• Health diagnostics technology innovator Avricore Health has introduced its HealthTab platform as a means of improving patients’ ability to monitor their health conditions through point-of-care testing under the guidance of trained pharmacists
• HealthTab uses partnerships with molecular testing device makers to establish rapid molecular testing services in pharmacies, including the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy network in Ontario
• The initial rollout has taken place in 15 Shoppers pharmacies, with rapid scaling planned to achieve more than 600 locations by the end of 2023
• HealthTab’s diagnostics platform is designed to be high quality with appropriate approvals and certifications, helping patients to avoid delays in lab result turnaround
• The COVID pandemic has exposed weaknesses in lab result turnaround time capacity, but Avricore’s testing offers solutions that include COVID infection analysis under a new agreement

The unexpected advent of the COVID-19 global pandemic last year taxed health response infrastructures on numerous fronts as the rapidly spreading SARS-COV-2 virus caused an influx of sick and dying patients at hospitals struggling to keep up with demands for intensive care. The health emergency exposed weaknesses in the diagnostic ecosystem, as well. Once testing protocols were developed, health experts still struggled to get labs the necessary resources and labs struggled to turn around test results in a timely fashion (https://ibn.fm/gdfiR). By November, many labs were reporting they had improved turnaround times for COVID results to one-to-two days, but as case numbers began a winter surge in the United States and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) threatened to cut its payments to slow labs, lab professionals braced for new obstacles to timely reporting (https://ibn.fm/ppGHh). Those challenges persist, particularly affected by the ebb and flow of COVID case rates during the current pandemic climate. The Baltimore Sun reported this month that a new increase in test demand as COVID infections rise and a variety of business and government institutions mandate testing is again threatening turnaround times and may, as a result, create an unintended increase in outbreaks if those left waiting for lab results fail to quarantine (https://ibn.fm/5a56Q). Pharmacy services developer Avricore Health (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) is helping to tackle the problem head-on with the rollout of its Point of Care Testing ecosystem that encourages patients to get lab-quality results for COVID and other illnesses at local pharmacies, with the results then shared seamlessly to patients, medical professionals and researchers in real time without compromising health privacy. Avricore’s flagship HealthTab platform establishes the interlocking data connections, drawing on partnerships with Abbott Diagnostics and Abaxis Global Diagnostics for the technological interfaces that are lab-grade instruments compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and European Conformitè Europëenne (“CE”) standards and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certification (https://ibn.fm/HE5Ei). Abbott’s trademarked ID Now molecular testing instrument is capable of a molecular test for COVID-19, as well as other common infectious respiratory illness pharmacies treat, such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (“RSV”), influenza A and B, and strep.  This allows pharmacies to identify, treat share information quickly and accurately with respect to these illnesses, add to the company’s trademarked Afinion 2 device for testing for heart disease and diabetes data in use through HealthTab (https://ibn.fm/ftWiG). “With ID Now(TM) on the HealthTab(TM) network in community pharmacy, patients can know what they have and get focused treatment and prevent spread through better information,” Avricore CEO Hector Bremner stated in the company’s announcement about the device. HealthTab’s initial rollout has taken place on a limited basis through the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy network based in Ontario, Canada, with the simple blood-testing protocol under a trained pharmacist’s guidance available in 15 stores (https://ibn.fm/janUn). The company plans to quickly expand its pharmacy location buildout to 600 stores by late 2023 with EBITDA pushing profits into the positive territory by next summer (https://ibn.fm/WoSFc). The ultimate aim of Avricore’s services is to increase patients’ wellness, with better awareness leading to better care and better care producing better outcomes. On Sept. 13, Avricore announced it has retained Oak Hill Financial Services Inc. to provide services such as drafting marketing materials and increasing Avricore’s visibility through Oak Hill’s Canadian investor network. “We are really excited by Oak Hill’s track record of success in our sector, and they share our passion for the mission behind our core business. I’m confident in their team’s abilities to help us achieve our market-based goals,” Bremner stated (https://ibn.fm/3BBDY). For more information, visit the company’s website at www.AvricoreHealth.com.

• Dozy Mmobuosi, CEO and co-founder of Tingo Mobile, aims to accelerate digital commerce in Agritech and Fintech verticals across Africa
• Mmobuosi spearheaded the design and launch of Nigeria’s first SMS banking solution and has led Tingo’s growth to more than $600 million in annual revenue
• Tingo’s innovative mobile Agritech and Fintech platforms and credit solutions bolster commerce, connect markets and provide mobile banking services
• Due to growing need and demand, Mmobuosi expects Tingo Mobile to become the continent’s leading Agri-Fintech business powered through smartphone technology

Dozy Mmobuosi founded Tingo Mobile in 2001 to bring mobile technology and Fintech solutions to the unbanked rural areas in Nigeria. Mmobousi’s first Fintech endeavor was a revolutionary SMS banking solution which represented the first mobile payment platform in Nigeria which remains in use today. Mmobuosi’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident even in his youth when he was threatened with expulsion for selling “provision commodities” while in secondary school in Nigeria. He even cleaned and packaged used clothing for re-sale while home on holiday. From those humble beginnings he began to promote concerts and events and eventually created, Naijafans, the only Nigerian-focused social media platform at the time. Along the way he managed to earn advanced degrees, holding a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in political science and economics, respectively, from Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, and a Ph.D. in rural advancement from Universiti Putra Malaysia. Fast forward a few decades, and Mmobuosi, now 43, has brought his company, Tingo (OTCQB: IWBB), public in a deal valued at $3.7 billion.

Mmobuosi headed a team of more than 120 Chinese and Nigerian engineers in the construction of two mobile phone assembly plants in Nigeria, to produce and distribute 20 million phones across the country. Tingo connects farmers to markets, services and resources via Nwassa, its digital Agritech marketplace platform that commenced operations in 2020. More recently, Mmobuosi directed the launch of a beta version of TingoPay – a B2B and B2C fintech app which will provide financial services to users inside and outside of agriculture which includes mobile wallets, payment processing and access to specialist lenders, insurers and pension products. Mmobuosi also plans for Tingo to soon roll out a blockchain-based solution that will empower frictionless trade across borders in Africa. This innovation and market-proven model give Tingo the ability to deliver the same service model across all of Africa and transform the continent with Agri-Fintech solutions powered through smartphone technology. Tingo intends to become a truly Pan-African company with global reach that modernizes the continent by providing a complete digital ecosystem to facilitate financial interaction and deliver disruptive micro-finance solutions. Digitally connecting the agricultural value chain that represents such a large share of Africa’s economy could easily be the impetus to democratizing commerce and propelling the continent into the 21st century. Through Tingo Inc., Dozy Mmobuosi is committed to delivering Agri-Fintech, telecommunications and market access to millions of farmers, consumers and other key players across Africa.

• States that have already legalized cannabis are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery
• Article reports that delivery services can “help surge revenue for retailers that jump in to take advantage”
• Earlier this year, SGMD launched a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products

