Vertical Wellness

Vertical Wellness was a private U.S. health and wellness company focused on hemp-derived cannabinoid consumer products rather than prescription biopharma development. The company operated a vertically integrated model spanning cultivation, production, branding, sales, and retail, and marketed a portfolio of CBD-oriented wellness brands across categories such as beauty, fitness, pet products, beverages, and general wellness. Reported brands associated with the company included kathy ireland Health & Wellness, Taos, Lap Dog, Par5, Halogenix, Wingra Farms, Neutrate, USMCC, Hemp-Moji, AntiDos, GoldQ, Just Live, and Organic Candy Factory. Vertical Wellness was founded in 2019, headquartered in Agoura Hills, California, and later merged with or was acquired by CanaFarma in June 2021. It should be classified as a cannabinoid consumer health company, not a traditional drug-development biotech or pharma company.
