YiLoLife, Inc. Plans to Expand into California

  • YiLo has now received a California state license to manufacture and cultivate cannabis
  • YiLo is increasing its product line with introduction of additional CBD products and the ‘Jamyn’ brand of edibles
  • Company operates in Arizona, with wholesale operations and the YiLo Superstore on Thunderbird Road in Phoenix, and plans wholesale distribution throughout California
YiLoLife, Inc. (“YiLo”), a cannabis holding company, is setting plans in place to expand into California from its Arizona base. YiLo is now developing operations in California for cultivating and manufacturing products. It has acquired a 34,000 square foot warehouse on a 4.66 acre parcel and also obtained a California state license enabling it to cultivate, manufacture and distribute within the state, according to Carsten Loelke, founder and CEO.
The company is currently working on building out the warehouse to ready it for the processing of its products. YiLo notes that the facility can be expanded to up to 130,000 square feet.
The Phoenix-based company is already operational in the neighboring state of Arizona, where it distributes its line of YiLo-branded edibles, such as soft gels and gummies, drinks and other THC and CBD products, to dispensaries statewide. It also operates the YiLo Superstore on 2841 W Thunderbird Road in Phoenix.
YiLoLife, Inc.’s goal is to become a public company listed on the NASDAQ. To achieve that, the company is seeking to attract more shareholders, as required to qualify to be listed on the exchange. “It’s a new era for cannabis. There’s never been a better time to invest,” Loelke said.
California is developing the largest cannabis market in the world, and YiLo’s expansion could mean an even more lucrative investment for its shareholders.

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) Enters New Stage of Cannabis Industry Growth

  • Cannabis industry expected to reach $24.5 billion in sales within four years
  • Company expanding into Canada ahead of expected nationwide legalization
  • Medical diagnostic device set for clinical tests to validate detection of STDs
With the sunny investment disposition toward marijuana and blockchain-related industries carrying over from late 2017’s marketplace into the new year (http://nnw.fm/3Kzml), Florida-based Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC: ETST) is optimistic about its ability to serve the medical and recreational needs of a growing population of cannabis users. The biotechnology company has established a research agreement with the University of Central Oklahoma and DV Biologics Laboratory to study and advance the health care benefits of its high-grade hemp CBD oil, placed its cannabidiol (CBD) food products in retail stores throughout the country, established a non-profit foundation to help underprivileged patients use its products and acquired Quebec, Canada-based Canna Inno Laboratories Inc. in a bid to expand into that country as it prepares to legalize the recreational use of marijuana on a national basis later this year.
Earth Science Tech, Inc. announced in May 2014 that it was entering the legal cannabis and medical marijuana industry as a natural progression of its mission to deliver wellness and alternative medicine options to American consumers. In the nearly four years since, a growing number of states have legalized medicinal and recreational uses for marijuana derivatives as popular sentiment has shifted toward acceptance of the drug despite its continued classification as a controlled substance by the federal government. The revolution in Canada that is expected to result in full legalization this summer has outpaced U.S. attitudes and provided a near-neighbor alternative for U.S. businesses that continue to encounter market obstacles at home.
Variances in forecasts about the market potential for the legal cannabis industry are measured in billions of dollars nowadays; cannabis industry analysts Arcview Market Research, in partnership with BDS Analytics, predicts that the market will reach $24.5 billion in sales within the next three to four years with a 28 percent CAGR that follows on a 33 percent increase between 2016 and 2017 despite ongoing federal prohibition (http://nnw.fm/pEAM5). As this market potential grows, Earth Science Tech is working to uplist under the OTCQB’s regulations for new Tier II Regulation A+ companies, with hopes for SEC approval by March.
The proposed uplisting will underpin efforts to raise an additional $4 million in operating capital so the company can complete planned projects advancing its brand in the United States and Canada. In December, Earth Science Tech announced a CBD product revamp and brand education strategy (http://nnw.fm/3nYfW) that it expected to launch by the end of January, along with a renewed push for major donors to help its non-profit foundation and a collaboration with a start-up accelerator in Canada to help it ramp up its brand awareness.
In February, the company plans to begin a nine-month series of human clinical trials on its new CBD formulation, which is designed to decrease cravings and the negative effects of withdrawal in addicts. If the trials prove successful, the product is set to launch in 2019 as a new addition to the stable of Earth Science Tech patent-pending offerings.
“We look to hit the ground running in 2018 with all we have lined-up in the first quarter,” president, director and COO Nickolas Tabraue stated in a news release. “We have other exciting discussions that are progressing well, and we will share those once any material developments have been finalized. Our story and vision will be seen very soon and we greatly appreciate all who have believed in us since the beginning.”
Another aspect of Earth Science Tech’s mission is to develop low-cost, noninvasive home-use diagnostic tools for sexually transmitted infections and/or diseases. The company’s first medical device has been labeled MSN-2, which is set for clinical tests under an agreement with Laboratories BNK Canada to ensure the device meets regulatory requirements as part of the company’s bid to meet the specific needs of women. Earth Science Tech has already established the MSN-2 device’s ability to detect chlamydia, and it now aims to validate similar results for gonorrhea, another sexually transmitted disease that can have permanent consequences for patients if untreated. The company also plans to add testing to detect the different serotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer. The diagnostic testing market for STDs is expected to grow to $108 billion by 2019, according to Transparency Market Research.