According to a recent article, states that have already legalized cannabis, such as California, are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery (https://ibn.fm/AGyL4). This is great news for Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), an innovator in the dynamic California cannabis scene with majority control and ownership of cannabis delivery service Nug Avenue, based in Southern California and providing hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay, Cookies and more. “Just in January of 2019, California legalized statewide cannabis delivery,” noted the article, titled “The Hottest Revenue Stream in Cannabis” and released by High There, the largest cannabis social network. “This removed the previous regulations that prevented the legal access to cannabis delivery throughout roughly 70% of the state. . . . As of January 19, cannabis delivery services can reach almost any address in California – and this includes the areas where retailers are still banned from opening a storefront. “Landmark states that have already legalized cannabis, like California, are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery,” the article continued. “Since January 19, the promise for delivery being the next wave in cannabis commerce is becoming obvious.  What many are considering the next trend for cannabis business, delivery services can help surge revenue for the retailers that jump in to take advantage.” The article noted that the cannabis industry is already a record $10 billion and climbing, even with cannabis prohibition still in place in much of the country.  “A particularly explosive section of this industry is almost exclusively the new cannabis delivery sector,” the article stated. “In fact, according to Statista.com, 44% of medical marijuana users across the U.S. regularly used a cannabis delivery service to buy their bud.  With legalization only having ramped up since then, it’s likely the numbers have only continued to increase, making the market ripe for cannabis delivery.” Earlier this year, Sugarmade acquired a 70% stake in Nug Avenue, a Lynwood, California-based cannabis delivery operation, and launched a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products (https://ibn.fm/Yn6Jj). “We strongly believe the LA delivery market is the prime spot for expansion of our business,” said Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan.  “California is the world’s sixth-largest economy, and LA County is by far the most significant driver, with over 25% of the state’s population.  The Lynwood, California, site is optimal, as it is located along one of the major distribution freeways, allowing drivers to efficiently reach the more than 15 million consumers that live within a 30-mile radius of the new location. We plan to make a big impact on the LA cannabis delivery marketplace.” Sugarmade Inc. is a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. In addition to its financial interest in the BudCars brand, SGMD’s brand portfolio includes NUG Avenue, CarryOutsupplies.com and SugarRush.

• Nemaura’s flagship product, sugarBEAT(R), is a wearable, non-invasive and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (“CGM”) designed for people with diabetes and prediabetes
• sugarBEAT received CE mark clearance in May 2019, allowing it to be marketed and sold within the European Union, and Nemaura has submitted a premarket approval application to the U.S. FDA
• Nemaura continues to build a world-class management team
• Nemaura plans to launch a direct to consumer metabolic health program in 2021, using its glucose monitoring platform at the core of the program
• Nemaura has several patents (both filed and pending) and substantial trade secrets covering its technology platform
• The company has orders in the U.K. for 200,000 sugarBEAT sensors and a further 2 million projected over the next two years for the U.K. alone
• The company is positioned at the intersection of the global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59 billion by 2025, the $50-plus billion prediabetic market, and the wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness applications forecast to hit $60 billion by 2023

