Bien Develops Encapsulated Emulsions and Water-Soluble Powders


CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bien Ventures Ltd. (“Bien”) is pleased to announce that it has achieved a significant corporate milestone in, together with its University partner, developing a proprietary method for producing excipient-free emulsions and water-soluble powders using an inert vitamin load as an analog for cannabis until Bien’s facility is licensed by Health Canada. Bien believes that this development bolsters its future plans for value-added downstream products as and when they are permitted by Canadian regulatory authorities.

Bien anticipates that its technology and proprietary formulations will facilitate the faster absorption of the encapsulated load and expects enhanced bioavailability and reduced onset time when consumed. In rigorously evaluating hundreds of trial formulations, Bien has stress-tested its formulations and processing methods so as to streamline their future integration into its own product portfolio as well as those of its partners.

“We are incredibly excited to have achieved this milestone and look forward to exploring the myriad uses for it as a future extension to our planned extraction capability to service Canada’s existing legal market,” notes Dr. Curtis Leifso, CEO of Bien.
