Revolutionary Medical Therapies and Innovative Cosmetic Solutions
Driven by the needs of patients. Fueled by data. Guided by compassion.

Our Purpose
At CB21 Pharma, we advance healthcare through scientific innovation. We use natural active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to develop medical therapies and groundbreaking cosmetic solutions, focusing on non-psychotropic cannabinoids.
Our evidence-based approach ensures effective treatments and measurable results. Our research integrates sustainable practices and demonstrates our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Our Mission
We develop advanced medical treatments to establish new therapeutic standards. To address unmet medical needs, we harness the untapped therapeutic potential of non-psychotropic cannabinoids in combination with other compounds.
Our Vision
We intend to stand at the forefront of medical innovation by developing and commercializing advanced treatments for a variety of medical conditions. We exploit the therapeutic potential of non-psychotropic cannabinoids skillfully combined with other compounds to address less commonly targeted indications.

Our Focus
Research and Development
The medical benefits of cannabinoids are often misunderstood, and their perceived benefits are sometimes overstated. Through our commitment to evidence-based medicine, we have identified specific conditions where cannabinoid therapy has demonstrated efficacy. Our research and clinical trials aim to advance treatment options in the following medical areas:
GYNAECOLOGY
UROLOGY
PROCTOLOGY
DENTISTRY
PSYCHIATRY

Why Phytocannabinoids
Phytocannabinoids demonstrate significant therapeutic potential through their pleiotropic effects and broad receptor interactions, extending beyond the endocannabinoid system. CBD and THC show promise in managing chronic pain, intractable nausea and vomiting, multiple sclerosis-related spasticity, and severe treatment-resistant epilepsy. CB21 Pharma focuses on prevalent conditions for which current treatments are limited.
What
We Do Best
Our comprehensive R&D process includes preclinical and clinical evaluations to ensure safety, efficacy, and correct dosages. We deliver validated products through close collaboration with our scientific board and Czech faculty hospitals.
Data is
the Missing Link
While knowledge about phytocannabinoids continues to grow, clinical evidence is vital for its widespread adoption. Products supported by robust data are crucial for market acceptance. At CB21 Pharma, we prioritize data-driven research to validate our products and build confidence in phytocannabinoids as therapeutic options.
CANNEFF®:
Advanced Cosmetic Solutions
In addition to our pharmaceutical efforts, we develop, manufacture and market CANNEFF®, a 21st-century clean-label brand that embodies the latest scientific advances in functional cosmetics. Combining cutting-edge research, potent natural ingredients and sophisticated design, CANNEFF® also sets new standards in the market.
