In 2020 the global hearing aid market reported a value of $6.47 billion. By 2028 the same market is expected to reach $11.02. The growth is expected due to the innovations being made by companies like InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND). There are currently an estimated 70 million Americans who experience some form of hearing-related problem. InnerScope Hearing Technologies is a leading wholesale provider and direct-to-consumer business that has strategic partnerships with Walmart and Amazon Prime, and numerous other online and brick-and-mortar retail stores in the works. In addition, InnerScope was the first to market free self-check hearing screening kiosks and contract with national pharmacy chains, big-box retailers, and national and local grocery chains to deploy them throughout the U.S. In Addition, InnerScope recently launched its hearing aids and related hearing products on FSAstore.com, HSAstore.com, and WellDeservedHealth.com for the 70 million consumers enrolled in flexible spending accounts (“FSA”), health saving accounts (“HSA”), and employers’ health incentive programs.

The goal is to capture the attention of the many individuals who have hearing loss and have not had access to an audiologist. In addition, the commercials will increase awareness of the changes in access to over-the-counter (“OTC”) hearing aids and ultimately drive traffic to the company’s website. “The launch of our Hearing Loss Media Blitz Campaign could not have come at a better time,” said InnerScope Hearing Technologies’ CEO Matthew Moore (https://ibn.fm/EwNWq). The announcement of our launch came only a week after President Biden signed an executive order and made remarks on the necessity of hearing aids being made more affordable and accessible (https://ibn.fm/2sckI).

Simply Sonoma is a therapeutic-focused CBD company concentrating on sleep aids, gut health, pain/inflammation, as well as skin and beauty products.  The company has developed plant-based CBD infused products, centered around the agriculture of Sonoma County, California, known for its excellent wines, fruits, and veggies, and now the company aims to put it on the map for exceptional organic plant-based CBD infused, and research- backed formulations. It seems everyone is jumping on the CBD bandwagon these days, including Martha Stewart.  The market seems to be awash with companies that throw CBD up on the wall to see what sticks.  There really isn’t clear information regarding application, appropriate dosing, and efficacy.  Simply Sonoma intends to bring some clarity to the marketplace, with a focus on consumer education. The company founders of Simply Sonoma come from a long history in the healthcare industry, as well as the hospital sector.  Company executives have worked at a variety of biotechnology companies including Aviron, the company that invented the flu inoculation that is sprayed up your nose.  Principals have experience working with personal genetic therapy companies as well as arthritis and inflammation products companies. From personal experience, and the trials and tribulations of friends and family, Simply Sonoma has taken notice of the medicinal utility of CBD and cannabis.   As scientists, they were initially skeptical, but seeing firsthand family member experiences with pain relief was very convincing. Additionally, there is now a significant amount of research that has been done on the endocannabinoid system in the human body, which seems to back up the anecdotal reports. The company is currently in a SEC CF raise to build out its portfolio. Why Simply Sonoma is Different:

• They are focused on formulations, driven by Scientific research
• They consider appropriate dosing & consumer education imperative to convey
• With different ways to consume, they offer alternatives to just gummies and tinctures.
• Simply Sonoma is producing CBD infused organic apple juices, CBD infused alcohol-free Sonoma County wine grape beverages, and more.

The company wants to bring alternatives to the traditional boring gummies and tinctures.  Simply Sonoma offers alternative products that are more lifestyle focused and round out the experience with education on how to effectively use CBD on a daily basis.  For instance, they have created an exceptional, alcohol-free CBDE Pinot Noir beverage that you can order in a restaurant as an after-dinner alternative to wine, cocktails, or coffee. Imagine relaxing in the evening without the side effects of alcohol with a beverage that comes in a half wine bottle size (375 ml)!

• This year has also seen the launch of the second stage of manufacturing of Ibogaine for use in psychedelic clinical research
• Mind Cure also continues to strengthen its proprietary digital therapeutics technology (“DTx”), iSTRYM
• All of Mind Cure’s decisions thus far are designed to help the company achieve overall growth and fulfill its vision of easing suffering, increasing productivity, and enhancing mental health

