  • This proprietary CBD Gum will be manufactured under the coverage of a specific U.S. Patent

The Company has been meeting with a number of potential distributors over the past 2 months and is pleased with the feedback provided.  Additionally, the Company has built its CBD Gum product line, specifically implementing the advice that several of these prospective distributors have offered to management.  The Company is hopeful to generate revenue from its CBD Gum, during the latter part of this current operating Quarter (period: January 1, 2019 – March 31, 2019); Tauriga’s 4th Fiscal Quarter of 2019.

Tauriga’s CEO, Mr. Seth M. Shaw, commented, “Tauriga Sciences, Inc. has evaluated a number of potential opportunities during calendar year 2018.  The Company believes that it has identified a potentially lucrative niche market to address, for its shareholders, and is moving forward with great enthusiasm to develop and market its CBD Gum product line.  The Company is pleased to be working with an outstanding manufacturer, with significant industry experience, in launching this product.  In order to hit the ground running, the Company has already been meeting with potential top tier distribution firms as well as providing product samples to dozens of potential retailers and end users.”

AN IMPORTANT COMMITMENT: The Company wishes to confirm to its shareholders, that at all times, it will remain in compliance with both U.S. Federal and individual State rules and regulations & laws that govern this sector.  At the same time, the Company will be constantly monitoring the legal landscape which may experience material change(s), at any point in the future.

Studies have shown that a chewing gum product may provide a superior delivery method for distributing its key active ingredients (such as CBD), in comparison to other oral dosage forms, such as: pills, capsules, beverages, and gummies.  As an individual chews gum, the CBD is released from the gum quickly and is absorbed by the Oral Mucosa, rather than the Digestive System.  Bypassing the Digestive Tract allows the CBD to maintain its inherent bioavailability, and it also means that the CBD gets absorbed by the body – substantially faster than other forms of Oral Ingestion.  Studies have also shown that CBD that is swallowed as capsules, beverages, gummies or edibles delivers less than 10% of the CBD shown on each respective label.  With CBD Infused Chewing Gum an individual can get relief for aches and pains in rapid time, at a dose that is potentially strong enough to make a noticeable difference, and delivered cost effectively without wasting the majority of the CBD consumed.
