About CannaLean

Over 100 million adults worldwide suffer from elevated cholesterol or triglycerides. Existing treatments—primarily statins—are effective for some, but often cause side effects, show limited tolerance, or fail to address triglycerides adequately.

CannaLean is developing a safe, natural, and evidence-based alternative, combining pharmaceutical rigor with wellness accessibility.

Our Vision

Redefining Lipid Health

Our vision is to address two of the most common and under-treated conditions globally:

    Elevated cholesterol

Elevated triglycerides

5

Using a novel, IP-protected formulation, we aim to deliver meaningful lipid reduction with minimal to no significant side effects—bridging the gap between wellness and pharma.

Evidence-Based Development

CannaLean’s technology is built on a structured, evidence-based development pathway, combining pre-clinical validation with human clinical feasibility studies.

Pre-clinical studies demonstrated significant reductions in cholesterol and triglyceride levels in animal models, supporting both efficacy and safety.

    First-in-human clinical feasibility study (double-blind, placebo-controlled) showed meaningful improvements in lipid profiles, including reductions in LDL-C and total cholesterol.

This stepwise approach ensures that product development is driven by data, reproducibility, and clinical relevance, forming a solid foundation for both wellness commercialization and continued pharmaceutical development.

CannaLean’s formulation has demonstrated strong lipid-lowering efficacy and is adaptable to consumer-friendly wellness formats, including:
