What Are MediPharm CBG Water-Soluble Products?

BARRIE, ON, April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) (“MediPharm Labs”, “MediPharm” or the “Company”) a pharmaceutical company specialized in precision-based cannabinoids, is pleased to announce the expansion of its adult use wellness product line with the launch of CBG and water-soluble products. As of today, these new products will be available in Ontario in both retail stores and on the OCS.ca e-commerce website. MediPharm also has purchase commitments to distribute the products to the Company’s other seven provincial distributors in the coming months.

Bryan Howcroft CEO of MediPharm commented, “Over the past 16 months, MediPharm has formulated several innovative product platforms, launched them and gained traction in the premium wellness segment of the Canadian market. The announcement today expands the Company’s portfolio to include the first naturally derived CBG products available to Canadian adult consumers and the only inhalable CBG option in Canada. With recent investments in sales and marketing functions demonstrating tangible results, our team will continue to bring differentiated wellness-focused products to market, and work to grow shelf presence as the year progresses. We also see a meaningful opportunity to introduce products such as those launched today into international markets, leveraging our unique GMP Drug Establishment and Natural Health Product manufacturing licenses, and existing global distribution partnerships.”

MediPharm Labs CBG:CBD 1:2 Advanced Formula oral solution is a high-CBG formulation, manufactured to stringent pharma-quality standards that brings customers and patients the highest quality and purity available in the market today. This full-spectrum formulated oil has a subtle cannabis flavour.

Northbound CBG:CBD The White and Appalachia vape cartridge is formulated with a terpene blend dominated by citrus zest and berry aromatic with mild herbal notes to provide balance. Vaping enables users to experience CBG with a faster onset that is easier to titrate.

MediPharm is proud to lead the industry in CBG-dominant options for patients and consumers. CBG is one of the rarer cannabinoids, and has demonstrated some potential as an antibiotic. An interdisciplinary team of McMaster researchers, which included MediPharm’s Director of Research and Development, Dr. Tait Gale, found that CBG was not only antibacterial, but also effective in mice against a resilient family of bacteria known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”). Discovering that CBG has antibacterial properties was significant given that the MRSA bacterial strain is a leading cause of infections worldwide and has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics currently on the market.[1]

MediPharm is also launching a water soluble CBN:THC liquid solution, Northbound Night Cap. Northbound Night Cap utilizes proprietary water-soluble emulsification technology developed in-house by the MediPharm’s Research and Development team. This formulation allows patients and consumers to add CBN to their favourite food or beverage without overpowering taste and liquid separation. Using an in-house emulsification method mitigated the Company’s need to purchase or license formulations like many other cannabis industry beverage brands.
