Phoenix, March 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Phoenix, AZ – March 13, 2018 – Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (OTCQX: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) a drug delivery platform innovator, today announced CEO, Chris Bunka interview on Uptick Newswire’s “Stock Day” podcast with Everett Jolly.

Lexaria Biosciences is a biotech company focused on research and development.  Recently the Company invented a patented, new drug delivery technology platform.  “What that means is we can take various different substances – we don’t particularly care if it is a cannabinoid, a nonsteroidal anti-Inflammatory drug, a vitamin or even something like nicotine – to us they are all very similar,” said Bunka.  “All of those active ingredients we are able to process with our technology.

“This new product is very complex,” said Jolly.  “Why is important to process all these different ingredients through your technology?”

“We are able to defeat the body’s sensory mechanisms to smell or taste it or detect those ingredients and we are able to sneak them into your bloodstream more effectively than they would otherwise get there.  Our processed drugs reach the bloodstream at an increased rate between 300% and 500%.”

In the last 18-months, the really big permanent or semi-permanent valuation changes in our company have come with new intellectual property; new patent awards and new studies we do.  Our dedication to consumer products, which has been very successful, continues to be a bright spot for us.  However, currently 75% to 80% of our revenue is coming from technology licensing – a model in which we have just graduated from the demonstration phase – which we expect to drive revenue.
