Discussing the upcoming feature, Dr. Small-Howard said, “We are honored to share recent information about our first-in-class, cannabinoid-based treatment for the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease on Worldwide Business with Kathy Ireland®.”

She emphasized the company’s vision in reimagining traditional medicines by creating safe, effective, plant-inspired formulations aimed to be sold as U.S. FDA-approved drugs, stating: “Beyond that, Gb Sciences is reimagining traditional medicines by creating safe, effective, plant-inspired formulations to be sold as U.S. FDA-approved drugs.

Gb Sciences' Parkinson’s medication utilizes cannabinoids synthesized by Purisys, LLC, a leader in pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid supply. To address common swallowing difficulties in Parkinson’s patients, Gb Sciences has chosen Catalent Pharma’s Zydis® orally disintegrating tablets (ODT) for effective dosing.

The company plans to file an Investigational New Drug Application for its Parkinson's treatment as early as next year, marking the first steps towards clinical trials. With Parkinson’s disease being the second most common neurodegenerative disease, the market for its treatments is anticipated to grow significantly.
