SunMed and SunFlora products SunMed and SunFlora products have been leaders in the ever-emerging CBD market. Where most companies are focused purely on CBD itself Your CBD Store™ takes an innovative approach to hemp and hemp products. We have focused on the entire profile of the plant and on developing products in response to the consumer experience of our products. For example, we are engaged in research and development for products that highlight other cannabinoids found in hemp that are similar to CBD in therapeutic action without the THC component, CBG (cannabigerol) is a compound found in hemp in the early stages of the plant's life. Due to research development around CBG and the genetics associated with the seed, we have recently found cost effective and efficient ways of improving extraction methods to get more CBG into hemp extract. With this extract, SunMed is working to develop a few new products that focus on CBD and CBG working together.


SunMed uniquely looks at therapeutic action first and then formulation. For example, our water-soluble products were developed in response to customers who were not comfortable holding the product under their tongue for 5 minutes to wait for the effect. This new delivery method affords customers with different serving protocols allowing consumers on the-go have more flexibility with the water-soluble products because they can quickly add the water soluble product to coffee or tea in the morning. As a therapeutic based company, SunMed looks at the CBD industry as leading the way to give a number of different options that can fit into our customers’ busy day to day lives.


SunMed’s next innovations are underway, as we work on different extract ratios including other cannabinoids such as CBC, CBG, and CBN compounds. As the safety and efficacy profiles of additional cannabinoids emerge, we are excited about the prospects for new and innovative product lines.


Sunflora is committed to educating our customers. Our philosophy is to start with our customers by listening and educating in an interactive environment at our brick and mortar stores. Our customers’ daily testimonials inform Sunmed, including the direction of our cutting edge research and product development. We pride ourselves on a a vocal informed customer base that demands transparent testing and accurate labeling.

Our goal is to develop the formulations and delivery methods so that every person can find natural solutions in a path to wellness.
