BETTER PLANT RECEIVES HEALTH CANADA APPROVAL FOR PLANT-BASED PAIN BALM

Vancouver, B.C. – October 22, 2020: Better Plant Sciences Inc. (CSE: PLNT) (OTCQB: VEGGF) (FSE: YG3) (“Better Plant”) or (the “Company”) announces that its subsidiary Urban Juve Provisions Inc., has received a Natural Health Product (“NHP”) number from Health Canada for its proprietary plant-based pain balm. Health Canada’s Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate has concluded that Urban Juve’s application is in compliance pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Health Products Regulations and issued NHP number 80105503.

“We are thrilled that our unique pain relief formula based on Ayurvedic principles is now approved by Health Canada,” says Penny White, CEO of Better Plant. “This allows us to sell and distribute the product ourselves with the potential to white label the product with other strategic partners and brands.”

All-natural health products sold in Canada require premarket approval. The health claim that was approved for Urban Juve’s pain balm efficacy is: “temporarily relieves back aches and pains of muscles and joints associated with one or more of the following: simple backache, lumbago, strains and sprains (involving muscles, tendons, and/or ligaments), and arthritis.”

“One has to think one step ahead to anticipate the challenges for regulatory approvals of NHP products,” says Bhavna Solecki Director of Product Research for Better Plant. “We have been successful obtaining multiple NHP approvals, which we are very proud of, considering the required health claim substantiation, theoretical product review, scientific literature review and product classification.”

Better Plant’s pain balm uses a synergetic and proprietary blend of plant-based ingredients. Menthol crystals act as an anti-irritant and provide a heating/cooling effect by sending a signal to the brain which interprets the feeling as cold, relieving the uncomfortable heat of inflammation.

Some studies estimate that up to 40% of the population suffers from chronic pain. Arthritis is the most prevalent health condition in Canada, and its most common form is osteoarthritis which is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Other common causes of chronic pain include gout, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus and carpal tunnel syndrome which is increasingly affecting youth, from excessive typing and texting.

According to a report by BCC Research, the global market for pain management will grow from nearly USD$36.1 billion in 2017 to USD$52.0 billion by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% for the period of 2017-2022.

HAVN LIFE SCIENCES SIGNS AGREEMENT TO SUPPLY PSYCHEDELIC COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO REVIVE THERAPEUTICS

Havn Life will export naturally derived psilocybin to the United States, for use in IND-enabling studies and future clinical trials under FDA guidelines

Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP) (the “Company” or “Havn Life”),  a biotechnology company focused on unlocking human potential using evidence-informed research and developing standardized psychoactive compounds derived from plants and fungi, is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) to supply Revive Therapeutics Ltd. (CSE: RVV, USA: RVVTF) (“Revive Therapeutics”) with psychedelic compounds for use in investigational new drug (“IND”) enabling studies and future clinical trials under the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) guidelines.

Revive Therapeutics is a life sciences company focused on the research and development of therapeutics for rare disorders and infectious diseases. With its recent acquisition of Psilocin Pharma Corp. and advancements of its novel oral-thin film delivery system of psychedelic compounds, Revive is working to advance Psilocybin-based therapeutics for mental health and abuse disorders.

Revive’s psilocybin research for its oral-thin film delivery system and its clinical study in the treatment of methamphetamine use disorder are being run under FDA guidelines at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Although the psychedelic industry is in its infancy, the signing of a supply agreement serves as a validation for the Havn Life team and the Company’s business objectives and revenue streams. Havn Life recently announced the submission of its Licensed Dealer application to Health Canada.

“This agreement with Revive Therapeutics is just the beginning, the demand for naturally-derived psilocybin is there and it is growing,” said Havn Life Co-CEO Susan Chapelle. “Our path at Havn Life has always been very clear: to supply standardized, quality controlled compounds to researchers so they can do the research that’s necessary to document health and wellness benefits of psychedelic medicine and ultimately help the industry with the knowledge required to legalize these compounds . We are thrilled to have signed this supply agreement with Revive Therapeutics to help further their work in this field. Both of our companies are leading innovators in the space, and we look forward to helping Revive achieve their goals with our compound supply”

Michael Frank, CEO of Revive, added: “We are excited about our strategic partnership with Havn Life as one of our suppliers of psychoactive compounds that we intend to develop and commercialize using our established tannin-chitosan based proprietary oral-thin film delivery system, for the pharmaceutical and wellness markets.”

The Agreement is reliant on Havn Life obtaining its Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealers Licence from Health Canada, which the company applied for earlier this month. This is the Company’s first contract for the sale of psychedelic compounds.

HAVN LIFE APPLIES FOR LICENCE TO PRODUCE AND SELL PSILOCYBIN

The Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealer’s Licence will allow Havn Life to supply naturally-derived psilocybin globally to universities, clinical researchers and companies

Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP) (the “Company” or “Havn Life”),  a biotechnology company focused on unlocking human potential using evidence-informed research and developing standardized psychoactive compounds derived from plants and fungi, is pleased to announce it has submitted an application to Health Canada to obtain a Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealer’s Licence (“Licence”) for Psilocybin and Psilocin.

