Frequently Asked Questions

What is MAINTAIN™?
MAINTAIN™ is a full-spectrum hemp and frankincense oil tincture designed to provide ongoing cellular wellness support.* It combines cryogenically extracted full-spectrum hemp, frankincense essential oil, and nano MCT oil in an easy-to-use liquid formula. MAINTAIN™ was developed as a maintenance-level companion to ONCO-ADJUNCT™ Pathway 1™, making it an option for individuals whose healthcare practitioners recommend continued nutritional support following a more intensive Pathway protocol.*
How is MAINTAIN™ different from Pathway 1™?
MAINTAIN™ and Pathway 1™ share the same basic 1:1 approach, combining full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids with frankincense. The important difference is concentration and intended level of support. A 2.5 mL serving of Pathway 1™ provides 156.25 mg of total cannabinoids and 156.25 mg of frankincense, while a 1 mL serving of MAINTAIN™ provides 33 mg of total cannabinoids and 33 mg of frankincense. Pathway 1™ is also more concentrated: it provides 62.5 mg each of cannabinoids and frankincense per mL, compared with 33 mg each per mL in MAINTAIN™. For that reason, Pathway 1™ is the more concentrated formula within the ONCO-ADJUNCT™ Pathway System, while MAINTAIN™ was developed to provide a lower-level option for ongoing maintenance support.*
If MAINTAIN™ contains the same types of ingredients as Pathway 1™, why wouldn't I just use MAINTAIN™?
The formulas are related, but they aren't equivalent. Pathway 1™ provides substantially more full-spectrum hemp cannabinoids and frankincense at its labeled serving—and nearly twice the concentration of each ingredient per milliliter. It was formulated for the more intensive, practitioner-guided nutritional support provided by the ONCO-ADJUNCT™ Pathway System.* MAINTAIN™, as its name suggests, is designed for a different role: ongoing maintenance-level support rather than simply serving as a less expensive substitute for Pathway 1™.* If you are following an ONCO-ADJUNCT™ protocol, your healthcare practitioner can help determine when Pathway 1™ is appropriate and when transitioning to MAINTAIN™ makes sense for your wellbeing.
How is MAINTAIN™ different from UltraHemp™?
Although both products contain full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids, they are formulated for different purposes. MAINTAIN™ combines full-spectrum hemp with frankincense and nano MCT oil and is designed primarily as a maintenance-level companion to Pathway 1™ for ongoing cellular wellness support.* UltraHemp™ combines full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids with ProtiSorb™ UltraCur® curcumin in capsule form. It is designed as an everyday wellness formula with an emphasis on joint and muscle mobility, healthy inflammatory balance, tissue comfort, and cellular wellness.* The best choice depends on why you are using the product and, particularly for MAINTAIN™, the recommendations of your healthcare practitioner.
Does MAINTAIN™ contain curcumin?
No. Unlike UltraHemp™, MAINTAIN™ does not use curcumin as one of its primary active ingredients. Its formula centers on full-spectrum hemp-derived compounds and frankincense essential oil, delivered as a liquid in nano MCT oil. If you are specifically looking for the combination of full-spectrum hemp cannabinoids and highly bioavailable curcumin, UltraHemp™ may be the more appropriate Ultra Botanica formula.*
Why does MAINTAIN™ contain frankincense?
Frankincense has a long history of traditional use and contains naturally occurring bioactive compounds that have been studied for their effects on cellular and inflammatory signaling. In MAINTAIN™, frankincense essential oil complements the full-spectrum hemp extract to support normal cellular function and healthy cell proliferation.*
What does "full-spectrum hemp" mean?
Full-spectrum hemp extract retains a range of naturally occurring compounds from the hemp plant rather than isolating a single cannabinoid. These can include multiple cannabinoids along with naturally occurring terpenes and other plant compounds. MAINTAIN™ uses cryogenically extracted hemp to help preserve these naturally occurring constituents.
What does cryogenic extraction mean?
Cryogenic extraction uses very low temperatures during processing to help preserve delicate compounds naturally present in hemp. This is especially useful for protecting cannabinoids and aromatic terpenes that can be affected by heat and conventional processing.
What does MAINTAIN™ support?
MAINTAIN™ is formulated to support ongoing cellular wellness and normal processes involved in healthy cell division, proliferation, and differentiation.* It is intended as nutritional support rather than as a treatment for any disease.
Is MAINTAIN™ only for people who have used Pathway 1™?
MAINTAIN™ was specifically formulated as a maintenance-level companion to Pathway 1™, but whether it is appropriate for an individual depends on their health goals and circumstances. Because MAINTAIN™ is part of the broader ONCO-ADJUNCT™ approach, we recommend discussing its use with a knowledgeable healthcare practitioner—particularly if you are undergoing medical treatment or have a diagnosed medical condition.
Is MAINTAIN™ intended to prevent cancer from returning?
No. MAINTAIN™ is a dietary supplement designed to provide nutritional support for normal cellular processes.* It has not been shown to prevent cancer recurrence and should not be used as a substitute for medical surveillance, treatment, or other recommendations from your healthcare team.
Does MAINTAIN™ contain THC? Will it cause a positive drug test?
MAINTAIN™ contains full-spectrum hemp extract, which means it contains naturally occurring trace amounts of THC within applicable legal limits. Because of this, MAINTAIN™ may cause a positive drug test. Anyone subject to workplace, athletic, military, legal, or other drug testing should take this into consideration before using the product.
Will MAINTAIN™ make me feel "high"?
Individual sensitivity to cannabinoids varies. Because MAINTAIN™ contains full-spectrum hemp-derived cannabinoids, some individuals may notice mild psychoactive effects. When beginning MAINTAIN™, follow the label directions and avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other safety-sensitive activities until you know how the product affects you.
How do I take MAINTAIN™?
The suggested use is 1 mL once or twice daily, or as recommended by your healthcare professional. Each full dropper is approximately 1 mL. Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Dispense the tincture under the tongue, hold for 2–3 minutes, and then swallow. When first using MAINTAIN™, consider beginning with an evening dose so you can become familiar with your individual response before adding daytime use.
Can I use MAINTAIN™ during medical treatment?
If you are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, surgery, or other medical treatment, discuss MAINTAIN™ with your treating healthcare team before use. MAINTAIN™ is a dietary supplement and is not intended to replace treatment, medication, medical monitoring, or any other therapy recommended by your healthcare providers.
Should I choose MAINTAIN™, Pathway 1™, or UltraHemp™?
The three products share some ingredients and areas of support, but they were designed for different purposes:
  • MAINTAIN™ — Maintenance-level cellular wellness support using full-spectrum hemp, frankincense, and nano MCT oil.*
  • Pathway 1™ — More intensive, practitioner-directed cellular support within the ONCO-ADJUNCT™ Pathway System.*
  • UltraHemp™ — Everyday mobility and cellular wellness support combining full-spectrum hemp cannabinoids, combined with ProtiSorb™ curcumin.*
If you are using the ONCO-ADJUNCT™ Pathway System or are undergoing medical treatment, work with your healthcare practitioner to determine which product is appropriate for you.
