• China’s economy is the world’s second-largest
• Former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia says China is on the cusp of an incredible growth spurt
• Moxian contributes to and reaps rewards from China’s growth

China, the world’s second-largest economy, is on the cusp of an incredible growth spurt, says Stephen Roach, the former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia (http://dtn.fm/Y5iCU). In a recent CNBC interview, Roach stated, “The Chinese economy seems to be making remarkable progress in transforming itself into more of a consumer-based model… The wave of innovation in their private-based economy, anything from e-commerce to medical sciences, is really quite spectacular… [China’s] e-commerce share of total consumption is more than double ours [U.S.], and that gap is rising.”

Helping trigger this spectacular transformation and bridging e-commerce to brick and mortar retail is Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC). Moxian’s creative and socially interactive online platforms and mobile applications are moving the burgeoning Chinese consumer from online views to retail purchases at Moxian’s brick and mortar client locations. Moxian’s seductive social network integrates social media and business into a single platform that offers products, features and services that appeal to consumers, keeps them engaged and refers new customers.

The company’s ingenious and captivating online platforms and mobile applications, the Moxian+ User app and the Moxian+ Business app, allow businesses to interface with both new and existing customers. These online interactions provide each business the data to analyze consumer likes, dislikes and trends. Moxian’s platforms offer businesses the ability to create, manage and promote individualized customer loyalty programs, targeted advertising campaigns and special promotions. These interactions between users and Moxian’s merchant clients drive retail traffic into the brick and mortar locations and gives merchant clients the ability to study consumer behavior and custom tailor offerings to consumers.

Impressive by almost any standard, China’s GDP growth has hovered around seven percent the last several years. However, if, as the former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia predicts, a consumer driven “spectacular transformation” is under way in the Chinese economy, then China could easily see ten, 12, even 14 percent GDP growth as it did early this century. With the remarkable niche it has carved out, Moxian will no doubt contribute to and reap the rewards from this spectacular transformation.

• Connecting a global financial market to a private banking network
• A cloud-based financial platform for trading & settlement of depositary accounts
• Using blockchain technology to deliver secure financial transactions

Banking has come a long way from the time when moneychangers set up their tables in the marketplace. The technology then was minimal: paper records of bills of exchange and letters of credit. Today, technology dominates banking. More than a quarter (about 9,000) of Goldman Sachs’ 33,000 full-time employees are engineers and programmers, by one account (http://dtn.fm/dX51Z). Its CEO is on record as saying that Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) is a technology firm, a pointed indication of the extent to which information technologies have permeated modern banking. To serve this growing fintech market, California-based Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE) is rapidly developing a variety of innovative products. The company is offering state-of-the-art software solutions to fintech companies involved in processing money remittances, wire transfers, bill payments, business-to-business (B2B) payments, currency exchange, eWallet payments and other types of financial transactions.

Since its inception in 2009, Global Payout, Inc. has been a leading provider of comprehensive and customized prepaid payment solutions for domestic and international organizations distributing money worldwide. The company was founded by Jim Hancock, who has guided its evolution from a program management and consulting services company offering prepaid debit cards and electronic wallet products to the global, full-service payment platform it is today. Hancock is Global Payout’s current CEO and chairman. His 30 years of experience range over a variety of industries and include senior positions in investment banking, mergers and acquisitions, payment processing and telecommunications. For the last 14 years, he has successfully managed close to 40 custom-designed prepaid debit card programs. Hancock intends to leverage his vast array of contacts and in-depth knowledge of the payment industry in executing Global Payout’s new initiatives.

These began in 2014, when the company introduced its first online payment platform, called the Consolidated Payment Gateway (CPG). CPG allows its enterprise clients the capability to transfer money to international bank accounts, mobile accounts, and prepaid card accounts. The development of the CPG became the foundation for the introduction of the company’s present, state-of-the-art fintech payment system in 2016, which both expands the range of financial services available to clients and offers them reduced transaction costs.

