Curragha, County Meath, Ireland, Dec 19, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - 2020 has been a very difficult year for many people. The uncertainty and fear caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy, have meant people have started to look at alternative products to help manage stress and anxiety.One of the areas that have seen a huge increase in interest has been CBD products.

Before launching Greenheart, Paul and Mark spent years researching extraction methods to produce the most effective CBD products for the end consumer, with full traceability from "seed to shelf".Once the production model w...
