Earth Science Tech Inc. (ETST) Builds a Niche in Expansive Wellness Industry with Women’s Health, CBD Products

Earth Science Tech is a Florida-based company with a vision of enhancing the quality of people’s lives through varied wellness initiatives as part of a growing $4.2 trillion industry
The company’s two subsidiaries have a targeted focus on helping women who might not normally pursue health care to assess and treat STIs, as well as on utilizing hemp derivatives as therapy for a variety of maladies
ETST also supports a favored entity’s efforts to gain non-profit status for accepting grants that would further CBD studies and assist the company in donating its products on the basis of need

The health and wellness industry continues to accelerate annual sales of products and philosophies designed to help people live life and love it, propelled in large part by concerns about the rising costs of health care and the decrease in age of patients reporting select chronic ailments, including heart disease. The Global Wellness Institute reports that wellness industry revenues increased by 6.4 percent annually from 2015-17 to become a $4.2 trillion market that is growing nearly twice as fast as the global economy (http://nnw.fm/1OGQr).

Florida-based biotech company Earth Science Tech Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) has built a variety of partnerships that support its two wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as a favored non-profit entity, in their endeavors to advance consumers’ wellbeing. The company’s mission is focused on cannabis/industrial hemp and medical devices.

Subsidiary Earth Science Pharmaceutical is committed to bringing low-cost, non-invasive testing processes and vaccines for sexually transmitted infections to market to help women improve the quality of their lives. The company’s first medical device, Hygee, is a home kit designed as a modified panty liner to allow for the self-collection of a gynecological specimen that can be tested for two types of infections – chlamydia and gonorrhea. It gives women the ability to self-collect specimens in a non-clinical setting before sending them to a laboratory that will process the specimens and notify them if they test positive so that they can seek treatment.

The motivation behind the technology is to help women and girls in high-risk situations, who might not be willing or able to seek out assistance through traditional medical care facilities, take responsible action for their own wellbeing with the help of online ordering and home screening.

ETST’s second subsidiary, Cannabis Therapeutics, is investing in the medicinal power of hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). Earth Science Tech holds three provisional application patents for a CBD product that the company aims to use in developing treatments for breast and ovarian cancers, and for two generic pharmaceutical drugs with a CBD foundation.

Industrial hemp-based CBD and full-spectrum oils provide the company a core operation with increasing revenues, but Earth Science Tech has also been invested in research and developmental lab work that it hopes to continue for advancing varied high-quality natural hemp extracts and identifying their distinct properties. In addition to breast and ovarian cancer treatments, the company aims to further non-prescription therapies for chronic pain, joint pain, inflammation, seizures, high blood pressure, memory loss, depression, weight management, nausea and general aging-related maladies.

ETST’s formulations are expected to include options such as capsules, tablets, soft gels, chewables, liquids, creams, sprays, powders and whole herbs and may include products such as CBD as a natural constituent of hemp oil, vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, personal care products, homeopathies, functional foods and other products (http://nnw.fm/4hWGx).

As a companion entity to Earth Science Tech’s subsidiary operations, the company backs favored entity Earth Science Foundation’s effort to become a non-profit organization that can accept grants and donations to conduct further studies and assist in donating Earth Science Tech’s effective CBD products to those in need.

Industrial Hemp Market Records Steady Growth, Creating New Opportunities for Suppliers Like Sugarmade Inc. (SGMD)

Legislative changes and growing demand are forecast to enable the industrial hemp sector to grow at a CAGR of 13.7 percent through 2026
The worldwide market is expected to eclipse $13 billion within the next seven years
Such rapid growth is expected to provide strategic expansion opportunities for innovative cultivation equipment suppliers like Sugarmade Inc.

Sugarmade Inc. (OTCQB: SGMD), a major supplier to the booming hydroponic cultivation sector, looks set to benefit from the many opportunities presented by the quickly expanding industrial hemp sector, as statistics indicate that the market is anticipated to reach $13.03 billion by 2026 from $4.63 billion in 2018, expanding at a CAGR of 13.7 percent (http://nnw.fm/M1qBs).

