Dr. Yaakov Waksman – Chief Scientific Advisor
Dr. Yaakov Waksman
Chief Scientific Advisor, Gold Naturals
Dr. Yaakov Waksman is the Chief Scientific Advisor at Gold Naturals, where he guides the company's product formulations, cannabinoid research strategy, and scientific standards. His deep expertise in cannabinoid biochemistry and immunology ensures that every Gold Naturals product is grounded in peer-reviewed science — not marketing claims.
Dr. Waksman conducted postdoctoral research under Professor Raphael Mechoulam at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem — the pioneering scientist widely known as the "Father of Cannabis Research," who first isolated THC and CBD and discovered the endocannabinoid system. Working alongside Prof. Mechoulam, Dr. Waksman contributed to early foundational studies on how cannabinoids interact with biological systems.
Research Focus
Dr. Waksman's research has concentrated on the relationship between cannabinoids and the human immune system — an area directly relevant to the relief and recovery benefits at the core of Gold Naturals' product line. His work in endocannabinoid pharmacology helps inform how Gold Naturals formulates its full-spectrum hemp products for targeted wellness support, including muscle and joint relief, sleep, and stress management.
Role at Gold Naturals
As Chief Scientific Advisor, Dr. Waksman reviews all product formulations, sourcing practices, and third-party lab results. He works closely with the Gold Naturals team to ensure that every product meets the highest scientific standards and delivers effective doses of CBD, CBG, CBN, and other beneficial cannabinoids. His involvement bridges the gap between academic cannabinoid research and real-world product development.