Nemaura Medical (NASDAQ: NMRD) is a medical technology company developing affordable diagnostic and digital tools for chronic disease management. Its flagship product, sugarBEAT(R), is a wearable, non-invasive and flexible Continuous Glucose Monitor (“CGM”) designed to help people with diabetes and prediabetes manage their glucose levels. Insulin users can adjunctively use sugarBEAT when calibrated with a finger-stick glucose reading. sugarBEAT consists of a daily disposable adhesive skin patch connected to a rechargeable transmitter with a smartphone app displaying glucose readings at five-minute intervals for periods of up to 24 hours. One of the great advantages of the product, apart from the fact that users no longer need to draw blood samples or prick their fingers, is that a person can wear the CGM patch on whatever day they choose. Existing CGM devices must be implanted under the skin. Wearable disposability is a unique feature of sugarBEAT and a world first, opening up vast potential for changing the way people manage their chronic disease conditions. sugarBEAT received CE mark clearance in May 2019, allowing it to be marketed and sold within the European Union as a Class 2b Medical Device. The company submitted a premarket approval (“PMA”) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2020 which is currently under review. Founded in 2011, Nemaura set out to develop a single platform technology to measure blood markers at the surface of the skin. Since then, the company has evolved with the creation of wearable technologies and digital health care solutions that encourage and empower people to take charge of their own health and well-being. Nemaura’s skin surface blood monitoring technology has allowed the company to create additional products, which are in the pipeline, such as Lactate Monitoring. Technologies Digital Solutions for Weight Loss and Potential Reversal of Type 2 Diabetes This is a digital program that comes with more than a decade of clinical evidence demonstrating excellent efficacy. The company has combined this with its glucose-monitoring platform to bring a product to market to help people with diabetes manage their condition and potentially reverse Type 2 diabetes. Glucose Monitoring Solutions for Diabetes Prevention and Reversal Over 420 million people worldwide are living with diabetes, and prediabetes cases total almost three times that number. Undoubtedly, diabetes is an urgent global health crisis. Combining clinical research with patient-friendly technology, Nemaura’s sugarBEAT product delivers a non-invasive, affordable and flexible method of blood glucose tracking for improved diabetes management. Continuous Lactate Monitoring for Athletic Performance (Non-Medical) Lactic acid is a key performance indicator for the body and a guide to how well muscles react to long term exertion and recovery. Well-trained athletes and those who regularly engage in sports are very efficient at faster lactate ‘recycling’ for extra energy (“ATP”). Nemaura expects to launch its lactate sensor to the sports and personal training market in 2022. Continuous Lactate Monitoring in Disease State (Medical) An increase in blood lactate levels is also a marker of critical disease states. Recent publications have indicated the presence of elevated lactate levels in patients with COVID-19 infection. Nemaura has developed a lactate sensor that is being integrated into the company’s platform, which will be submitted for regulatory clearance upon completion of requisite clinical studies. Continuous Temperature Monitoring for Viral Infection Detection and Disease Progression A person’s body temperature says a lot about their health. Several diseases, including COVID-19, are characterized by an increase in body temperature, so temperature monitoring is a vital tool in the detection, diagnosis and prevention of the spread of disease. Nemaura is expecting to submit this adaptation of the device for regulatory clearance in 2022. Market Opportunity Obesity and diabetes are two of the major drivers of the current chronic disease epidemic. According to the International Diabetes Federation, there are more than 463 million people living with diabetes worldwide. In the U.S., about 28,000 people are diagnosed with diabetes every week, and more than 34 million suffer from diabetes. Another 88 million Americans have prediabetes. Other industrialized countries show similar numbers based on their populations. In the U.K., 4.8 million people have diabetes, with another diagnosed every two minutes. In Germany, 9.5 million have diabetes, with almost half estimated to be undiagnosed and so at greater risk. On average, employers and insurers spend more than $9,000 annually on health care for an employee with diabetes, compared to $1,600 annually for a healthy employee. In the U.S. alone, more than $760 billion was spent on diabetes-related health care expenditures during 2019. Nemaura is positioned at the intersection of the global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59 billion by 2025, the $50-plus billion prediabetic market, and the wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness applications forecast to hit $60 billion by 2023. Management Team Dr. Faz Chowdhury has been CEO and chairman of the board of Nemaura Medical since 2013. He has more than 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry, taking products from concept to commercial launch. He is sole inventor on more than 100 granted and pending patents and has authored textbook chapters on nano-biosciences for Wiley and Elsevier.

• InMed Pharmaceuticals recently announced it has entered a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of BayMedica Inc.
• BayMedica is a private company that specializes in the manufacture and commercialization of rare cannabinoids
• Upon closing, the transaction will make InMed a global leader in the manufacturing of rare cannabinoids in addition to transforming it into a revenue-generating company
• Acquisition provides InMed with the complete flexibility across multiple manufacturing approaches

