Tauriga Sciences, Inc. to Develop a Cannabigerol CBG Infused Product to Complement its Existing CBD Infused Edibles Product Line(s)

NEW YORK, NY, Dec. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), a revenue generating Company that operates through the development, distribution, and licensing of proprietary products as well as the evaluation of potential acquisition opportunities and equity investments, today announced its plans to develop a Cannabigerol (“CBG”) Infused product to complement its existing Cannabidiol (“CBD”) Isolate Infused product line(s): Tauri-Gum and Tauri-Gummies. The Company may, alternatively, decide to acquire a CBG Infused product or product line – should such opportunity prove synergistic with existing business activities and infrastructure.  

Cannabigerol (“CBG”) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that plays an important role in the biochemistry of the cannabis plant. CBG acts as a chemical precursor to other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. This conversion typically takes place 6-8 weeks in the flowering cycle. CBG is present only in trace amounts in most cannabis strains, however some hemp strains are specifically cultivated to generate higher yields of this cannabinoid.

CBG holds promise to be a key constituent in the overall medicinal benefits cannabis may provide. As cannabis research continues to rapidly evolve, CBG may emerge as one of the most therapeutically applicable and diverse cannabinoids to offer a wide range of possible remedies. 

CBG is not scheduled by the UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances.  In the United States, it is not a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act as long as it is not produced from the controlled parts of the cannabis plant.

Tauriga’s CEO Seth M. Shaw expressed, “Over the past 18 months, the Company has established a considerable Research and Development infrastructure and capacity.  With respect to the industry landscape and overall retail marketplace, the Company believes that the timing is prudent to develop or acquire a CBG Infused product offering as a diversification to Tauriga’s existing product lines.  The Company places great emphasis on staying ahead of the curve and being innovative as opposed to reactionary.”
