Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (LXRP) (CSE:LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) and NeutriSci International Inc. (the “Company” or “NeutriSci”) (TSX-V: NU, Frankfurt-1N9) are pleased to announce the successful development and initial trial of the industry’s first zero-sugar cannabinoid / pterostilbene edible tablet utilizing both Neutrisci’s and Lexaria’s proprietary and patented technologies.
Neutrisci’s proprietary pterostilbene tablet formula was used to produce the world’s first pterostilbene / cannabidiol (CBD) rapid melt edible product offering the benefits of Lexaria’s patented CBD conjugation technology. The market-ready tablet offers improvements in taste, rapidity of onset, and strength of effect due to greater bioavailability, as had been originally hypothesized.
After trial batch formulation and manufacturing was completed, observational human tests supported that the user will experience the effects faster and last longer while utilizing smaller amounts of cannabinoid than competing products. The above noted benefits offer manufacturing efficiencies over competing products, thus potentially increasing comparative profitability.
NeutriSci and Lexaria confirm the companies expect to officially bind the JV agreement to market and commercialize a line of edible products using CBD derived from full spectrum hemp oil, which is federally legal in the United States, to be followed by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) versions through distribution programs with both existing and planned new strategic partners. With successful first-stage formulation and human evaluation completed, the companies expect to conclude a working JV structure as soon as possible to financially capitalize on this unique opportunity.
“This joint venture is a demonstration of the rapid innovation occurring in the cannabis industry,” commented Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Bioscience. “We are excited to work with NeutriSci; to combine both technology and form factor to develop healthy cannabinoid products to be sold within NeutriSci’s international distribution network.”
“We are very pleased with the results of this product formulation and observational trial, as the initial results have be invaluable in helping NeutriSci open dialogue with several of the world’s largest CBD manufactures and distributors,” commented Glen Rehman, President of NeutriSci International. “The idea to use our sublingual tablet and form factor to create a new line of zero-sugar and dose-controlled cannabinoid edible products will become a reality.”
Following the recent approvals for recreational use in certain US states, industry researchers have reported that the legal cannabis market could exceed $20 Billion by 2020.