In January 2017, Global Payout announced a licensing agreement with First American Electronic Payment Solutions, Inc., producer of an innovative software system for companies wishing to process money remittances, wire transfers, bill payments, B2B transactions, eWallet payments and transfers, currency exchanges and other types of financial transactions. This collaboration provides the backbone infrastructure that supports the company’s recently introduced Global Reserve Platform (GRP), a customizable, “banking-in-a-box” web-based platform. GRP offers the capability to execute the front-to-back office processing requirements of domestic/foreign exchange and international payment service providers and is expected to improve work flow, operational efficiencies, and global financial management for enterprises operating across the globe.

Global Payout is connecting this worldwide cloud-based financial services platform to traditional banking. The company holds majority control of ISBC Holdings, Ltd., the sole domestic and international management company for the International Sovereign Banking Corporation (ISBC). ISBC is a privately-owned sovereign nation bank to be held on the sovereign tribal land of the Wakpamni Lake Community, Oglala Sioux Tribe located at the Pine Ridge Tribal Reservation in South Dakota.

With such a spectrum of services, Global Payout can offer traditional banking and products to businesses that cannot access those services. For example, last year, the company announced that Marijuana Company of America (OTC: MCOA) had selected Global Payout as its financial solutions provider (http://dtn.fm/bM1ZE). Global Payout’s CPG and MoneyTrac prepaid solutions will enable MCOA to process membership fees and pay vendors, employees, and affiliates. MCOA members will be able to make purchases using an MCOA-branded prepaid card, reducing cash transactions and enabling online and mobile purchases. This significantly reduces the risk associated with operating a cash-only cannabis business and the legal perils associated with the substance.

• India has world’s second-largest population at 1.35 billion
• India is largest under-banked population in the world
• MoneyOnMobile services under-banked with digital mobile payment network
• 39 percent monthly compounded revenue growth in Q1

With an average growth rate of around seven percent over the last two decades, India’s economy is the sixth-largest in the world measured by GDP and the third-largest by purchasing power. In spite of its economic prowess, the Indian consumer market is the largest under-banked population in the world. Banking services are scarce and woefully inadequate, forcing cash transactions and chocking consumer purchasing power. A prime example of scarce banking services is India’s paltry 200,000 ATMs servicing its 1.35 billion citizens. India would need two million more ATMs in order to have the same ratio of ATMs to people as in the U.S.

Since 2010, MoneyOnMobile, Inc. (OTCQX: MOMT) has been delivering needed services to India’s vast un-banked and under-banked population. MoneyOnMobile is a digital mobile phone payment network that allows consumers to deposit cash with one of its 335,000 retailers in 700+ cities. MoneyOnMobile is authorized by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up this semi-closed payment network, which enables registered users to buy goods, products and services from registered merchants.

The consumers’ cash deposits become digital currency in MoneyOnMobile’s computerized records. Consumers then have the ability to perform over 55 different transactions, including various bill payments, cash withdrawal, domestic remittances and money transfer using only their mobile phone and SMS text messaging. The system is faster, safer, more reliable, cheaper and much easier to use than transacting in all cash.

MoneyOnMobile is being embraced by the Indian un-banked and under-banked consumer, and the company’s reach into the remotest parts of India makes it the go-to prepaid instrument on the market today. The company has already served over 198 million cumulative unique mobile phone number users and has processed $1.8 billion worth of transactions. Convinced it’s just getting traction, MoneyOnMobile had 39 percent monthly compounded revenue growth in the three months from January to May 2017.

MoneyOnMobile’s cellular prepaid digital payment system is directly centered in one of highest spheres of growth in the financial services arena. The company’s no-cost to end-user services meet a vast unmet need in one of the world’s most populated countries, providing users newfound flexibility and self-dependence. It shouldn’t be long before MoneyOnMobile’s growth numbers eclipse the first three months of this year.

• Company’s business growth increased by 40% in 2017’s first quarter
• Projected to reach $75 million in revenues by 2018

Exciting developments continue for Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE), which has become a proven entity within the thriving payments-as-a-service market.

Net Element is a global financial technology and value-added solutions group engaged in supporting electronic payments acceptance in an omni-channel environment that spans point-of-sale, e-commerce and mobile devices. The company’s payments-as-a-service transactional and value-added services platform caters to small-to-medium enterprises (SME) in the United States and in selected emerging markets. Net Element was hailed as one of the fastest-growing technology companies by the South Florida Business Journal in 2016, and the company continues living up to that title.

