Tauriga Sciences, Inc. Completes Manufacturing of CannaCaviar CBD Soft Gels

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB:  TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), a diversified life sciences company with interests in the natural wellness sector and in developing a proprietary synthetic biology platform technology, announced today that it has manufactured its CannaCaviar line of cannabidiol (CBD) soft gels, which will be available for sale later this week.  CannaCaviar is Tauriga’s second product that utilizes cannabidiol (CBD) oil extracted from non-GMO industrial hemp as its key ingredient.  The Company also sells TopiCanna, a proprietary topical medicinal cannabis cream. Many who have used topical cannabis creams have reported decreased musculoskeletal pain.  Both TopiCanna and CannaCaviar are designed to provide potential natural wellness and healing properties without psychoactive effects.

Cannabidiol (CBD), like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), is one of the key compounds in cannabis.  CBD and THC are two of the best known and most prevalent of over 60 compounds in a class of molecules known of cannabinoids.  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.

CBD can be derived either from medical marijuana plants or from industrially grown hemp plants. Both are varieties of cannabis.  However, the legal and regulatory status of CBD oil extracted from industrial hemp is different from that of CBD oil extracted from medical marijuana plants, in large part because medical marijuana plants contain varying amounts of the psychoactive compound THC, while industrial hemp contains virtually no THC.   The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies hemp oil (and its derivative CBD) to be a dietary supplement and not a medication.  Accordingly, Tauriga’s CannaCaviar and other products that use CBD oil from industrial hemp can be purchased and consumed legally in any state without a prescription.

Tauriga’s Chairman & CEO Dr. Stella Sung stated, “We are extremely pleased to add a second CBD-based product to our natural wellness product line.  We believe that the success of medical marijuana will depend on the introduction of innovative products that could serve as natural alternatives to conventional therapies without harmful side effects.  Moreover, Tauriga is now at a stage where we are beginning to generate and grow a revenue stream.”

In addition to CannaCaviar and TopiCanna, Tauriga has recently launched 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.  For more information on Tauriga’s natural wellness product line, please visit www.taurigastore.com.
