Company Description

We started by the company with the mission to master the most challenging ingredient first and that was hemp.   Our first product, Akeso Hemp Powered Hydration is the first and only to successfully extract a broad spectrum of cannabinoids from organically grown hemp and infuse the oil into water without compromising the taste and clarity using our proprietary nano-encapsulation process.  The product contains four (4) cannabinoids (CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBN) designed to help the body fight inflammation, stress and anxiety naturally.  Every other competitor in the market has to cover up the taste of hemp and the cloudiness of the liquid with flavor, sugar and opaque packaging. This process can be applied to many other nutrients.