This Licence, when issued, will permit Havn Life to sell naturally-derived psilocybe spp compounds, under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act, to universities, researchers and companies.

“Helping researchers unlock the benefits of natural medicines is the first step that must be taken to move this industry forward,” said Alexzander Samuelsson, Chief Research Officer of Havn Life. “This is an entirely new industry that is being built from the ground up and the potential natural medicines have only begun to be explored. We are committed to playing a key role in this emerging field of research once we have earned our license to sell naturally-derived psilocybin in Canada.”

“Psychedelics have been used as a medicine for centuries, but there is still so much work to do to bring these treatments to the masses,” said Dr. Ivan Casselman, Chief Psychedelic Officer of Havn Life. “We are committed to developing safe, quality controlled, naturally derived products from Psilocybe spp. mushrooms. With the Controlled Drugs and Substances Dealer’s Licence we will have the ability to develop a standardized, quality-controlled supply chain of psychedelic substances for use by researchers, universities and companies.”

Earlier this year, Havn Live was granted a Section 56 exemption from Health Canada to begin work with psilocybin. The Section 56 exemption licence grants Havn Life the ability to possess psilocybin for research purposes, specifically for the development of quality control methods.

HAVN LIFE JOINS UK PSYCHEDELICS WORKING GROUP WITH LEADING INTERNATIONAL SCIENTISTS

The working group consists of over 35 academics, researchers and policy specialists from four countries.

Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP)(the “Company” or “Havn Life”), a biotechnology company focused on unlocking human potential using evidence-informed research, and developing standardized psychoactive compounds derived from plants and fungi, is pleased to announce that it has joined the Drug Science Medical Psychedelics Working Group consortium.

The working group was launched by Drug Science, UK’s leading independent scientific body on drugs that provides an evidence base that is free from political or commercial influence, which creates a foundation for sensible and effective drug laws, by delivering, reviewing and investigating scientific evidence relating to psychoactive drugs.

“Havn Life is thrilled to be supporting Drug Science’s research on psychedelics,” said Dr. Ivan Casselman (Ph.D., FLS), Havn Life’s Chief Psychedelic Officer. “We are committed to advancing research in psychedelics, as well as collaborating with organizations and academic institutions around the world to tap into world class, quality research. The development of sensible drug policy reform is a mission that both the working groups and Havn Life are highly aligned with.”

The Drug Science team includes:

  • Founder Prof. David Nutt, who serves as Chair of the Scientific Committee, and is also the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London.
  • Colonel Rakesh Jetly, whose role in the Canadian military has included time as senior psychiatrist and mental health clinical advisor to the CF Surgeon General and who has published numerous articles in professional journals and presents nationally and internationally on such topics as post traumatic stress disorder and operational psychiatry
  • Joanna Neil who has served as the Professor of Psychopharmacology in the Manchester Pharmacy School at the University of Manchester since January 2013 and who has authored over 70 peer-reviewed publications in top scientific journals. Neil has been conducting research in psychopharmacology for almost 30 years, specifically in the area of development of preclinical models of psychiatric disorders.

A consortium of Drug Science experts, industry partners, patient representatives and policy makers, the group aims to break the barriers of 50 years of medical censorship by creating a rational and enlightened approach to psychedelic research and clinical treatment.

HAVN LIFE SCIENCES SUBMITS RANGE OF NATURAL HEALTH PRODUCTS TO HEALTH CANADA

Havn Retail, a core pillar of Havn Life continues to reach milestones as the company works towards its launch of a line of retail products

Vancouver, BC – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE : HAVN) (FSE : 5NP)(the “Company” or “Havn Life”), a biotechnology company focused on unlocking human potential using evidence-informed research and developing standardized psychoactive compounds derived from plants and fungi, is pleased to announce it has submitted formulations for its natural health products to Health Canada.

“At Havn Life we are focused on developing Natural Health Products for Havn Retail that build on and complement the work being done in our Havn Labs division with psychedelic compounds,” Gary Leong, Havn Life’s Chief Scientific Officer.

Leong formerly served as Chief Scientific Officer for natural health manufacturer, Jamieson Laboratories Limited, for fourteen years and with Aphria Inc., where he established and oversaw the quality assurance, quality control, regulatory affairs and research and development functions.

“In today’s world, the prospect of searching for effective, safe and natural remedies to address mental wellness issues is very compelling,” adds Leong. “I’m not sure if mental issues are more prevalent today or if we are just more aware and more receptive to acknowledging it, but regardless, there is a major, growing crisis at hand.  We see it in our health costs and most poignantly in social indicators such as the opiate crisis.”

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health reports that COVID-19 is having a negative impact on Canadians’ mental health, noting many have seen their stress levels double since the onset of the global pandemic. In an Angus Reid poll earlier this year, 50% of those surveyed reported their mental health declining since the pandemic began, with one in ten respondents saying it “worsened a lot.”

Havn Life has submitted a range of supplement formulations including a mushroom mix that addresses cognitive function and regulation, human performance and immunity.

With the submission to Health Canada, the company currently remains on track to launch a line of retail products by early 2021, and is currently formulating another range of unique products that will be submitted to Health Canada that are also expected to launch in 2021.
