SOURCE: https://www.dailymarijuanaobserver.com/single...rol-Market
Las Vegas, NV, June 21, 2018 -- /D.M.O. Newswire/ -- Freedom Leaf, Inc. (OTC:FRLF), has acquired the patent pending for a natural cholesterol lowering formula developed by Healthy Discovery Associates Corp. Clinical trials for this product indicate significant improvements in reducing cholesterol levels. This is a dietary supplement and will not require FDA approval.
Freedom Leaf acquired the patent pending application for 1,400,000 shares of FRLF common stock, subject to a leak-out agreement.
Clifford J. Perry, Freedom Leaf CEO and co-founder, explains: “High cholesterol is considered a major factor in cardiovascular disease, and the market for statins, the leading category of prescription anti-cholesterol drugs, exceeds $20 billion annually. Unfortunately, statins are not well tolerated by many patients, who seek out alternatives in the dietary supplement market. While this formula is not hemp extract-based, it fits perfectly with our focus on health and wellness, including our Ayurvedic herbal formulas, sold under the Hempology brand. We hope to have this supplement on the market within the next 4 to 6 months.”
The product development scientists of the patent pending formula are Allan S Kaplan Ph.D. and Harvey Katz, Ph.D. Dr Kaplan’s degree is in Pharmaceutical Chemistry; and, he has worked as a Senior Pharmaceutical Executive with companies and their Subsidiaries, including: Merck, McNeil, Smith Kline and others. He has been involved in developing pharmaceutical products and been Director of up to 70 person formulating teams. He has been published in Pharmaceutical Research Digest.
Dr. Katz has an extended career in Nutraceutical companies, Environmental Chemical Company, Renewable Energy and Emergency Power Systems - all as CEO. He started Healthy Discovery Associates with Dr. Kaplan and two others. He led the product development team shepherding it through the clinical trials.
“Both Dr. Katz and Dr. Kaplan will be available to work with our in-house formulator to make any necessary changes,” Added Perry. “With Drs. Katz and Kaplan’s continued help, our goal is to market the current formula to a broad need-based consumer market through our growing platform of sales outlets as well as another formulation with the addition of Full Spectrum Hemp Oil as part a dietary supplement for prevention against and reduction of cholesterol.”
Freedom Leaf CFO, Richard Groberg, noted: “This acquisition represents another exciting addition to the Freedom Leaf family. I look forward to being able to focus on helping accelerate this and other recent additions once we complete our 10-Q filing. We are working closely with our new auditor who is completing their review procedures. We anticipate filing our Quarterly Report in the near future.”
