SYNC(TM) Nano Fast Action Spray uses nanoemulsion technology to enable rapid onset and shorter duration of effects; the first THC product is in-market, with CBD to follow

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 31, 2020) –  Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (TSXV: EMH) (OTCQX: EMHTF) (“Emerald”)  has launched the first product in its adult-use SYNC^TM Nano fast-acting cannabis spray product line. SYNC^TM 15 Nano THC Fast Action Spray allows consumers to choose ingestion over inhalation of cannabis while achieving a much more rapid, predictable onset and shorter controlled duration of effects compared to edibles and oils. The sublingual spray’s effects can start in 10-20 minutes and last two to four hours. Emerald has made the first product shipment to Alberta and Saskatchewan, with availability for purchase by consumers expected early this week.

SYNC™ 15 Nano THC Fast Action Spray contains 15 mg/ml of THC and all-natural citrus flavouring and limonene terpene that provide an enjoyable flavour. The terpene has also been scientifically demonstrated to impart a mellowing (anxiolytic¹) yet uplifting (anti-depressive¹) effect. The discreet, convenient and mess-free spray bottle allows for a high degree of control over the dosage, with approximately 1.5 mg of THC per activation, as well as easy storage and portability. The nanoemulsion product also requires a lower dose to achieve cannabis effects and can be a more economical product choice. Emerald is preparing for the launch of its second product, SYNC™ 15 Nano CBD Fast Action Spray, containing 15 mg/ml of CBD with natural lemon flavouring and limonene terpene.

“We looked carefully at unmet needs in the cannabis marketplace and applied our product development capabilities to create a product line with multiple points of consumer appeal,” said Riaz Bandali, President and CEO of Emerald. “With an emphasis on science-based innovation, we created this product line using proven nanoemulsion technology and are pleased to offer the benefits of this high-performing technology to the cannabis industry.”

The SYNC™ Nano products are formulated by Emerald using a proprietary process to achieve nano-sized droplets that bypass the digestive system due to their tiny size. This result significantly multiplies bioavailability and absorption of cannabinoids in the body compared to the normal path of ingestion of cannabis edibles and oils – and also compared to conventional emulsion approaches. Nanoemulsions are currently being used safely in the drug delivery, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries to improve the delivery and stability of ingredients.
