GreenWay Herbal Products, a botanical innovation company rooted in science, announced today the launch of Tanasi, a line of specially formulated cannabinoid products using a patent-pending CBDA/CBD formula, developed at one of the world’s leading plant-science university research labs investigating botanical medicine & health.
"Though the benefits of cannabinoids are fairly new, the dizzying array of CBD products that have flooded the marketplace can be overwhelming to consumers, especially as they learn about inconsistent claims of potency," said Jeff Heeren, CEO of GreenWay Herbal Products. "Our differentiation is in our university-developed cannabinoid formula that is in a full-spectrum concentration of hemp extract with a patent-pending CBDA and CBD formula. The CBDA is present in the raw plant material, and is the acidic precursor to CBD. The combination of CBDA/CBD is the basis, and difference maker, of our Tanasi product line. Two compounds work better than one, and we believe our products work better than CBD alone."
Tanasi is the first line of CBD products with a university-patented CBD formula.
This research grant, started in 2016, funds the scientific research into plants with potential medicinal value. An ongoing aspect of this grant activity is the studying of hemp, its cannabinoid components such as cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabidiolic-acid (CBDA), and the benefits of ginseng.
The research grant licenses GreenWay to manufacture and sell nutritional supplements and food additives using select pending patents and other research from MTSU.
"There is a scarcity of scientific studies testing the ability of CBD and other non-psychotropic cannabinoids to act as anti-inflammatory agents, soc we did a number of studies to test the properties of these cannabinoids.The results of these studies showed convincingly that while CBD is an anti-inflammatory agent, CBDA, the natural precursor of CBD, is a better anti-inflammatory agent than CBD alone and there is a synergistic effect when both of these cannabinoids are used, which is the basis of our patent-pending formula," said Elliot Altman from MTSU.
MTSU's faculty and graduate students have developed more than ten (10) plant-based compounds, including hemp and ginseng, for which MTSU has filed patent applications. GreenWay Herbal Products chose to financially support MTSU knowing their team of biologists and chemists has the experience to identify new plant-derived compounds that GreenWay Herbal Products can bring to the market.
All of the Tanasi CBD products contain the patent-pending university developed formula of CBDA/CBD, are third-party tested, non-psychoactive, whole-hemp extracts, and contain the legal threshold of 0.3% THC or less.

On the Tanasi.com website, a third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available with each batch run, showing the quantity of cannabinoids in every Tanasi product. All COAs are from third-party labs, and Tanasi products are tested from plant to finished product. The biomass (hemp plants) are tested during grow cycles, at harvest, at first extraction, during cannabinoid isolation, during formulation, after formulation, and after final product packaging.
"The opportunity to be a part of a university-based science project on hemp in 2016 was something that I had to be a part of," said Ed Chiles, co-owner of GreenWay Herbal Products. "The results of these ongoing studies have proven to me that hemp is an amazing supplement that supports our endocannabinoid system. I take our Tanasi products every day because they are rooted in science and I know I can trust the research."
Earlier this month, GreenWay Herbal Products announced activities related to its 10-year, $2.5 million university-licensing research agreement found here.