On July 20, Net Element announced that its PayOnline subsidiary has expanded its payments module for electronic commerce and CMS to now include InSales, a popular omni-channel commerce and CMS platform for small-to-medium-sized businesses (http://dtn.fm/t7J3Y). The free PayOnline module for InSales enables merchants to accept payments via the most popular bankcards, such as Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Maestro and MIR. Additionally, the PayOnline module supports more than 110 key world currencies, including U.S. dollars, euros, rubles, tenge, soms and shekels. All of the PayOnline module’s payment interfaces are available in English and Russian, and PayOnline has gained access to more than 4,000 new merchants in Russia and Kazakhstan with this latest addition, which means significant revenue potential for Net Element. The payment module is available on 23 of the most popular e-commerce and CMS platforms and counting.

In June, Net Element announced, through its PayOnline subsidiary, that its list of European integrations and partnerships had expanded via the addition of Payvision to the company’s network of partners. This provided PayOnline with an additional channel through which to route its payments in Europe and effectively broadened the scope of capabilities for its customers, simultaneously supporting higher conversion rates and improving access to more than 120 currencies throughout the world.

Also in June came the announcement that Net Element’s PayOnline subsidiary had initiated payment acceptance services for V-Tell, a premier international mobile network operator. V-Tell’s intention was to use various payment methods offered through the PayOnline platform for its website and mobile application, including recurring billing and one-click payment solutions.

Net Element’s business growth was up an impressive 40 percent in the first quarter of 2017, and a Zacks Research Report released in May (http://dtn.fm/fI97p) projected that the company’s revenues will reach $75 million by 2018.

Continuing its impressive growth trajectory, Net Element is successfully demonstrating its ability to grow internationally and is poised for even greater success in the near term.

• Specializing in novel cannabinoid drug therapies, InMed Pharmaceuticals is well-poised for cannabinoid research and development of new treatments
• Glaucoma and skin disease pharmaceuticals now in development have an estimated $7.6 billion potential market
• InMed Pharmaceutical’s chief medical officer helped $3 billion GW Pharmaceuticals develop one of the first cannabis-based drugs

With its proprietary bioinformatics assessment tool, cannabinoid biosynthesis technology and drug development pipeline, InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) is well-positioned to target the future of cannabinoid pharmaceutical compounds.

InMed is a pre-clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of novel therapies through research and development of the 90+ individual cannabinoid compounds which occur naturally in cannabis.

InMed can rapidly analyze and identify novel cannabinoids to find new drug candidates with the highest therapeutic benefit and fewest adverse effects. The company’s unique research approach using proprietary bioinformatics tools expedites the identification of bioactive compounds with the potential to treat specific diseases, while its comprehensive pharmaceutical and cannabinoid structures database allow InMed to identify active cannabinoids that will act on genes and proteins.

Two major medications are in development by InMed Pharmaceuticals: a glaucoma treatment and a drug therapy for epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The two markets combined have an estimated value of $7.6 billion. Clinical trials for both candidates are expected to start in 2018.

In June, InMed Pharmaceuticals announced an agreement with Pharmaseed Ltd. to develop the final formulation for INM-750, a treatment in development as a therapy for EB and other dermatological and wound applications.

Epidermolysis bullosa comprises a group of inherited connective tissue diseases which typically affect the skin, causing it to become extremely fragile and prone to blistering and tearing. The disease can also affect bodily systems and internal organs. There is currently no approved treatment for EB. InMed’s topical formulation includes multiple cannabinoids to target keratin modulation, as well as inflammation, healing, skin regeneration, itching, and pain.

A second pharmaceutical in InMed’s pipeline, INM-085, treats glaucoma, an eye disorder which increases pressure in the eye, damages the optic nerve and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. The glaucoma medication could become the first-ever treatment for the disease that is multi-target and uses multiple cannabinoids for maximum effectiveness.

InMed Pharmaceuticals’ impressive management team includes Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ado Muhammed, a former associate medical director for GW Pharmaceuticals. Muhammed was instrumental in leading GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH) through development and approval of one of the world’s first cannabis-based drugs, taking the company’s shares from less than $9 in 2013 to $100 today and building a market value of more than $2.5 billion.