Mind Cure Health (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) is regarded as a diversified life sciences company that is at the forefront of the mental health industry. The company’s current focus is on developing digital therapeutics, researching psychedelic compounds, and innovating and commercializing new ways to improve and promote healing for individuals dealing with mental health challenges. In a move to grow its market presence and overall brand equity, Mind Cure has embarked on an aggressive plan, firstly with strengthening its advisory board and filing for new provisional patents for its fully synthetic line of products. So far, in 2021, the company has expanded its product line with the launch of the second stage manufacturing of Ibogaine (https://ibn.fm/Jield). Ibogaine is a psychoactive substance present naturally in the roots of the African iboga tree. The company is researching the substance’s potential to treat traumatic brain injury (“TBI”). In January 2021, Mind Cure ushered the new year by announcing an amended agreement with a syndicate of underwriters to grow the size of an earlier-announced bought deal financing. This was a big move for the company that saw a growth in its valuation, with the proceeds from the offering used to further its agenda for product research, development, and expansion (https://ibn.fm/QQM4Y). In August, Mind Cure announced the appointment of Jerry White into the company’s advisory board (https://ibn.fm/TlNu4). For an individual recognized globally for his efforts in engaging large audiences to power global movements and a co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, this was a big move for Mind Cure.

• Flora Growth Corp. is a global cannabis production and distribution company that has created a premium house of brands which supplying its cannabis products for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, natural wellness, hemp textiles, and food and beverages, with high-quality product at below-standard costs
• Flora Growth’s primary regulatory licensed operations are in Colombia, where the country’s government recently pursued a new openness in cannabis exports and domestic regulation by lifting bans on the sale and export of dried flower and cannabinoid ingestible products, permitting the sale of custom formulas for medical cannabis, and loosened marketing restrictions
• Flora Growth has been actively involved in M&A activity, the latest being an announced LOI to acquire 100 percent of luxury cannabis accessories producer Vessel Brand
• The company held an earnings call with investors on August 19 to discuss its first half financial results, provide operational updates, and M&A initiatives
• Flora Growth participated the same day in the SNN Network Summer Virtual Event, presenting information on the company’s activities to a variety of global investors

Global cannabis cultivator and product distributor Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC) is increasing awareness of its position within the international marketplace as well as recent agreements expected to boost its revenues. The company presented information about its operations to investors during the SNN Network Summer Virtual Event on August 19, followed by an earnings call for the first half of the 2021 fiscal year held the same day. Flora Growth is an internationally focused cannabis consumer packaged goods company that is headquartered in Canada, planning to move its offices to Miami, Florida in the United States at the beginning of next year, and is running its cultivation and processing operations in Colombia while anticipating a significant end user market in the EU, Australia and throughout Latin America. Colombia has been developing its cannabis industry following years of internal and external strife over illegal drug production in a country with nearly ideal growing conditions for the leafy green plant that has thrown off much of its stigma during the past decade and is now being developed for therapeutic uses in a number of countries. Last month, Colombian President Ivan Duque lifted a ban on exporting dried cannabis flower, which is generating excitement among investors (https://ibn.fm/rzLYN). Flora Growth’s expansive land package with unique onsite natural resources, use of a skilled workforce, and familiarity with Colombia’s legal machinery (Juan Manuel Galán Pachon, a former Colombian senator and the author of the Colombian medical cannabis law, sits on Flora’s board of strategic advisors) are giving it an advantage at a crucial point in history. Colombia had begun allowing dried cannabis to be exported as medicinal oils or extracts, but the new decree allows growers to supply cannabis raw materials for use in a variety of different market segments on the international stage, while also enhancing accessibility to a much more robust domestic and regional market. At the August 19 SNN Network Summer Virtual Event, Flora Growth was among 60 small cap, micro cap and nano cap companies participating in webcast presentations to investors on the global stage over the course of three days (https://ibn.fm/HQM1N). Flora Growth’s presentation was scheduled at 2:30 p.m. EDT, with the investor call following at 4:30 p.m. EDT. (https://ibn.fm/QM5wd). The investor call included financial results, operational updates, and executive commentary on the company’s recent growth and on M&A initiatives that have been announced since Flora Growth’s Nasdaq Capital Market listing in May, followed by a Q&A. The latest planned acquisition was announced Aug. 17, when Flora Growth’s management released news that the company has signed an LOI to acquire 100 percent of Vessel Brand Inc., a California company with a “lineup of high-end dry-herb accessories and vape pen batteries, bespoke product programs for brands, and decades of go-to-market experience,” according to the announcement (https://ibn.fm/FNuVe). “Our mission is to deliver value for our shareholders through the manufacturing and sale of premium cannabis brands and products, and we believe that the best way to achieve that goal is to operate responsibly and sustainably,” Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan, Director and Lead Scientific Advisor of Flora, stated in another company news release (https://ibn.fm/tnCJL). The financial call webcast will be archived and available on the company’s website. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FloraGrowth.ca.

