Loyal Leaf CBD Event on Zoom

Everyone has questions about the CBD products now being used to treat Multiple Sclerosis. No one can answer them better than Brent and Brian Janaky, who founded Loyal Leaf to help their father, a long-time sufferer of MS. We were so pleased to have Brian Janaky join us on February 9th for a wonderful Q&A session on CBD oil, its uses and benefits, the considerations involved, and surprising differences between CBD companies and their products in this still emerging and volatile industry. If you missed the event, you will definitely want to view the video.

It was a wonderful lecture and we hope everyone gets a chance to view the video from the event.