On September 13, InMed Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INM), a company developing cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical drug candidates and manufacturing technologies for pharmaceutical-grade rare cannabinoids, announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of BayMedica Inc., a US-based private company that specializes in the manufacture and commercialization of rare cannabinoids, in a stock-based transaction expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to various customary closing conditions (https://ibn.fm/ckdlh). Upon closing, the transaction will cement a relationship that began in late 2020 when InMed and BayMedica announced they had entered into a broad collaborative research agreement (https://ibn.fm/dpuuO). Under the terms of the 2020 agreement, InMed would undertake the preclinical investigation of multiple therapeutic compounds selected from BayMedica’s extensive library of proprietary cannabinoid analogs in addition to exploring the therapeutic potential of specific analog compounds in selected disease models. On its part, BayMedica would be given access to particular elements of IntegraSyn(TM), InMed’s proprietary platform for producing cannabinoids using novel proprietary enzyme(s), in order to assess the potential of one or more of InMed’s high-efficiency enzyme sequences in BayMedica’s systems for the production of cannabinoids in BayMedica’s catalog. This collaboration led to an announcement, issued June 29 this year, that InMed had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire 100% of BayMedica (https://ibn.fm/PBV55). At the time, InMed’s President and CEO, Eric A. Adams, noted that the existing collaboration had made it apparent that the two companies’ business models and capabilities could provide a platform to expedite their growth, as well as provide flexibility of multiple processes for the manufacturing of rare cannabinoids. “We believe that IntegraSyn, our pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing process, together with BayMedica’s revenue-generating, consumer-focused process, would create a powerful combination,” Adams added. Upon closing, the transaction, as detailed in the most recent announcement, will indeed create a powerful combination. It will make InMed a global leader in the manufacture of rare cannabinoids, with expertise in three distinct and complementary cannabinoid manufacturing approaches. InMed’s IntegraSyn combined with BayMedica’s synthetic biology and chemical synthesis capabilities will offer InMed the complete manufacturing flexibility to choose the most appropriate, cost-effective manufacturing method based on prevailing conditions. At the same time, the combined company will continue to explore the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and novel cannabinoid analogs for pharmaceutical drug development. It will also increase commercial sales of rare cannabinoids to the consumer health and wellness sector. “This is a transformative transaction for InMed. The acquisition gives us a breadth of synthetic cannabinoid manufacturing capabilities to deliver high quality, cost-effective rare cannabinoids for any segment of the market from consumer packaged goods (‘CPG’) to prescription pharmaceuticals,” said Adams. “BayMedica brings unparalleled cannabinoid manufacturing expertise in both chemical synthesis and biosynthesis together with industry veterans who have been pioneers in this space.” Adams further noted that the transaction will transform InMed into a revenue-generating company, offering value to its shareholders. BayMedica commenced the sale of Prodiol(R) cannabichromene (“CBC”), its initial rare cannabinoid product, in December 2019. Since then, the sales revenues have grown steadily, with the cumulative figure currently exceeding $2.5 million. BayMedica also boasts an industry-leading batch production of CBC, the ability to expand the capacity as market demand increases, and multiple high-value non-intoxicating rare cannabinoids in various stages of commercial manufacturing scale-up. As part of the agreement, InMed will issue 1.78 million of its common shares to BayMedica’s equity and convertible debt holders; any such issued InMed common shares will be subject to a six-month contractual hold period. Notably, however, the total number of InMed common shares issuable in the proposed transaction may be reduced depending on the findings of a financial review of BayMedica’s closing balance sheet (go through the press release for a more detailed breakdown of the terms of the transaction). Eric Adams and BayMedica CEO Shane Johnson will offer more information about this transaction in an Edison Research-hosted webinar slated for Thursday, September 16, 2020, at 11:00 AM ET. Listeners should also expect to hear more about InMed’s future developments. To register for the webinar, please visit (https://ibn.fm/RqKhJ).

• Pharmaceutical company Tryp Therapeutics is pursuing novel solutions to medical conditions with unmet needs, working to establish the efficacy and safety of the company’s trademarked synthetic psychedelic drug candidate
• The company’s products — TRP-8802 and TRP-8803 — aim to provide new therapies for select eating disorders with specific neurological causes, as well as pain and addition concerns
• Tryp is preparing Phase 2a and Phase 2b clinical trials and expects to advance its Psilocybin-for-Neuropsychiatric Disorders (“PFN”) platform in conjunction with research teams at the University of Florida and the University of Michigan
• The DEA recently recommended a significant increase in cannabis and psilocybin use in medical science research, and the White House has asked Congress to consider changing drug legislation to better address the use of those drugs in clinical research

