Background and Mission of TCP and Oncuity
Sleep is an important aspect for health and wellness across the lifespan. The number of people in the United States who are 65 years or older is steadily increasing, and is expected to double over the next 25 years to about 72 million. By 2030, roughly one in five people in the US will be over the age of 65. Sleep physiology changes with the age, and many sleep disorders increase in the elderly. As many as 50% of older adults, compared to 15.9 to 22.3% of the general population, complain about sleep problems. Sleep complaints when persistent, can lead to daytime sleepiness, which can lead to morbidity in elderly people, such as impaired cognition, disorientation, delirium, as well as increased risk of falls.1
The Commonwealth Project (TCP) recognized this significant health challenge along with others that older adults face daily. Insomnia being one of the most common complaints of seniors, TCP decided to introduce a gummy designed to support the body’s ability to have a restful night. Addressing these, they founded Oncuity with a single, focused mission: to provide seniors with safe and legal access to innovative Cannabinoid-Based Therapies (CBTs), effectively redefining healthcare norms for elderly wellness
Oncuity’s Vision
Oncuity operates with a clear vision: to remove the stigma surrounding cannabinoids and to establish easy access to Cannabinoid-Based therapies and services for older adults. This initiative aims to empower this demographic to live healthier and more active lives as they age.
Understanding Cannabinoid-Based Therapies
Definition of CBTs
Cannabinoid-Based Therapies (CBTs) refer to a class of treatments that utilize compounds extracted from the cannabis plant, which includes both marijuana and hemp. These therapies encompass the strategic use of over 100 different cannabinoids — the active components found in cannabis plants — to foster health and wellness. These treatments are tailored to address various health concerns, with formulations designed to harness the potential therapeutic benefits of individual cannabinoids.
The Role and Benefits of Cannabinoids
Out of the vast array of cannabinoids, two stand out for their notable benefits: CBD and CBN.
