Chilco River Holdings Acquires Colorado Corporation American Hemp Brands

CHATSWORTH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2023 / Chilco River Holdings, Inc. ("Chilco River") (OTC PINK:CRVH), a multi-faceted holding company focused on developing high-growth businesses within diverse industries, today announced the acquisition of Colorado corporation American Hemp Brands, Inc. ("American Hemp Brands"). Founded in Colorado in 2018, American Hemp Brands produces water-soluble legal cannabinoid nano-emulsions that can easily be added to beverages, edibles, and topicals to enhance shelf life, improve bioavailability, and increase uptake rates. For example, a sublingual CBD product based on a nano-emulsified CBD formulation created by American Hemp Brands increases the bioavailability and the uptake rate by as much as four times as opposed to a standard dry CBD isolate or CBD oil.

Cannabinoids are delivered though two main delivery mechanisms. The first and the most popular is through inhalation (smoking/vaping). The other alternative for delivering cannabinoids has been through the GI tract by eating edibles or by consuming formulations such as CBD oils that are placed under the tongue (transmucosal). The bioavailability of edibles and transmucosal delivery systems is very low.

Nano-emulsion formulations use a technique that breaks down liquid particles into nano-sized particles which create a stable liquid while improving bioavailability and absorption rates. Because particles created by nano-emulsion are smaller, they can penetrate cell membranes quicker and deliver more of the active ingredient in the body. Nano-emulsified cannabinoid products are water soluble meaning they can easily be added to any liquid without separating. Cannabinoid products created through nano-emulsification techniques will absorb quicker and last longer than many top-selling products and brands currently on the market. More importantly, any companies selling cannabinoid products created using the nano-emulsification formulas being developed by American Hemp brands should improve their margins because they can use less active ingredient to get equivalent bioavailability and effect.

American Hemp Brands uses high pressure homogenization to create tiny droplets/particles that are between 20 and 600 nanometers in diameter. American Hemp Brands can easily scale its manufacturing operations to service the largest cannabinoid (CBD, CBG, D8, D9, THCA) companies to customize the size depending on the exact use of the target cannabinoid. For example, CBD formulations for a nasal spray may require smaller particle sizes than an edible. American Hemp Brands' process is both customizable and scalable.
