My Formula C Story
Laney Bond - Founder of the COVID Care Group & COVID-19 Long Haulers Support Group
Hello, my name is Laney Bond and like many of you, I have been suffering from Long COVID symptoms for years now after contracting COVID-19 multiple times. If you’re experiencing brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and a whole other list of seemingly unrelated symptoms, you are not crazy. You are not alone. Long COVID is real - but I am here to tell you, you CAN get back into life!
Utilizing my clinical background as a nurse, I founded the covidCAREgroup, to increase awareness and to support the Long COVID community. The covidCAREgroup hosts the largest clinical support group on social media in the world, the COVID-19 Long Haulers Support Group on Facebook. In 2023, our global reach exceeded 24+ million people in 110 countries, all striving for Long COVID symptom management and recovery.
Throughout my Long COVID journey, I have done countless hours of research, tried many therapeutics, and scraped every corner of the internet searching for something… ANYTHING that would relieve even just a few of my symptoms.
It wasn’t until I discovered a company called Endourage when everything started to click.
They introduced me to a bodily system that every human and animal on the planet possesses called the Endocannabinoid System.
Think of this system as a command and control center, or the thermostat in your home. You could have the best windows, insulation, and heating/cooling equipment, but if you don’t have a thermostat to regulate everything automatically in the background, you would never be able to achieve a consistent comfortable living environment.
The Endocannabinoid System is your body’s thermostat, but instead of just regulating your temperature, it regulates every bodily system from your immune and nervous systems to your cardiovascular and reproductive systems and more.
When we get COVID-19, it knocks our Endocannabinoid System out of whack which negatively impacts the functioning of all other systems in our body. The medical team at Endourage theorized that if they could restore the Endocannabinoid System back to proper function, it should significantly improve Long COVID symptoms. To test this thesis, Michael Steward MD (an RNA virus specialist at Endourage) created a 100% plant-based therapeutic called Formula C and conducted an IRB approved clinical study.
This study tracked 9 of the most common Long COVID symptoms in Long COVID patients over a 56 day period. In the published results, Formula C improved all 9 symptoms over the first 28 days, and 8 out of 9 by day 56. Quality of life scores doubled in the first 28 days and tripled by day 56. There were no significant adverse events reported during the trial.
After getting to know the people at Endourage and going over all the data, I decided it was time for me to try Formula C. Finally, after years of searching for answers and trying everything under the sun, I can say without a doubt that Formula C is the only thing I’ve found that actually works.
The first thing I noticed was that I slept soundly through the whole night for the first time in years. My brain fog started lifting and became manageable. My energy improved and I was able to actually get up and out of the house to get my body moving. And the post-COVID anxiety got better. I could focus on work again. The best part was, it restored hope in me that I could dictate my life instead of letting Long COVID dictate it for me. But how was this all happening?
The key to Formula C’s success is that it doesn’t target your symptoms, it goes to the source of the symptoms by repairing your command and control center: The Endocannabinoid System. Once that is back in working order, everything else starts to resolve because they are all connected.
The primary active ingredients in Formula C are medicinal-grade, hemp derived terpenes. Terpenes are the natural aroma molecules that give all plants their smell. Hemp terpenes are unique and have a significant impact on the Endocannabinoid System. There are over 200 known terpenes and each of them has a different physiological impact on the body, so combining the correct terpenes together is essential to create an effective product. The terpenes in Formula C were specifically chosen by Dr Michael Steward to align with symptoms typical of Long COVID patients. In addition to terpenes, Formula C also has only trace amounts of THC and CBD, so it is 100% safe and not intoxicating. If you may be tested at work for THC or CBD, you will want to check with your HR department before starting. The hemp components in Formula C are Federally legal in the United States and Formula C may be used in any state without a prescription.
After my success with Formula C, I reached back out to Endourage and was able to secure a discount for anyone who finds their way to this page and wants to try it for themselves. Furthermore, Endourage has generously pledged to donate 20% of sales to the Covid Care Group to help support our community.
I am acutely aware of the exhaustion our community faces while experimenting with numerous treatments without finding relief. I conveyed this to the folks at Endourage and they are also providing a 30-day money-back guarantee should you decide to purchase the product and find it falls short of your expectations. I found it took a few weeks to take full effect, so don’t give up after just a few doses.
If you feel hopeless, frustrated, exhausted, and unsure of your future with Long COVID like I did, try Formula C. It changed my outlook on life and is helping more and more people suffering from Long COVID every single day.
How to take Formula C:
Place the sublingual drops under the tongue and hold them there for 60-90 seconds. For maximum absorption, hold off on food and drink for 15 minutes before and after taking.
If you have any tolerance issues or feel drowsy, reduce the amount.
In this video, a Long COVID doctor discusses dosing:
Using the recommended dosing for one month takes about 2 bottles. Most people will stay on for 3 to 4 months before titrating back down to 0.25 mL twice per day following the same schedule in reverse.

