How Verasome Works

Verasome™ is a specific blend of medicinal grade hemp flower terpenes and phytocannabinoids designed to support the proper function of the Endocannabinoid System, the system that regulates homeostasis at the cellular level throughout the body. The Endocannabinoid system influences both inflammation and pain.

Terpenes and Phytocannabinoids are bioactive natural products with medicinal properties.

  • Terpenes contain psychoactive properties that relax the nervous system while they elevate mood and alertness. They can also ward off pathogens/infectious diseases. They are also used in anti-dementia (memory-enhancing) drugs to enhance cholinergic activity.

  • Phytocannabinoids can be beneficial for ailments such as pain, anxiety, and cachexia, a “wasting” disorder that causes extreme weight loss and muscle wasting.

Is there a maximum amount that a person should use in a single day?

  • No.  It may be applied as frequently as needed.

How does Verasome work?

  • Phytocannabinoids and terpenes in Verasome are carried through the skin into the muscle via the aloe carrier and bind to Endocannabinoid receptors on the cell membrane.

  • Inside the cell these compounds work synergistically to  activate enzymes that reduce inflammation and restore homeostatic balance within the cells, which reduces pain and improves function.

  • Verasome addresses inflammation locally in the skin, soft tissues, and nerves, and not via the vascular system (blood stream).  By doing so, potentially negative side effects of systemically absorbed products are minimized.

Can Verasome be ingested?

  • Verasome is not designed for internal use, but ingredients will not cause harm if ingested.  

  • Some patients have applied Verasome with their finger to their gums for oral pain inside the mouth until they can meet their dentist.
