“During the past fiscal year we simplified our corporate structure, reduced costs, and sharply focused our resources. We have two businesses, continuing legacy operations and canna-pharmaceuticals. Our most advanced and promising canna-pharmaceutical formulation addresses patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Roughly 5.3 million individuals in the U.S. and 44 million worldwide suffer from this debilitating disease.

“Our formulation, Hyalolex, has shown to reduce the primary indicators of Alzheimer’s: senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, as well as alleviate several end points like anxiety, sleep disorder, and care giver distress. Importantly, this is achieved without the patient getting high, or suffering long-term damage to neurons, or suffering from side effects commonly associated with cannabis.

“We believe the market for Alzheimer’s disease represents tremendous potential for our cannabis-based product Hyalolex. Our longer-term goal, with appropriate financing, is to move Hyalolex through the FDA registered pre-clinical and clinical trials. Independent of the FDA process, our near-term goal is to commercialize our liquid Hyalolex formulation for Alzheimer’s as a Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), sold through licensed medical cannabis dispensaries in the U.S., and internationally in Canada and Germany. We expect to begin marketing Hyalolex in early 2018,” states Ram Mukunda, IGC CEO.
