$PBIO Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, said: “The number of reports that focus on the poor absorption of CBD in current CBD Oil-based products continues to increase, and the message they are sending is very clear: CBD Oil needs to be processed into a nanoemulsion to make it truly water-soluble, which is necessary to increase the absorption and bioavailability of the CBD Oil within the body. The critical issue of poor water-solubility/bioavailability of current CBD infused products was addressed in a recent World Health Organization critical review report on CBD (http://nnw.fm/m9l2B), which stated: “Probably due to its poor aqueous solubility, the absorption of CBD from the gastrointestinal tract is erratic, and the resulting pharmacokinetic profile is variable. Bioavailability from oral delivery was estimated to be 6% due to significant first-pass metabolism.”

Mr. Schumacher continued: “We are very pleased that the NanoPeak Solutions Team has purchased one of the initial BaroShear K45 systems. We are further pleased that NanoPeak and PBI have agreed in principal to a long-term collaboration that both companies believe will be mutually-beneficial; to that end, the companies have agreed that payment for the BaroShear K45 system will be made to PBI in a combination of cash and common stock in NanoPeak Solutions, Inc., thus binding the companies together in a way that will go well beyond the typical customer-vendor relationship. NanoPeak Solutions intends to engage with various research institutions in furthering the shared technology platform knowledge base and undertaking clinical trials along with ongoing new product development and innovation. We look forward to working closely with NanoPeak as they grow into a strong manufacturing partner and manufacturer of CBD infused products.”
