- Major interest generated in Lexaria’s technology at MJBizCon
- Patented technology masks bitter taste of edibles, increases bio-absorption and reduces time to effect
- Lexaria’s proprietary tech enables lowest manufacturing cost per serving and best consumer experience
This year’s three-day Marijuana Business Conference & Expo (MJBizCon) was held in Las Vegas in mid-November, with an attendance of over 18,000 people. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQB: LXRP) had a full team at its exhibit, which attracted a lot of attention. The company noticed increased awareness and knowledge among conference-goers about cannabinoids and their potential health benefits. There was also a noticeable demand for improved edible products in the market, with dispensary owners showing a refreshingly new willingness to carry CBD-based edibles on their shelves and manufacturers displaying a keen interest in Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH™ delivery technology to incorporate in their products. To accommodate all of the interest shown, as well as requests for business discussions, the company intends to expand its sales team and infrastructure.
Lexaria’s proprietary technology has been awarded patents in the U.S. and Australia, and it has patents pending in more than 40 other countries. Furthermore, it is the only company in the world to date that has a patent allowed for the oral delivery of all non-psychoactive cannabinoids, including CBD, as well as for the delivery of THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids. This delivery technology masks the taste of edibles, eliminating the need for unhealthy sugars and sweeteners used in many products to mask bitter flavors. It also increases bio-absorption of cannabinoids and other active compounds by up to 10 times and reduces the time of onset of effects, which were previously typically 60 to 120 minutes, to between 15 and 20 minutes. These capabilities are in marked contrast to other technologies through which active compounds are bad tasting upon oral intake, broken down by the liver, largely destroyed by stomach acid and unable to cross the intestinal wall to any significant degree.
