(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Boulder, Colo. (June 1, 2016) - WanaCapsxr, a family of extended release Cannabis capsules that provide medicinal benefits for up to 12 hours, is marking one year on the market with numerous metrics of successes.  Wana Brands and Cannabics Pharmaceuticals developed the extended release formulation that allows patients to dose once or twice daily without the constant need to re-dose. WanaCapsxr are available in over 450 of the 500 Colorado dispensaries. The world's first extended release Cannabis capsules are poised to launch in new markets including Nevada and Oregon, with plans for entering new domestic and international markets over the next decade. WanaCapsxrperfectly address the desire by some states, such as Florida and New York, to have their medicine look like medicine. Wana Brands has also launched a High-CBD adult-use option, meaning "over-the-counter" access for consumers who do not have a medical marijuana license, and offering stable, convenient and discrete dosing alternative without psychoactive effects.

"The patient testimonials we receive validate everything Wana Brands and Cannabics envisioned for WanaCapxr," said Nancy Whiteman, co-owner of Wana Brands. "Over the past year, we have seen WanaCapxrchange many patients' lives for the better. When taking the capsules, they see a significant amount of pain reduction without having to dose every few hours. The capsules also address one of the major concerns of Cannabis patients, which is that the initial high peak of cannabinoid activity soon after administration can cause uncomfortable side effects such as disorientation and dizziness."

Wana Brands and Cannabics Pharmaceuticals are constantly exploring how to advance the science behind the medical Cannabis market for those who need it most. Cannabics is currently conducting a clinical study for cancer patients using the extended release capsules that will study the capsules' efficacy. This clinical study involves patients with advanced cancer examining weight gain, appetite, quality of life and a marker for anti-cancer activity, and examines the influence of the capsules on both of these common effects of cancer and cancer treatment.

Three Colorado residents share how WanaCapsxr have positively impacted their lives:  

Casey H., 32, Broomfield, suffers from severe psoriatic arthritis and has tried many different methods of medicating, but he says WanaCapsXR is the best treatment for his pain. "I bought my bottle of WanaCapsXR at Helping Hands Herbal in Boulder with my med card the first time I saw them. I have tried a lot of edibles as well as other methods of medicating, but WanaCapsXR worked better than anything else for me. Today was the first time in years I was able to get up and move about without a problem. I have just been thrilled at how well and how long they work. I might even be able to go hiking again! WanaCapsXR are well worth every penny and I hope you keep making them for a long time to come!"

Ed G., suffers from insomnia and has been looking for a way to find a restful night's sleep. Ed was suffering from adverse side effect when turning to other Cannabis delivery methods, but WanaCapsXRfinally helped him achieve a restful sleep with no morning side effects. "I have been consuming Cannabis for the last year and a half with the goal of finding a restful sleep with no hangover. During that time, I have experimented with flower in a vaporizer, hybrid tablets, and hybrid Activated Hash Oil in capsules. After trying the CBD WanaCapsXR, I found them to be more gentle and pure than other methods. They also feel more balanced to me than other methods, meaning they seem to have the right balance of THC and CBD making for a better, more restful sleep, with no after effects. Good job with your product... they really work for me."

Hoot G., 44, from Aurora, has multiple sclerosis and moved to Colorado to be able to use medical marijuana to treat his symptoms. However, he found delivery methods such as smoking and edibles unreliable. When WanaCapsxr became available, he was one of the first patients to test them. "The truly surprising thing was that I was able to feel the effects of WanaCapsxr for several hours after taking them. Normally, I must continually medicate throughout the day by consuming edibles and smoking marijuana to maintain some level of relief and function. When taking the WanaCapsxr, I did not feel the need to medicate as I normally would. Usually when I am experiencing multiple symptoms, I am forced to constantly medicate throughout the day or if I am in a situation where that is not possible then I must sometimes try to just bear it but now that's not something I have to worry about when I have the WanaCapsxr and just ‘wana' feel better."

WanaCapsXR are available in four different formulations. The Medical Market offers capsules with a 10:1 CBD to THC ratio (WanaCapsxr High CBD Capsules), a 10:1 THC to CBD ratio (WanaCapsxr High THC Capsules), and a balanced formulation with 1:1 THC:CBD ratio (WanaCapsxr THC/CBD Balanced Capsules). Wana Brands also launched a High CBD WanaCapsXR into the Colorado adult-use market in December 2015. The extended release cannabis capsules for the adult-use market offer medicinal benefits with little to no psychoactivity for up to 12 hours. The High CBD WanaCapsXRoffer an ideal alternative for Cannabis consumers looking for a stable, convenient and discrete dosing alternative without psychoactive effects. Wana Brands is expanding the launch of its popular lines through partnerships in emerging markets, both nationally and internationally.

Don't miss Wana Brands co-founder Nancy Whiteman at NCIA's Cannabis Business Summit & Expo 2016 in Oakland from June 20-22, when she will join the panel "Delivery and Dosage of Cannabis Medicine." Wana Brands' Director of Operations Mica Gross joins the discussion on "FDA Regulatory Compliance."
