Despite scientific advancements and pharmaceutical promises, chronic and neuropathic pain remains a daily challenge for healthcare practitioners and patients. With one in five Canadians suffering from chronic pain<sup>1<\/sup>\u00a0, millions of Canadians are seeking ways to improve their quality of life and manage their symptoms\u2014and one Canadian company believes that plant-made therapeutics may offer a solution.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Legacy_of_the_Opioid_Crisis\"><\/span>The Legacy of the Opioid Crisis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In recent years, prescription opioids have been commonly prescribed to manage symptoms associated with acute or chronic pain\u2014contributing to the global opioid crisis. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Canada is the second-largest global consumer, per capita, of opioids, behind the United States<sup>2<\/sup>. As healthcare practitioners and the public have become more aware of the potential adverse effect of opioids, interest in other pain management options continues to increase.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cannabinoids_Offer_an_Additional_Option\"><\/span>Cannabinoids Offer an Additional Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Research has shown that cannabinoids may offer patients an additional option to manage their chronic and neuropathic pain<sup>3<\/sup>. While cannabinoids have been used in medicine for thousands of years, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> has barely scratched the surface of their full therapeutic potential. Now, companies like ZYUS Life Sciences are working to shift the paradigm from conventional strategies by reimagining the potential of plant-made therapeutics, including innovative cannabinoid-based formulations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pioneering_the_Field_of_Life_Sciences\"><\/span>Pioneering the Field of Life Sciences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ZYUS is rooted in science. Born from the concept of \u2018science\u2019 and \u2018zygote\u2019 (the fusion of two cells), it represents the beginning of life and the importance of improving quality of life. This Saskatoon-based life sciences company believes in taking a forward-thinking, collaborative approach and placing high value in teamwork, partnerships and commitment to the broader \u2018us\u2019\u2014society.<\/p>\n<p>They are working to advance the science of well-being by developing targeted, plant-made therapeutics that help to address the unmet needs of patients here in Canada and around the world. \u201cI\u2019ve always seen extraordinary potential in cannabinoids\u2014the compounds within the cannabis plant\u2014for use in medicine,\u201d says Brent Zettl, ZYUS CEO. \u201cWhat makes me passionate about this industry is helping patients. Hearing how much their life, or that of a loved one, has been transformed is the best motivation to keep moving forward our research into plant-made medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ZYUS is investing in pre-clinical studies and clinical trials to help further the scientific understanding of cannabinoids and the transformational affect they can have on patient outcomes. \u201cWe believe that an evidence-based approach, backed with clinical research, will lead to the development of best-in-class standardized formulations for patients,\u201d says Zettl. \u201cEnsuring that the product is predictable, both in its quality and efficacy, is key to this next generation of plant-made therapeutics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ZYUS\u2019 short-term focus is bringing innovative cannabinoid formulations to market, which they plan to sell through ZYUS.ca in Canada, and in pharmacies around the world, tapping into a population of 800+ million people. In fact, if everything goes to plan, Zettl thinks ZYUS will be \u201ca household name\u201d within the decade. For him, it\u2019s simply a recognition of the \u201cstark need\u201d for the products they\u2019re developing.<\/p>\n<p>It is an exciting time for the company, but it\u2019s not just the expansion and growth that\u2019s making Brent Zettl eager to get to his desk every morning. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s knowing that we are helping to improve the human condition,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason why we should have this suffering\u2014 and I can\u2019t turn my back on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><sup>1\u00a0Anderson, M., Campbell, F., Choini\u00e8re, M., El-Gabalawy, H., Hudspith, M., Lalibert\u00e9, J., Swidrovich, J., Wilhelm, L.
