Smoking is an efficient way to absorb cannabis and nicotine
into the blood stream. However, it is also a health hazard that takes the lives
of over six million people each year through smoking-related diseases.
What would it mean for the cannabis, nicotine and other
medicinal industries if the dangers of lighting up were eliminated from the
equation? What if a more effective way of delivering drugs was developed that
reduced quantity and increased effectiveness without the negative side effects?
One company, Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (CSE: LXX) (OTCQX: LXRP), set out to
answer these questions.
Lexaria’s revolutionary technology, DehydraTECH, changed the
way that fat soluble, plant-derived molecules (such as cannabinoids and
nicotine) enter the body.
The first challenge when creating edibles is taste and
smell. Cannabinoids and nicotine can be bitter when taken orally. For this
reason, edibles often contain high levels of sugar. DehydraTECH masks the taste
and smell, eliminating the need for unhealthy sweeteners while making the
product more desirable for the consumer.
Once past the mouth, these molecules do not fully survive
the acidic nature of the stomach. Though the ideal location for absorption is
in the small intestine, the stomach damages the molecules before they have a
chance to arrive. DehydraTECH provides protection during stomach transit and
can even bypasses first pass liver metabolism when desired. The truth is that
the vast majority of substances orally consumed end up being filtered through
the body as waste. With the addition of DehydraTECH, this changes! Bio
absorption is increased by five to 10 times.
Four different wholly owned subsidiaries operate under
Lexaria. Each is empowered with global exclusive licenses to use and
out-license DehydraTECH to third party partners within their respective
industries in more than 40 countries where the technology is patented or
patent-pending. Partners are offered a competitive edge and protection against
inferior methodologies and outdated technology. DehydraTECH is suitable for use
in processed foods, beverages, capsules, oral sprays, topical applications and
more. Though the company is doing extensive research and evaluating the
potential use of its technology for nicotine delivery, it is not partnering
with the tobacco industry.
Chemicals or intimidating complex ingredients that require
disclosure on food labels are not required additions when using DehydraTECH.
Instead the edible tech works with commons GRAS ingredients that can be organic
and gluten- and dairy-free. It does all of this while still costing partners
less than a penny per serving to implement, making DehydraTECH a win-win for
the partner and consumer, who both gain from the improved performance of the
enhanced product.
Lexaria believes that one day, using technologies like
DehydraTECH, foods and beverages will be able to replace smoking as the most
effective delivery mechanism. The work the company is doing with cannabinoids
and nicotine is paving a path toward providing a powerful new delivery method
of pain relievers, vitamins, supplements and more.
