Tauriga Sciences, Inc. And Breathe ECig Corp. Enter License Agreement To Co-Develop and Co-Commercialize New CBD E-Cigarette
Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: TAUG) (“Tauriga”), a diversified life sciences company with interests in the natural wellness sector and in developing a proprietary synthetic biology platform technology, and Breathe eCig Corp. (BVAP) (“Breathe”), a socially responsible e-cigarette company, announced today that the two companies have entered into a license agreement to co-develop and co-commercialize a new cannabidiol (CBD) e-cigarette. This new product will utilize Breathe’s patent pending, proprietary device that dispenses a measured and consistent amount of active ingredient per puff and that also features an optional childproofing device. Tauriga will be responsible for the active ingredient and will source and qualify the CBD oil and will formulate the contents of the pre-filled cartridges and refill units. Tauriga and Breathe will share the net profits equally from the CBD e-cigarette product line.
Tauriga Chairman and CEO Dr. Stella M. Sung states, “This agreement represents a true partnership for developing an exciting product line that reflects our shared vision of cannabis as an important and rich source for natural and complementary medicine.”
CBD has been associated with many medicinal properties and therapeutic benefits, yet unlike THC, it does not create a psychoactive “high.” Preclinical studies using animal models suggest that CBD has anticonvulsant, anxiolytic/anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, and anti-oxidant properties. As such, CBD may have important therapeutic benefits in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, neurodegenerative diseases, anxiety, nausea, cancer, arthritis, and other health concerns.
Breathe’s founder and CEO Josh Kimmel commented, “The CBD e-cigarette product line that we are co-developing with Tauriga is an ideal application of our technology and is absolutely consistent with our goal of reducing secondhand smoke and other dangers associated with conventional combustible cigarettes. We also have the ability to quickly expand our CBD e-cigarette product line by incorporating Breathe’s organic and natural flavors and advanced vapors developed in an FDA-certified factory.”
Both Tauriga and Breathe believe there is a large and dynamic market for CBD e-cigarettes, and the companies’ new product line will combine attractive and sought after components in two rapidly growing sectors, e-cigarettes and natural wellness. According to a March, 2014 equity research report from Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, the current US retail e-vapor market is an estimated $2.2 billion, and much of the near term growth will be driven by the vapors and tanks (the natural wellness content), even more so than by the devices.
Tauriga’s recently launched natural wellness product line currently consists of six products. Two of these products contain cannabidiol (CBD) oil extracted from non-GMO industrial hemp as their key ingredient: CannaCaviar, the Company’s cannabidiol (CBD) soft gels; and TopiCanna, Tauriga’s proprietary topical medicinal cannabis cream. Both TopiCanna and CannaCaviar are designed to provide potential natural wellness and healing properties without psychoactive effects. In addition to CannaCaviar and TopiCanna, Tauriga has a non-cannabis containing line of natural wellness dietary supplements. These natural supplements include IndiCalm, natural calming formula without inducing cognitive impairment; ClearNaze, a natural decongestant without stimulant or drowsiness effects; Satietiva, an amino acid-based appetite suppressant; and MendWCan, a highly pure, potent and palatable Omega 3 supplement.
