We are excited about building this collaboration for the advancement of science, wellness, and specifically CBD. Our vision for the Trove Clinical Advisory Board is multi-faceted:

1. To help familiarize veterinarians and healthcare professionals with the diverse applications and observable results from the use of premium, laboratory-tested hemp-derived CBD products specifically formulated for horses, dogs, cats, and people;

2. To expand the body of validated information about the role, usage, and potential benefits of CBD in animals and people by helping to support investigation, trials, case studies and data collection by providing Trove products, input, and regimen suggestions to veterinarians and healthcare practitioners;

3. To help document observations and results of these investigations and studies and disseminate this information to the public, hopefully providing a basis for further pilot studies and larger scale clinical research into the safety, efficacy, and benefits of CBD for improved health and wellness; and

4. To create a collaborative exchange of information and draw upon the experience of the Trove Clinical Advisory Board members when specific inquiries may be more fully informed by referral to knowledgeable veterinary and healthcare professionals.