InMed Pharmaceuticals president and CEO Eric Adams is a seasoned biopharmaceutical executive with over 25 years’ experience in company and capital formation, global market development, mergers & acquisitions, licensing and corporate governance. Adams previously served as CEO at enGene Inc. and held key senior roles in global market development with QLT Inc. (Vancouver), Advanced Tissues Science Inc. (La Jolla), Abbott Laboratories (Chicago), and Fresenius AG (Germany).

InMed’s Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Sazzad Hossain has more than 20 years of academic and industrial experience in new drug discovery and natural health product development. Hossain held key roles at the Biotechnology Research Institute of National Research Council Canada and Xenon Pharmaceuticals. CFO Jeff Charpentier is a 25-year veteran of the biopharmaceutical industry and has served at several public and private companies in the pharmaceutical and technology sectors.

With lots of opportunity, a share price of less than 30 cents and a market cap of about $34 million, InMed looks like a good opportunity to profit from what may become the next success story in the ongoing quest to cure and mitigate disease with cannabinoid-based therapeutics.

• PATSCAN CMR™ technology to detect concealed weapons & ordnance
• Microwave radar technology developed in collaboration with McMaster University
• Non-intrusive system units can be deployed covertly

Patriot One Technologies, Inc. (TSX.V: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) is on the frontline of the fight against terrorists and active shooters, the latter defined by law enforcement agencies as ‘an individual or individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area’. In collaboration with McMaster University of Canada, the company has developed novel technology which detects weapons and other ordnance carried into public spaces and reduces the risk posed by malevolent actors. Unlike present weapons detection systems, the Patriot One units employing this innovative technology can be deployed without the knowledge or awareness of those being scanned. In addition, there is no stop-and-scan or intrusive invasions of privacy. With its new PATSCAN technology, Patriot One is offering airports, train stations, nightclubs, concert venues and other public arenas the capability to deter, detect and defend against terrorists and active shooters.

Patriot One’s preemptive approach to warding off gun and bomb violence employs cutting-edge microwave radar technology linked to machine algorithms. The low-power radar system scans people and property as they pass through the field of the device. This data is relayed continuously to sophisticated algorithms that access a database of ordnance “signatures” and make a determination, in real time, of a possible security threat. By running the scan against the signatures in the database, the system quickly identifies whether someone is carrying a gun, knife, bomb or some other potentially dangerous device or object.

Patriot One’s PATSCAN, developed in collaboration with researchers from McMaster University, is markedly different from traditional weapons detection technology. Current weapons detection systems are highly visible and tend to create the sort of ominous atmosphere one might expect in a prison, perhaps, but not at a teenage pop concert. However, PATSCAN can be deployed covertly behind walls, ceilings and floor panels and is, in effect, invisible to the public. Consequently, it increases the likelihood that an actor with malicious intent will give himself away. The technology, which will certainly prove disruptive to the security industry, is rather less so in operation. It requires no stop-and-scan; no searching of handbags and emptying of pockets; and no body scans that may violate the norms of privacy or decency. In many ways, PATSCAN CMR is clean technology, and its merits are getting a nod from industry experts.

Earlier this year, the company announced the Security Industry Association (SIA) had recognized it as winners of the Anti-Terrorism / Force Protection category in the New Product Showcase (NPS) component of the ISC West industry trade show and conference in Las Vegas, Nevada (http://dtn.fm/8pwAK). SIA NPS judges are highly skilled and experienced in security technology design and application and are required to have a minimum of 10 years experience in the selection, purchase and or installation of products within the category that they are judging. The PATSCAN has, so far, achieved a 94 percent true positive detection, which is far ahead of traditional metal detector rates.

Patriot’s order book is growing, and inquiries from potential clients and distributors continue to pour in. Last month, one such inquiry, from Down Under, blossomed into a new partnership. Patriot One announced it had entered into a reseller agreement with accredited national systems integration experts Aotea Security (NZ) Ltd. of Dunedin, New Zealand (http://dtn.fm/7UsxI). Aotea Security is the security specialist arm of the Aotea Group of companies, which provides New Zealand’s only truly nationwide solution for electronic security, electrical, fire, and communications services.

Patriot One is now in the process of obtaining certification from Industry Canada and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. for its commercial PATSCAN units. The company hopes to start shipping commercial units in the fall.

