Freedom Leaf Announces Further Expansion in Overseas Markets
Starting With New Products In Europe; This Puts FRLF at Forefront
of Therapeutic Cannabinoid Industry, Collaborating With Two
European Firms for Global Sales of Freedom Leaf Branded CBG
Products
LAS VEGAS, NV--(NewMediaWire - Sep 12, 2017) - Freedom Leaf,
Inc, (OTCQB: FRLF) The Marijuana Legalization Company ™, is
pleased to announce that it is collaborating with two privately
owned European companies for product development and global
marketing to provide a variety of Freedom Leaf branded products
with Rare
Cannabinoids, CBG, (Cannabigerol) in
addition to its
popular CBD, Cannabidiol.
Freedom Leaf, Inc, CEO Clifford J. Perry announced, "These new
products, along with our hempOLOGY brand
products, will put Freedom Leaf at the forefront of the therapeutic
cannabinoid industry."
Perry has hailed Freedom Leaf Iberia licensee, Federico Pando,
for his work in bringing these new products to the public. Freedom
Leaf is staking its claim to foreign markets starting with Europe
with plans to be in Central and South America as well as other
countries around the world. The market for Hemp is expanding in
many countries even faster than the United States. Serious revenue
is available from exploring these different markets around the
world.
Mr. Pando also was instrumental in Freedom Leaf's recently
signed Letter of Intent to acquire the Spanish organic hemp
grower, Green Market Europe, and the acquisition of the
Spanish websites, LaMarihuana.com, the oldest and most popular
Spanish language cannabis website,
and Marihuana-Medicinal.com, the biggest Spanish language
medical cannabis site.
Mr. Pando explained that the CBG
(Cannabigerol) crystal and other cannabinoids can be
added to a variety of products, including the transdermal patches
that Freedom Leaf is developing in collaboration with a privately
owned European firm with more than 20 years' experience in
transdermal technology.
The Cannabigerol crystal has a 97%
purity and comes with Food
Grade HACCP, Hazard analysis and
critical control points and GMP, Good Manufacturing
Practices certification. The plant comes from an EU Certified
Industrial Hemp strain and CBG is not
psychoactive; it can be sold over the counter in many
countries.
The Hemp strain used has the rarest chemotaxonomy (Level 4)
which only produces CBG.
Although no medical claims are being made for any of the
products, in various studies there are indications that
Cannabigerol may relieve pain, reduce seizures and convulsions,
slow bacterial growth in certain species, reduce inflammation
systemically, induce sleep, inhibit cancer cell growth, stimulate
the growth of new brain cells and promotes bone growth. Some of the
other conditions under study include glaucoma, inflammatory bowel
diseases, anti-inflammatory disorders, epilepsy and chronic
pain.
CBG samples have already been shipped and
delivered to product development facilities in Colorado and
California.
Freedom Leaf, Inc. is currently collaborating with Spanish
scientists isolating other rare cannabinoids.
Some of the ongoing research includes strains
with THCV, Tetrahydrocannabivarin,
which suppresses
appetite and CBC, Cannabichromene,
which has been shown to aid with
depression.
Pando stated, "Our transdermal patches will have a very
competitive price and be sold over the counter and online
worldwide. We expect to have an aggressive online marketing
campaign to get the attention of mainstream consumers who have not
been cannabis users."
The transdermal patches will be available in 2018, but other
products containing CBG and some Freedom
Leaf branded rare cannabinoids may be
available in the fourth quarter of this year.
Freedom Leaf´s hempOLOGY brand is already marketing
its unique combination
of CBD enhanced Ayurvedic herbs
in vaping cartridges and in topicals. Other cannabinoids may be
added to the hempOLOGY product line.
ABOUT NuAxon Tech, the manufacturer of
large capacity CO2 Supercritical Extraction units, has 17 years of
experience in extraction process technology and manufacture of
large capacity extraction units over other comparable units, which
will serve as a huge plus for Freedom Leaf Inc.
According to NuAxon Tech, CO2 extraction is "the best method of
extracting therapeutic compounds from a plant. When CO2 is captured
and compressed it becomes a lipophilic solvent. It is exceptional
and efficient at retrieving the oils and fats from plants, some
herbal extractions are as concentrated as 250 to 1." With
proprietary "high flow rate pump" reducing processing time to "as
low as 90 minutes per batch," NuAxon's CO2 Supercritical Extraction
unit can deliver a much higher output than competitive brands.
