Makers of Topricin Announce Strategic Partnership With National Cannabis and Hemp leader, Toast

By: via Business Wire

Topical BioMedics explores cutting edge treatments for pain

Topical BioMedics, Inc. today announced a new exclusive partnership with Aspen, CO born Toast, a national cannabis and hemp company. This partnership will introduce the wellness benefits of Full Spectrum Hemp CBD to customers of Topical BioMedics, who rely on Topricin, the company’s line of topical, homeopathic pain relief creams to help manage and treat their pain. Topricin is available in over 40,000 locations nationwide.

“Our goal is to continue providing cutting edge solutions for our customers. As the medical and scientific community explore new pain treatment methods and substantiate existing ones, we aim to be at the forefront to bring our customers high quality, safe, and natural pain relief options,” says Steven Spiegel, CEO at Topical BioMedics, Inc. “Currently, our scientific and medical board is particularly interested in the recent studies of voltage-gated ion channels and how quantum cellular signaling can help alleviate pain. Like with CBD, we expect exciting new discoveries, which can help our customers in the years to come. We selected Toast to be our exclusive partner given their extensive experience with the cannabis plant and their reputation for producing the highest quality products with unique formulations that consumers love.”

“At Toast we obsess over quality and are on a mission to create products that provide the therapeutic effect consumers seek from the cannabis plant. Today you can buy CBD everywhere - from your local gas station to a high-end department store - and consumers are understandably confused by the noise on the shelf. Not all products are of equal quality, and it is so important the consumer feels informed and able to differentiate. Topricin has been a trusted national leader in pain management for nearly 3 decades; we could not think of a better group to partner with to bring clarity and transparency about CBD to consumers while also exploring new and innovative ways to provide relief,” says Punit Seth, Co-Founder and CEO at Toast.

While the benefits of CBD to promote pain relief have not yet been approved by the FDA, ongoing medical and scientific research suggests that CBD may be effective in balancing mood, aiding sleep, resolving temporary anxiety and alleviating post workout pain. Topricin is encouraged by the research on the effects of CBD. Common afflictions for Topricin customers include chronic pain, arthritis, nerve pain, and Fibromyalgia.

The benefits of this new partnership include.

  • An opportunity for Topricin customers to learn more about CBD and its potential benefits
  • Ability for Topricin to provide high-quality, compliant CBD products from a trusted partner, Toast, for customers who wish to include CBD in their daily routine
  • A chance to introduce Toast to Topical BioMedic’s strong network of over 40,000 retail partners.
  • Complete research and development on how Toast CBD can complement Topricin’s existing topical, homeopathic portfolio

Topricin consumers can purchase the product by going to https://topricintoastcbd.com/ or www.WeToast.com.