After a recent shakeup, New Jersey-based SITO Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SITO) has appointed a new CEO, COO, chairman of the board and board members to its management team, and it is back on track doing what the company does best, helping advertisers attract customers using mobile platforms.

SITO offers services in location-based advertising, a booming advertising sector that is growing faster than any other ad channel. The company’s technology allows advertisers to optimize their campaigns, better understand their audiences and increase ROI by utilizing always-on location, audience and behavior sciences (LABS) reporting. SITO Mobile offers real-time verified data to track ad campaign performance aimed at driving foot traffic to brick and mortar stores.

SITO announced in early June the election of Brent Rosenthal as chairman of the company’s board of directors. SITO Mobile is a technology-based mobile solutions provider increasing brand awareness, loyalty and sales through its mobile engagement platform.

Brent Rosenthal is the founder of Mountain Hawk Capital Partners, LLC, an investment fund focused on small and micro-cap equities in the technology media telecom (TMT) and food industries. Rosenthal also serves on the boards of directors of comScore (NASDAQ: SCOR) and RiceBran Technologies (NASDAQ: RIBT) and is an adviser to the board of directors of Park City Group (NASDAQ: PCYG).

“I am honored to be in the position of serving as chairman of the board of the company, and will work tirelessly with my colleagues on the Board to continue to build value for all of the Company’s stakeholders, including our shareholders, employees and customers,” Rosenthal said in a statement to Globe Newswire (http://dtn.fm/JG4wo).

Rosenthal joins new board of directors members Michael Durden, Itzhak Fisher, Thomas J. Pallack, Matthew Stecker and Thomas Thekkethala. On June 30, the company announced that Thomas J.

• Synergistic subsidiaries
• Awaiting approval of water treatment patent application
• Augmented management team

Although water covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and is its most abundant resource, the five-year drought in California and the recent water crisis in Flint, Michigan, show that our reserves are ever under threat. With this in mind, it’s nice to know that supplies of the precious commodity for household, industrial, and agricultural use are not being taken for granted. Converde Energy USA, Inc., d/b/a American Energy Partners Inc. (OTC: XFUL), has developed water treatment technology that is in the final stages of the patent process. In addition, the company’s three divisions cleverly catalyze each other, providing the synergy for growth. With its newly augmented management team and synergistic subsidiaries, Converde Energy’s imminent name change to American Energy Partners signals the company’s strengthened position and developing momentum.

The Ancient Mariner lamented, “Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” That is because most of it (about 97 percent) is in the oceans and too salty for drinking, growing crops, or many other human uses. Much of the other three percent is unavailable, since it is held in the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland or in deep underground aquifers where, for most practical purposes, it is inaccessible to us. Therefore, only about one percent of the Earth’s fresh water, in rivers, lakes and accessible groundwater resources, can be tapped for human use. A lot of that, unfortunately, needs a great deal of filtration and sanitization before it’s usable.

However, XFUL is already on the job and, as an example of the kind of job the company can do, a recent press release (http://dtn.fm/d0lfA) sheds a revealing light. XFUL announced it was collaborating with the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (EPCAMR) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) in a multi-phase study of the Mocanaqua Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) Tunnel. The project is designed to test the viability and safety of releasing “the millions of gallons of treated mine influenced water during low flow conditions into the local watershed that feeds the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania”. The Mocanaqua AMD Tunnel holds a significant pool of isolated mine water thought to exceed 500 billion gallons.

The company’s Gilbert unit (Gilbert Oil & Gas Company) continues the search for such opportunities, leveraging its broad industry valuation experience to develop partnerships with companies operating in the oil and gas space, with the emphasis on positive cash flow. XFUL’s other two subsidiaries, Hydration Company of PA (HCPA) and American Energy Solutions (AES), have a broader remit, however. Their potential markets extend far beyond oil and gas, as their services can be offered to municipalities, factories, and farming, power production and other industrial concerns. Gilbert’s activities are likely to seed the growth of HCPA and AES, since Gilbert could be their customer. This synergy is set to bootstrap XFUL on its way to becoming fully integrated and operational.