There are several reasons why this market is forecast to expand at such a rapid rate. Hemp is a highly versatile plant that can be cultivated as a renewable source for raw materials utilized by various industries. In addition, hemp is a very lucrative rotation crop due to its ability to detoxify the soil and take in carbon dioxide.

Several subdivisions of the industrial hemp sector are anticipated to grow at a much higher rate than the average. The hemp seed segment, in particular, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.1 percent through 2025 – an increase in demand attributed to mounting interest in products like hemp oil and nutraceuticals (http://nnw.fm/igx0Y). Hemp seeds feature approximately 35 percent oil, which is a much-needed resource for the production of various popular products.

The textile industry is also promoting growth, since hemp fiber can be used in the manufacture of fabrics, apparel, fine textiles and accessories. Additionally, the personal care industry is contributing to propelling industrial hemp, with body care products based on hemp growing in prominence as more and more people begin to understand the potential benefits that this resource brings to the table.

Animal care, food and beverages, paper, automotive and other industries come next in the list of sectors promoting the growth of industrial hemp.

All of this growing demand is expected to provide hemp cultivation equipment suppliers with significant strategic business opportunities.

As a major hydroponics cultivation sector supplier that also provides equipment to the hemp industry, Sugarmade expects to tap into these new opportunities to cement its position and continue growing its operations. In April 2019, the company entered into an agreement with Hempistry Inc. to deliver resources for plant micropropagation. The contract is anticipated to remain ongoing as Hempistry expands its operations domestically and internationally.

Legislative changes like the passing of the federal Farm Bill at the end of 2018 have enabled companies like Sugarmade to gain traction in the industrial hemp sector. In Kentucky alone, at least 42,000 acres of hemp will be planted in the near future, Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan said in a news release. When all of the other hemp cultivation states are also taken into consideration, it becomes easy to see how demand for quality equipment could multiply rapidly.

Forecasts for 2019 suggest that hydroponics and hemp cultivation are two of the top five agricultural investment trends. Hydroponics techniques can be adapted to many different crop varieties, allowing for more control over the growing environment and higher yields.

XLIVE Esports Summit Gets Underway in Gaming Capital of the US

If you want to get up to speed on gaming in America, then head to the XLIVE Esports Summit, now underway in Los Angeles, the gaming capital of the U.S. As the conference plays out over its three days, June 25-27, 2019, a galaxy of game stars and star gazers continue to descend on Hudson Loft in L.A. to discuss esports industry growth, fan engagement, talent development, brand partnerships, monetization strategies, technology implementation, team development, collegiate-pro ecosystems, player unions and much more. Hudson Loft is a photo, film and event space located in the South Park district of downtown Los Angeles, just two blocks east of the Staples Center and LA Live.

Esports participation is growing… fast. Estimated at 335 million in 2017, the number of people watching esports worldwide is expected to rise to 580 million by 2021 (http://nnw.fm/xUp4s). Right now, a lot of that growth is taking place in L.A., home to the largest esports organization in the world after the $100 million deal that brought Infinite Esports & Entertainment and Immortals Gaming Club together.

As this esports universe expands, its pulling in endorsements from a range of unlikely sponsors. A host of companies that offer products and services not directly used in esports are jumping on the esports bandwagon. The list of non-endemic brands being promoted in esports is long and growing longer. It includes household names like Chipotle, Coca-Cola, Nike, State Farm and Sephora. The XLIVE Esports Summit is the only event catering to both endemic brands, used directly by the industry, and non-endemic brands. It’s a gathering that offers the opportunity to learn from and build relationships with some of the leading organizations in the high growth esports industry, as well as to gain insights from a roster of close to 70 keynote speakers.

Time is running out. On Thursday, the Summit will wrap up with a closing reception in a suite at the Staples Center to watch some WNBA action, hosted by MGM Resorts International. However, there’s still time to make a play.