Symptoms that were studied include anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, dyspnea, cognitive function, participation in social activity and satisfaction with social activity.
Where does Formula C come from?
Formula C was created by a biotech firm called Endourage specifically for Long COVID research.
Formula C was tested for safety and efficacy in an IRB-approved Phase 4 Long COVID Human Trial.
The trial is posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov, and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Does Formula C help relieve Long COVID symptoms?
The trial showed Formula C improved 9 of 9 symptoms the first 28 days of the trial and improved 8 of 9 symptoms through 56 days (the 9th symptom of pain was not an issue for participants in the last 4 weeks).
The trial showed Formula C is safe.
No significant adverse effects occurred.
Participants reported their quality of life improved using a Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale.
Clinicians at hospitals and clinics recommending Formula C for Long COVID in 2023 report their observations are consistent with the published research findings.
What does Formula C do?
It targets the Endocannabinoid System, which regulates homeostasis at the cellular level throughout the body by producing human cannabinoids.
Research suggests that Long COVID symptoms are due in part to an impaired Endocannabinoid System.
Formula C introduces a specific formulation of plant cannabinoids, called phytocannabinoids, that uniquely support the stressed Endocannabinoid System.
Is Formula C a prescription drug?
No, Formula C is a 100% natural, hemp-derived therapeutic that may be obtained without a prescription.
Can I take Formula C with other medications?
Yes. Formula C has not been found to negatively interact with other medications
When your body starts to heal with Formula C, you may find that you don’t need as much of other medicines like SSRIs and anti-inflammatories.
Do not stop or change your prescription medicine dose without talking to your doctor first.
What are the active ingredients in Formula C?
Formula C is a therapeutic derived from hemp, which contains ~400 active ingredients spanning cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes.
Active ingredients are listed on the Formula C label, including beta-caryophyllene, cannabigerol, cannabidiol, myrcene, and less than .3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol.
Does Formula C have significant adverse effects?
No significant adverse effects have been reported by clinicians or clinical trial researchers.
Mild-modest grogginess has resolved by lowering the dose.
Can Formula C make you high?
Formula C is not intoxicating and non-habit forming because it has a low TCH concentration.
If I use marijuana or CBD recreationally, can I still take Formula C?
Yes. Formula C has a very low THC level and is not intoxicating, therefore, it does not affect recreational use.Can anyone with Long COVID symptoms take Formula C?
As Formula C has only been studied in adults, it is only recommended for adult use.
People that work for employers with incompatible policies where phytocannabinoids are concerned should resolve with employers before use.
Why are we hearing about Formula C now?
The research was completed and published in 2022, and 2023 was spent with specific Post Covid Care Center physicians evaluating Formula C.
In January 2024, Nurse Laney requested that Formula C be made available to the public and was granted permission to bring it to the covidCAREgroup Long COVID community.
Does Formula C work for everyone?
It works for most people, but not all.
Published research and clinician observations show it is safe for all, effective for many, and brings no significant adverse side effects.
How is Formula C dosed?
General dosing instructions are included with each shipment of Formula C.
Is Formula C covered by insurance plans?
Not currently, as it is too new and requires a unique review process as a non-drug therapeutic.
Formula C™ is also covered by most health savings accounts (HSA). HSA cards can be used to place an order.
Consumers referred by ProMedView and covidCAREgroup will receive discount pricing.
What about allergies?
Those allergic to coconut or hemp should not take Formula C.
Why is there a breastfeeding and pregnancy warning on the label?
Formula C was researched with adults only who were not pregnant or breastfeeding, therefore it is only recommended for adults who are not breastfeeding or pregnant, until further research is able to advise otherwise.
Why is there a California warning notice on the label?
California-Only State Regulation www.P65warnings.ca.gov, which pertains to disclosure of activities or product categories that may result in some exposure to any of more than 900 chemicals on a regulated list requires this statement.
Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol is listed and found in full-spectrum hemp in safe, non-intoxicating trace amounts (<3%) in complete compliance with the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill.
Should Formula C be kept in a dim, cool place?
Yes, most people store Formula C in the refrigerator ideally, or at room temperature in a dim place (e.g. cabinet, drawer, cupboard, pantry).
Heat degrades Formula C. Those living in a warm climate will want to retrieve Formula C from the mailbox or doorstep promptly when it arrives.
How is Formula C taken?
Place the Formula C dropper under tongue and expunge Formula C. Remove the empty dropper from tongue.
For 60 seconds let Formula C keep mouth closed and tongue relaxed on bottom of mouth while Formula C is absorbed into the blood stream under the tongue.
Avoid swallowing before the drops are held under the tongue, as the digestive system will break down the active components of Formula C before they is absorbed to the blood stream. Swallowing Formula C is safe.
Advanced clinical trial in progress
When you purchase Formula C you will receive an email inviting you to participate in the new advanced clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of Formula C in reducing Long COVID symptoms including brain fog, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