• Company signed agreement with Premier Distribution Services to distribute entire Alkaline88(R) bottled water line
• PDS network includes more than 800 gyms, sports nutrition stores, personal training studios and smoothie bars
• “Great partnership for both parties,” says WTER CEO

The Alkaline Water Company (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER) continues its pattern of steady success with its most recent distribution announcement: the company has signed an agreement with Premier Distribution Services (“PDS”) to distribute WTER’s entire Alkaline88(R) bottled water line to more than 800 gyms, sports nutrition stores, personal training studios and smoothie bars (https://ibn.fm/DNdlg). The company, now sitting atop the list of the largest independent alkaline water companies in the country, has seen consistent growth for the past seven quarters. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the company as Premier Distribution Services will be carrying all of our Alkaline88 bottled waters in coolers across the country,” said Ricky Wright, president and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “It will help us introduce and drive the trial of our new 2-liter, aluminum and flavor-infused SKUs. It will also allow for the chilled on-premise purchase of the country’s favorite premium gallon water, Alkaline88. This is a great partnership for both parties. PDS’s clients will be able to offer health-conscious gym-goers the Smooth Hydration(TM) of Alkaline88, the Clean Beverage(TM). While PDS continues to execute their growth plan, we’ll expand with them in health and fitness venues across the country.” With distribution centers in Florida, Nevada and Texas, PDS is preparing to open new centers in the South and Midwest. The company’s short-term strategic plan is projected to more than double its existing locations before the end of the year. The growth that WTER anticipates from its PDS partnership aligns nicely with the increased brand awareness and product demand the company expects to see as it rolls out its newest marketing campaign. “As we plan to mobilize our first broadly distributed traditional marketing campaign with Shaquille O’Neal later this year, more and more people will be looking for our brand as their go-to choice to rehydrate during their workouts,” said Wright. “The timing couldn’t be any better.” Basketball Hall of Famer and entertainment icon O’Neil joined the company earlier this year as an equity partner and board member; he also serves as a marquee brand ambassador for Alkaline88 (https://ibn.fm/w5w3b). “Shaquille O’Neal’s track record as a basketball champion and Hall of Famer has translated into similar successes in business and corporate partnerships. His reputation as an astute investor, larger-than-life brand partner, and phenomenal ambassador makes this partnership extremely exciting,” said WTER chairman Aaron Keay. “We want to welcome Shaquille to the company’s advisory board and believe his positive presence and global outreach will enable Alkaline88 to aggressively push our growth trajectory even faster.” Alkaline88 is known for its superior hydration with a perfect 8.8pH balance. The brand was developed to deliver a smooth taste that encourages consumers to drink more and fully hydrate, and the company is dedicated to purity, quality, and value. The water’s ingredient deck is simple, easy to understand, and free of buffers. Dubbed “the clean beverage,” Alkaline88 ionized water contains just two pure ingredients that customers trust — water and Pink Himalayan Rock Salt.

• The campaign, aimed at promoting Bloombox products and celebrating the release of Disney’s new adventure-filled film, Jungle Cruise, will feature the launch of exotic plants, a treasure hunt, and a social media campaign
• According to PlantX CEO Lorne Rapkin, the collaboration legitimizes the company’s presence in the plant-based space, supporting the fact that it is indeed a true player in the space
• The company considers the partnership an opportunity to celebrate plants and their integral role and impact across the film industry

