THE POWER OF
PRECISION.

Why CHOU2 PHARMA:

The hemp plant is packed with power. As scientists, it’s up to us to process that organic potential into consistent products. 

Many products follow an unrefined approach to cannabinoid processing, simply distilling hemp into oils and creating products from whatever broad range of cannabinoids the hemp yields. That means their outcomes vary plant by plant, and bottle by bottle, and treat by treat –  leaving a lot to chance. 

Our process takes scientific rigor to a new level, resulting in need-specific products we track from seed to sale. 

With CHOU2 PHARMA / CHOU2 PET WELLNESS, you can always count on highly refined support that target specific animal needs. Naturally.
