About Us
We believe CBD can change lives. We have leveraged our experience in healthcare and R&D to evaluate the different CBD products available and study the research on it.
A Solution for a Better CBD
NextEvo CBD is better because our SmartSorb™ technology optimizes CBD for better bioavailability, so your body can absorb more of it. CBD is oil-soluble, which means it’s hard for the human body to absorb.
While other CBD products can pass right through your system with little absorption, we’ve created a technology that allows your body to soak up the CBD goodness.
Products Backed by Science
We’ve developed scientific rigor from our experience at leading companies such as Johnson & Johnson and GlaxoSmithKline. This background is what gives us such high standards. Our team of scientists and medical advisors continue to push for the evolution of standards for CBD and supplements. Our manufacturing sites can prove they are high quality through GMP-certification and FDA inspections. It is mission critical for us to develop products we can stand behind.