In a recent interview with Steve Darling from Proactive, newly appointed PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) CEO Lorne Rapkin noted that the company has accelerated its position thus far in part through exciting, accretive acquisitions. These acquisitions have provided “a really nice covering of all different verticals currently, and now we are just looking to enhance that” (https://ibn.fm/peOcp). In what appears to be a fulfillment of the commitment to enhance coverage, PlantX recently announced a partnership between its wholly owned subsidiary, Bloombox Club Limited (“Bloombox”), a UK-based e-commerce platform that sells and delivers indoor plants, and The Walt Disney Company Limited, a UK-headquartered subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS). The partnership encompasses a new co-branded campaign to promote Bloombox products and celebrate the release of Disney’s new adventure-filled film, Jungle Cruise (https://ibn.fm/91MgE). As part of the campaign, Bloombox will promote the film’s release by providing exotic plants that go hand in hand with the film, including a new Amazonian plant collection that features Jungle Cruise-inspired terrariums. Bloombox will also give members of its wellness community access to a 10% discount – through the code “JUNGLE10” – on its Amazonian plants, including Jungle Cruise-inspired terrariums, snaky trailing plants, and exotic trees. The campaign will also include a “Hunt for the Healing Tree” treasure hunt on Bloombox’s website, as well as promotion on social media. “Bloombox’s collaboration with Disney is truly a momentous opportunity to celebrate plants and their integral role and impact across the film industry,” commented PlantX Founder Sean Dollinger. “We are beyond thrilled to have Disney’s support in sharing the Bloombox exotic plant collection with our community.” Bloombox CEO Laura Dinnage noted that the company, which believes that connecting with nature is invaluable for all ages, was excited to get involved with Disney’s campaign and introduce a new generation to plants. She further intimated that the new Jungle Cruise-inspired terrarium is the perfect activity for kids this summer and that the company has many more exotic plants that have just launched at Bloombox. “It’s so exciting for us at the company, in the first 18 months of being in operation, to have a company like the largest entertainment company in the world, Disney, to really want to partner with a company like PlantX. It legitimizes our presence in the plant-based space,” Lorne noted in the Proactive interview. Lorne further stated that while PlantX has also partnered with other great vendors and leaders in the e-commerce space, including Walmart (NYSE: WMT) and Hudson’s Bay, this specific partnership with Disney buttresses the fact that the company is indeed a true player in the plant-based space. PlantX, a high-growth technology company, is a multifaceted marketplace providing consumers all things plant-based ranging from an efficient e-commerce experience, brick-and-mortar stores, and a home delivery system for recipes, meals, products, and more.

The Delic Ecosystem The Delic Ecosystem covers three main areas: media, health, and science. The media focus is educating and motivating the masses through a variety of digital platforms, like Delic’s Reality Sandwich digital magazine, a free public education platform providing psychedelic guides, news and ‎culture (1.4+ million page views in 2020 and 54k social media followers across all platforms); Meet Delic, the first-ever psychedelic wellness summit and the premier psychedelic wellness event based in Las Vegas (over 2,000 live attendees and 5,000+ email subscribers); and Delic Radio (over 43 episodes and 100k total streams). Delic has also been featured in numerous media outlets like Forbes, NBC News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Daily Beast, High Times, and The Dr. Drew Podcast. The focus of Delic’s health operations is the most accessible psychedelic treatments that can help billions of people live happier lives. Delic does this through one of the largest ketamine clinic chains in the country, Ketamine Infusion Centers (“KICs”), a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of Arizona that runs three ketamine clinics located in Bakersfield, California, and Phoenix, Arizona. Its management team has over 15 years of experience in the clinic and medical space, scaling and operating over 20 clinics, with a plan to open 10 more clinics in the next 18 months. Together, these clinics have overseen 4,000+ treatments delivered to date. The focus of Delic’s science operations is developing IP and advanced extraction and testing facilities that are the backbone of the legal market. Delic carries this out through Delic Labs, a licensed cannabis and psilocybin research laboratory based in Vancouver. It’s the only entity licensed by Health Canada to exclusively focus on research and development of psilocybin vaporization technology. Founded by award-winning chemists, Delic Labs focuses on extraction optimization, analytical testing, and chemical process development to advance the cannabis and psilocybin industries. Health Canada gave it a Section 56 Exemption to work with psilocybin compounds, allowing the company to possess and research these products for development and quality control before they hit the market. Latest Acquisition – Homestead Book Company On March 4, 2021, Delic announced its acquisition of Seattle-based Homestead Book Company. Homestead is a legacy counterculture distributor of psychedelic media. It’s also the creator of one of the first self-contained psilocybin mushroom grow kits. The acquisition of Homestead is an exciting one, as it shows how Delic is increasing accessibility to this nascent industry within regulated jurisdictions. Homestead has sold tens of thousands of mushroom kits globally and was one of the earliest distributors for High Times and many other counterculture publications. The Homestead acquisition allows Delic to increase its product offerings on its website, Reality Sandwich, which recently hit a record for average monthly traffic of over 200,000 unique visitors and over 2.6 million active readers in 2020.