At Gilbert’s helm is newly-appointed President Josh Hickman, who will also sit on XFUL’s board. Hickman, an oil and gas exploration geologist, is a tested deal finder and dealmaker with a solid track record of closing deals. He brings over 15 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry to the XFUL team, with stints at Consol Energy, Cabot Oil and Gas, Edgemarc Energy Holdings and Dahlmont Energy Resources under his belt. He is also the founder of Hickman Geological Consulting, which specializes in applying the principles of technical data and financial understanding to growth businesses in the oil and gas space.

• Sees opportunities in the fast-growing international medical marijuana market
• Plans store opening in San Gabriel, California, with online hemp-based product store already in Shanghai, China, targeting the global Chinese-speaking community
• Consilium Global Research projects that company revenues will reach $14.8 million by FY2020

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is employing a strategy of selling cannabidiol (CBD) in North America. It plans for a brick-and-mortar store in San Gabriel, California, as well as recently incorporating CBD Biotechnology, Inc., in British Columbia, Canada. It also has an online CBD store with hemp-based products located in the free trade zone of Shanghai, China, designed to serve the global Chinese-speaking population.

CIIX offers educational and consulting services to the Chinese community. Most recently, it has been pursuing the hemp oil-based industry through its online store, its planned California unit, and now the corporation formation in Canada. The goal of the company is to be the leading Chinese publicly-traded nutritional company. CIIX is projected to reach eight-figure revenues by FY2020, according to a SeeThruEquity research report (http://dtn.fm/j4lAZ), and it is still working its core, high-margin investor relations business within the Chinese-speaking market.

However, its expansion into Canada illustrates that CIIX is eyeing, in addition to hemp-based nutritional products, opportunities in the medical marijuana market. Warren Wang, founder and chief executive officer of CIIX, said the incorporation of CBD Biotechnology in Canada is a “promising step forward” toward the company’s goals of entering the medical marijuana industry. He noted that there are nearly one million Chinese in Canada.

Investor relations and subscription levels continue to grow, the SeeThruEquity report noted, giving CIIX a foothold within the Chinese-speaking community. A research report by Consilium Global Research (http://dtn.fm/5b4qX) added that CIIX’s intimate knowledge and penetration of the native Chinese market in the U.S. and globally, “makes for an enormous and niche opportunity.” It projects company sales reaching $14.8 million by FY2020.

• Lexaria Bioscience Corp. well-positioned for growth in expanding Canadian cannabinoid market
• Canadian market for cannabis extracts and oils expected to top C$1.6 billion by 2020
• Company’s patented technology infuses organically sourced hemp oil into molecules of other substances such as lipids, the basis of the human endocannabinoid system
• Patented technology enables better-tasting hemp oil-infused gourmet food products with improved bioavailability of cannabinoids

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) is well-positioned for growth in the emerging Canadian cannabinoid market. Lexaria is an innovative revenue-generating company developing and out-licensing proprietary technology for delivering bioactive compounds including cannabinoids.

With full legalization expected in 2018, the Canadian market for cannabis extracts and oils is expected to top C$1.6 billion by 2020. Lexaria is at the forefront of innovation in the biosciences sector as pioneering biopharmaceutical companies in Canada and elsewhere work to research and develop healthy cannabinoid products. Investment capital in these “plant-to-bloodstream” companies is expected to grow exponentially. As a first mover into this space, Lexaria is well-positioned for increasing market share and revenue.

While cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) and THC boast a wide range of health benefits, they are poorly absorbed by the human gastrointestinal tract. Lexaria’s products take advantage of the company’s patented technology to offer health-conscious consumers improved absorption and taste of orally-ingested products. Lexaria’s lipophilic enhancement technology is proven to enhance the bioavailability of orally-ingested cannabinoids, thus allowing for lower dosages.

The company is in discussions for or has already signed B2B agreements with companies in Canada, the largest-market states in the U.S., and internationally. Lexaria has also developed its own brands using its patented technology to infuse hemp oil ingredients within lipids in foods. These brands include ViPova™, Lexaria Energy Foods, and TurboCBD™.

Lexaria continues research and development, signing a collaborative research agreement with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in February 2017 to investigate new opportunities in bioavailability enhancement of lipophilic active ingredient compositions. The company believes its patented technology can be utilized for the delivery of nicotine, vitamins, analgesics and a variety of other substances.
