio.
Post# of 36728
Hi Everyone,
As we anxiously await the bottles and labels for the first Dharmanol™ product, we have been beta-testing the new T-Hydrocan™ tablets that will follow closely on its heels.
T-Hydrocan tablets contain active THC (fully decarboxylated), an array of organic terpenes and terpenoids that are found in the cannabis plant, and a mixture of the minor cannabinoids.
We have been getting asked about the difference between the T-Hydrocan tablets, and the YAK Cannabis Extract capsules that the Dharma Care and Hospice Program has been providing to patients for the last six years.
The YAK capsules are truly whole-plant. Organically grown cannabis flowers are pulverized and extracted in butter. After extraction, the powdered cannabis flowers are not removed, resulting in a true “whole-plant” product.
T-Hydrocan tablets come in two forms: T-Hydrocan™ Whole Plant and T-Hydrocan™ RMC (Refined Mixed Cannabinoids).
1. The T-Hydrocan™ Whole Plant tablets are made with an extract of cannabis flowers that is made with organically-certified ethanol (drinking alcohol) which enables the capture of all of the alcohol soluble elements of the plant. Separated terpenes and terpenoids, which are insoluble in alcohol but can be removed with steam distillation, are added to the mixture, along with organic cold-pressed hemp oil, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a preservative.
2. T-Hydrocan RMC (Refined Mixed Cannabinoids) tablets contain a highly purified extract of cannabis flowers, in the form of a translucent red or gold-colored oil which contains about 70% to 75% cannabinoids.
Several variations of the basic T-Hydrocan tablets will follow in the first part of 2014. These specialty supplements will enhance the basic formula with substantial doses of various cannabis terpenes and terpenoids which have, in themselves, shown considerable medicinal efficacy.
T-Hydrocan™ Citrolene™ will be the first, containing d-limonene, a terpene which has been shown to bind with the same receptors as synthetic drugs such as Valium and Xanax, producing a pronounced relaxing and anti-spasmodic effect.
The flowers used for production are known to be pesticide and chemical free, and purity and potency is determined by testing at every step of the process by CW Analytical Labs in Oakland. The starting material is also tested for microbiological contamination, as are all of the finished products.
We would like to thank all those who have helped us in the beta-testing of the new tablets and wish all who have followed our progress a very Happy New Year.
