H

OPEWELL JUNCTION, NY— Michael Fertucci, a trained chef and gourmet pastry chef, turned his culinary expertise to the world of CBD by founding Green Spectrums—a CBD & Hemp manufacturing company located in Hopewell Junction, NY. With the rising popularity of CBD in the past several years, Fertucci recognized the powerful health benefits that hemp-based products can have for people suffering from various conditions. He knew that his expertise in flavors and ingredients could bring a new approach to the emerging CBD industry. So, after working in the food and entertainment industry for 20 years, Fertucci founded Green Spectrums, a health and wellness brand. He earned licenses to formulate his unique products and is a certified specialist in terpenes, flavonoids, skincare formulation and CBD consulting. Fertucci hopes to destigmatize hemp and educate people about the powerful effects of CBD. The more people who can discover the health benefits of CBD, the more who may find a sense of relief and ease their mind. The Green Spectrums storefront and manufacturing facility opened in March of 2020, the same week that New York entered its first lockdown due to COVID. 2020 was a difficult year for small businesses everywhere, but that has not stopped Fertucci and his business from continuing to grow over the past year. Green Spectrums is a FDA-registered facility that recently received a cGMP-certification (Current Good Manufacturing Practice), meaning the business maintains a rigorous manufacturing standard to deliver the best possible products. Green Spectrums’ products offer a diverse array of Edibles, Topicals, Pet Products, Capsules and more. All products are made with simple, natural ingredients and always made with USA-sourced hemp. The Green Spectrums mission is to provide people with an alternative, natural path towards wellness. Fertucci wishes to educate people on the numerous health benefits of CBD.

The ECS works closely with the other physiological systems of the body. This includes the nervous, digestive, and immune systems as well as the brain and is why CBD can have beneficial effects on these varied parts of the body. The most popular reasons people take CBD is for easing anxiety, arthritis, reducing pain and inflammation, and supporting a more restful sleep.
