Highland Pharms Review April 2024

Company Analysis

Luke Johnston and Elliot Harris founded Highland Pharms in 2016. Johnston discovered the therapeutic benefits of CBD during his fight with aggressive metastatic colon cancer. Johnston found that CBD offers relief from the adverse side effects of chemotherapy.

A 2008 study involving individuals with cancer or multiple sclerosis showed that cannabinoids may help in managing symptoms associated with challenging-to-treat pain^[1], such as cancer-related pain.

Individuals suffering from intense pain caused by severe or advanced medical conditions, such as cancer, may benefit from CBD.

Review of Highland Pharms Line

The 250+ Hemp Oil Drops (8 oz) is a full-spectrum CBD oil tincture with MCT as its carrier oil. It comes in mint and strawberry flavor.

Meanwhile, the 20mg All-Natural Gummies is a full-spectrum CBD-infused gummy bear that comes in a total of 400mg of CBD per bottle. Its coloring is from organic concentrates of apple, blackcurrant, pumpkin, and carrot. These ingredients also mask the hemp’s bitter, natural taste.

The 25+ Hemp Softgel Capsules is a full-spectrum CBD oil housed in softgel capsules, which allows consumers a discrete and convenient way of ingesting CBD. Each bottle contains 30 capsules.

Conclusion

Highland Pharms offers its customers high-quality products sourced from pharmaceutical-grade hemp. It also provides a wide range of CBD concentrations, which can help customers better address their needs. 

Further studies are required to give definitive proof of CBD’s efficacy on alleviating hard-to-manage pain. However, multiple studies point that CBD and CBD products have much potential.

Still, customers are advised to seek professional medical advice before using Highland Pharms products. While CBD may have positive effects on certain conditions, further research is still needed.