IEG Holdings Corp. (IEGH) Aims to be Key Player in the Cryptocurrency/Blockchain Sector

  • IEG Holdings plans to create its own gold metal-backed cryptocurrency for consumer loans and consumer loan repayments
  • The company’s loans offer interest rates that are significantly lower than payday lenders
  • Adoption of blockchain technology offers substantial growth potential
On January 10, 2018, consumer loan provider IEG Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: IEGH) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Investment Evolution Crypto, LLC, is negotiating to purchase a gold project with prospecting licenses and known gold resources. The corporation plans to use a gold resource for the creation of its own gold metal-backed cryptocurrency, with a view to offering loans and accepting loan repayments through blockchain technology. Investment Evolution Crypto has not started mineral operations as yet, but it is currently developing plans to explore these crypto/blockchain opportunities. These efforts will include an evaluation of the legalities and associated economic risks.
Unlike other digital currencies like bitcoin, ether, Ripple and Litecoin, IEG Holdings’ cryptocurrency will be backed by gold and registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) as a security.
In a news release, the company’s chairman and CEO, Paul Mathieson, had this to say about the venture: “We believe potentially combining the exciting new blockchain technology with the hard asset of gold metal, expected SEC registration, a leading sophisticated online consumer finance system and individual U.S. state lending licenses is a very exciting proposition. In addition, we believe the future leaders of the crypto/blockchain sector will be companies that are materially compliant with all the existing and future related U.S. government legislation. We aim for IEGH to leverage off its existing fintech business credentials, specifically its extensive experience in online consumer loans, to potentially be a key player in the crypto/blockchain sector.”
IEG Holdings, based in Las Vegas, is a global leader in consumer finance and provides small-sized online personal loans to consumers in the United States. Through its operating subsidiary, Investment Evolution Corporation, the company offers loans under the brand “Mr. Amazing Loans.” Mr. Amazing Loans is a fintech company that specializes in providing loan amounts of $5,000 to $10,000 to consumers through a professional, user-friendly website. IEG Holdings’ loans are unsecured consumer loans with a five-year maturity period and interest rates that are significantly lower than payday lenders.
Through Mr. Amazing Loans, consumer loans receive same-day processing, with no prepayment penalty and no hidden or additional fees. Repayment interest rates are fixed at an annual percentage rate (APR) of 29.9 percent or less for the life of the loan.
According to the Center for Responsible Lending, typical payday lenders charge interest rates ranging from 391 percent to 521 percent APR on loans from $100 to $1,000 (http://nnw.fm/iH8Y8). Terms presented by Mr. Amazing Loans offer low fixed repayments which fit into consumer budgets in an effort to ensure that they strengthen their financial positions. Loans may be approved on the same day of application, and funds are deposited directly into approved consumers’ bank accounts.
IEG Holdings is licensed and/or holds certificates of authority to originate loans in 20 states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin. All loans are processed and serviced through the company’s corporate offices in Las Vegas, which eliminates the need for physical offices in each state where the company is licensed to conduct business.
While IEG Holdings’ primary goal is to create its own gold metal-backed cryptocurrency, it will explore the acceptance of established digital currencies, like bitcoin, for consumer loan repayment. With its foray into the rapidly growing blockchain space, 2018 promises to be a year of substantial growth for the company.

