Satipharm Gelpell Technology
Satipharm's Gelpell technology improves the body's absorption of CBD and other cannabinoids through a patented formulation of CBD hemp extract contained in seamless Gelpell gelatine biospheres. The Gelpell biospheres are placed in gastro-resistant capsules ensuring the timely release of CBD in the small intestine, thereby improving bioavailability, and further ensuring patients receive a consistent dose of CBD in every Satipharm CBD Gelpell capsule.
Clinical Trails
Satipharm's proprietary CBD Gelpell capsules have been used in two separate clinical trials, making them one of the most advanced CBD products available in the market.
Phase 1 Clinical Trial
Conducted in 2016, the first clinical trial demonstrated the safety and superior bioavailability of Satipharm's CBD Gelpell capsules in comparison to an oromucosal formulation in humans.
Phase 2 Clinical Trial
The second clinical trial, completed in 2018, further demonstrated that the patented Satipharm CBD Gelpell formulation reduced epileptic seizures in paediatric patients with very severe, uncontrolled, treatment-resistent epilepsy (TRE) by a remarkable 73.4%, as well as evidencing marked reductions in seizure severity. The result was meaningful improvement in patient functioning as expressed by caregivers' global impressions.
