Our Story

who we are

PanGenomic is a public benefit company, redefining mental health

We are PanGenomic, and our mission is to improve the health and wellness of people through a technology platform that identifies plant-based solutions tailored to the health profile of every individual.

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. But the pharmaceutical industry is structured to find a pill for every health condition. PanGenomic believes a more personable and natural approach is needed to address mental health challenges.

Our self-care platform is designed to provide the necessary tools for keeping your mind and body in sync. We give you the insights, information, and understanding and let you take it from there.

We believe the pursuit of profit can be aligned with effecting positive change for people and the planet. To meet this vision, PanGenomic registered as one of Canada’s first public benefit corporations.
