James S. Dorcely is a real estate developer, entrepreneur, and finance professional with more than 20 years experience.  Mr. Dorcely has managed Real Estate Lending Division at Citibank, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America. He left the corporate sector in 2019 to focus full-time on his business and investments.
In 2017, Mr. Dorcely invested in Ananta labs; A specialty R&D manufacturing facility dedicated to creating the best CBD and derivative products on the market selling direct wholesale to manufacturers in Cannabis formulations including inhalation, ingestible, topical and sublingual. 
 
Covid 19 forced James to reevaluate the importance of a body that is ready to defend itself.  Using daily plant-based solutions as part of a healthy lifestyle instead of medicine as a response to an existing problem became of utmost importance to him.  James transitioned out of his soley investor role at Ananta and began to create new formulas that spoke directly to the current need. Out of this, Supreme Health CBD was born. For the better part of two years, James and his partners have worked with leading scientists and experts in Cannabis to create a line of targeted tinctures to help us defend and support our bodies' systems.