Teewinot Life Sciences Corporation: At the Vanguard of Biopharmaceutical Cannabinoid Therapeutics

  • Global medicinal cannabinoid market to exceed $55 billion by 2025
  • Teewinot has created patent protected methods to produce exact cannabinoid molecules called CANNSYNTHESIS®
  • Efficient cost-effective methods reduce production time and increase purity
There is indisputable scientific evidence of the curative effects of cannabinoids, and specialty biopharmaceutical companies are positioning to capitalize on the explosive growth expected in the cannabinoid-derived pharmaceutical market. In a report that may be substantially underestimated, the global medical cannabinoid market is expected to exceed $55 billion by 2025 (http://nnw.fm/Jg4NE). However, the discovery of the human endocannabinoid system dramatically changed both the understanding and the vast potential of cannabinoid therapeutics. Understanding of the human system of lipids and receptors has sparked new scientific research into cannabinoids that may affect a much broader range of physiological functions than previously considered. With a tsunami of innovation, cannabinoid biopharmaceutical companies now research, identify and develop new drug candidates to improve and extend patients’ lives, create unique therapeutics to treat multiple maladies and provide new solutions for unmet medical needs.
At the vanguard of biopharmaceutical advancements in cannabinoid therapeutics, Teewinot Life Sciences Corporation has emerged as a leader in the manufacture and delivery of products containing cannabinoids, cannabinoid analogs (modified to enhance efficacy), and cannabinoid prodrugs (activated by body metabolism). Teewinot’s patent-protected biosynthetic cannabinoid manufacturing processes, called CANNSYNTHESIS®, are substantially more efficient than conventional chemical synthesis or methods of botanical extraction from the cannabis plant. The company’s patent protected processes for production of pure cannabinoids utilize biocatalysts and synthetic biology. With its wholly owned subsidiaries, Teewinot Technologies Ltd. (fka Full Spectrum Laboratories Ltd.) and Teewinot Laboratories Inc. (fka CMH Biotechnologies), both domiciled in legally favorable jurisdictions, Teewinot has created novel methods of cannabinoid production that reduce cost and production time while increasing purity.
Teewinot’s unique ability to cost effectively manufacture industrial quantities of exact cannabinoid molecules and modify delivery methods may become an indispensable asset in the global quest to develop effective new cannabinoid therapeutics. The company’s system diversifies the number and types of molecules that can be made available for research, product development and commercial pharmaceutical production of potentially life-changing drugs.
To protect this invaluable asset, Teewinot has taken aggressive intellectual property protection actions and filed patent applications in key countries around the world.  Teewinot has created an exceptional combination of cutting edge scientific research on cannabinoids and an aggressive intellectual property portfolio to develop new and improved patient therapies and build significant value.
A myriad of cannabinoid-based drugs may soon be developed to unlock a vast range of new therapeutics that benefit millions of ailing people and answer lingering unmet medical needs. These new-found therapeutics have the potential to create a bonanza in the biopharmaceutical sector, and Teewinot may well become the beneficiary.
