$LXRP to Change Name to Lexaria Bioscience Corp

The Company has had its current name since 2004 but has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last two years to become a bioscience company with a suite of patents pending in the field of active molecule delivery through common foods. This technology has broad application throughout the food industry with regards to several beneficial molecules such as common over-the-counter pain medications as well as vitamins and more.

In December 2015 Lexaria filed two new provisional patent applications related to the utilization of its food enhancement and molecule cloaking technology across a broad spectrum of commercially prepared foods such as many forms of snacks, breads, baked goods of all kinds, bottled drinks, juices and much more. The underlying technology was originally uncovered by the PhD researcher/founder of PoViva Tea LLC investigating methodologies for improving cannabinoid absorption and has since been significantly broadened in scope by Lexaria’s executive team.

Lexaria’s technology allows for near-pharma grade liposomal encapsulation of payload molecules – such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, cannabinoids and much more – within “trojan horse” foods. The technology greatly improves flavor while simultaneously enhancing bioabsorption of the payload molecules. In light of the significant progress made through 2015 and already in 2016 with the understanding of commercial applications for these scientific discoveries, the change in name to Lexaria Bioscience Corp. seems entirely appropriate.

The Company has enjoyed a loyal and dedicated shareholder base and business network whom we believe will wholly embrace the new proposed name of Lexaria Bioscience Corp.

About Lexaria

Lexaria is a food sciences company focused on the delivery of active compounds that can behave as superfoods through its proprietary infusion technologies. Lexaria’s technology enables higher bioavailability rates for CBD; THC; NSAIDs; Nicotine and other molecules than is possible without lipophilic enhancement technology. This can allow for lower overall dosing requirements and/or higher effectiveness in active molecule delivery. Lexaria hopes to reduce other common but less healthy ingestion methods such as smoking as it embraces the benefits of public health. www.lexariaenergy.com