Two years after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) declared the hallucinogenic substance psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy” to speed the process of the drug’s scientific clinical trials and reviews (https://ibn.fm/umfbQ), Michigan continues to cement its reputation as a hotbed for medicinal psychedelics advocacy and research, and proponents there believe society has reached a watershed moment for the substances’ acceptance. Law enforcement officials in the state’s Ann Arbor region have effectively decriminalized natural compounds with hallucinogenic properties deemed illegal under state and federal law (although not synthetic compounds such as LSD), and last month Ann Arbor’s City Council voted 10-0 to declare September “Entheogenic Plant and Fungi Awareness Month.” As a result, the city will celebrate a “sacred plant and mushroom festival” called Entheo Fest every September, beginning Sept. 19 (https://ibn.fm/1UXcX). The decisions highlight a growing cultural shift not unlike the transformation of cannabis’ stigma to a general acceptance of marijuana’s potential for therapeutic and recreational use when produced under quality constraints by recognized business enterprises in recent years. Earlier this month, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) proposed a huge increase in the production of marijuana and psilocybin for research purposes with the hope of accelerating new federally approved therapeutic medications (https://ibn.fm/6t5FB). The White House then issued a set of recommendations to Congress asking lawmakers to consider addressing addiction worries and proposals for new clinical research involving marijuana and psychedelics by changing the way select hallucinogenic substances are regulated (https://ibn.fm/dWPuE). San Diego-based Tryp Therapeutics (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF) is a pharmaceutical company focused on novel bioscience solutions for medical conditions with unmet needs, specifically oriented toward developing its synthetic psilocybin candidates through clinical trials that target chronic pain and select eating disorders. The company expects to soon launch a Phase 2a clinical trial to determine the efficacy of its psychedelic drug candidate TRP-8802 in treating Prader-Willi Syndrome (“PWS”), hypothalamic obesity eating disorder resulting from the removal of a brain tumor, and binge eating disorder. TRP-8802 will be used in combination with psychotherapy under professional care. “Ultimately, of course, we hope it will help people with overall eating disorders, but first we’re going to focus on people with specific neurologic causes of those eating disorders,” Dr. Jennifer Miller, the trial’s principal investigator, stated during an interview with The Dales Report in May (https://ibn.fm/7eX83). “Psychotherapy is an integral part of Tryp’s novel treatment methods to create the proper mindset for the neuroplasticity benefits of psilocybin to take full effect,” the company added in a news release last month (https://ibn.fm/ljJmr). “Participants will undergo preparatory psychotherapy sessions with trained therapists leading to two dosing sessions in the upcoming Phase 2a clinical trial for eating disorders”. Tryp Therapeutics then plans to proceed into Phase 2b clinical trials with drug candidate TRP-8803 to test the trademarked product’s ability to penetrate the natural blood-brain barrier and effectively respond to pain and addiction concerns.

Participants coping with mild to moderate hypertension reported up to an impressive average 23% decrease in blood pressure, relative to placebo, during the 24 hours. The study also showed that these individuals averaged a 7% drop in systolic pressure. Upon further analysis of the results, it was established that each of the three doses resulted in a slightly lower blood pressure level than the trough, which is usually the lowest concentration reached by a drug before the next dose is administered. This was mainly apparent during the quiet hours of sleep when most individuals are more prone to cardiac events. When making the announcement, Mr. Bunka noted: “Our 2018 study showed a slight reduction in blood pressure, but it was not awe-inspiring. This time, the average drop in blood pressure is larger, and it appears that the sequential doses are additive. We’ll investigate that further.” This clinical trial and the results from the study so far have prompted Lexaria into beginning an Investigational New Drug Application (“NDA”) filing with the FDA. The company plans to make the application, listing DehydraTECH CBD as a prospective registered pharmaceutical treatment for hypertension. DehydraTECH CBD is already patent granted in both the EU and in Australia, for treating heart disease. Going forward, Lexaria expects to stay consistent with its studies, with the hope of showing more positive results. The goal is to leverage both internal and external data on the effectiveness of DehydraTECH and even to possibly use the abbreviated 505(b)(2) NDA application to speed up timelines for approval. “If we can sustain these results, we could be looking at mega-drug status ($1 billion per year) in the hypertension market,” noted Mr. Bunka. “Our goal now is to put together a 4-week study, three doses per day, targeting a sustained drop in blood pressure. That could make us one of the most effective registered pharmaceutical treatments for hypertension in the world, with few if any unwanted side effects,” he added. Lexaria is currently focusing on undertaking the requisite procedures, having already established commercial success with its technology. Shareholders are optimistic about the company’s future, and for a good reason. The strides that Lexaria has made so far have brought it even closer to its DehydraTECH approval for hypertension treatment and management.