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF) Sees Massive Sales Growth, Undertakes Strategic Expansion Steps

Wildflower’s sales growth is directly related to its strategic partnerships and the launch of new products
The company’s CBD-infused products are now available at wellness guru Joel Warren’s ‘The Salon Project’ at Saks Fifth Avenue as part of a continued product offering expansion that began in March 2019
Wildflower is expected to continue working on new CBD and hemp-derived products in order to solidify its leading market position

Wildflower Brands Inc. (CSE: SUN) (OTCQB: WLDFF), a Vancouver-based company with an emphasis on plant-based health and wellness products, reported a 78 percent increase in sales for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019, reaching $2.5 million, according to an official company announcement (http://nnw.fm/8bHpB). The growth on a quarterly basis has been an ongoing trend since Wildflower initiated sales of its popular line of hemp CBD products.

Wildflower also announced financial results for City Cannabis Corp. – an entity that Wildflower aims to acquire in the coming weeks. City Cannabis had revenue of $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The opening of the company’s two stores in January contributed to these favorable financial results. Upon its finalization, the City Cannabis acquisition is expected to be accretive to Wildflower’s earnings.

Apart from announcing its financial results, Wildflower has also released statements about strategic steps undertaken in line with the company’s expansion efforts.

On May 30, 2019, Wildflower announced the launch of the company’s CBD infused products at wellness guru Joel Warren’s ‘The Salon Project’ (http://nnw.fm/C2LaA). The collaboration will give clients benefiting from the Saks Fifth Avenue salon services an opportunity to experience Wildflower products in a curated shop-in-shop CBD beauty corner.

Celebrity beauty and wellness icon Joel Warren has been a leader in the hair care industry for more than 30 years. His salon focuses on the delivery of a signature experience that brings together the know-how of stylists with the best beauty and wellness products.

This isn’t the first partnership announced by Wildflower in 2019. At the beginning of the year, the company initiated a strategic New York expansion which saw its products become available in more than 20 health and wellness stores throughout Manhattan (http://nnw.fm/UL1ef). New York became a city of focus due to its ability to set global trends. The move quickly paid off, as more than 40 percent of Wildflower’s online sales now come from the New York area.

Over time, Wildflower has been working to expand its product offerings – a strategic initiative that has enabled collaborations like the one with Warren.

In March 2019, the company announced that it was expanding its offerings through the introduction of Pure and Pure Plus tinctures. Both feature hemp-derived CBD, hemp seed oil and milk thistle. The tinctures provide relief from inflammation and support for healthy liver and heart function.

Wildflower announced that it will continue working on new releases as a part of the company’s ongoing product development efforts. The company has also announced plans to expand into Europe’s CBD market via an agreement with Poland-based wellness distribution company Two Towers and an extension of the Omega Rex pharmaceutical chain in the Warsaw area.

“Consumers are drawn to Wildflower because of the effectiveness and range of options available in our product lineup. The strong brand loyalty of Wildflower customers reflects the time and resources invested in our pipeline of products,” CEO William MacLean said in a news release (http://nnw.fm/k3r8A).

Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF) Looking to Dominate Cannabis Edibles Market in California

Plus Products’ brands have seized five spots in a top-10 lineup of California cannabis offerings, including the leading position
The company plans to expand its product line after recently completing a C$20 million capital raise
Plus Products has secured an option to purchase Emerald Bay Wellness LLC, a California-based cannabis oil manufacturer

What does it mean when a company has five of the top 10 edible SKUs in the largest cannabis market in the world? It could mean that, like Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF), it’s on its way to market control. Plus Products, based in San Mateo, California, has emerged as “the dominant manufacturer of edibles in California, which is no small feat,” according to Chris Parry, a marijuana marketing consultant for Yahoo Finance (http://nnw.fm/T65Ub). It’s no surprise, then, that Plus Products has been ranked as the top cannabis edibles brand in California (http://nnw.fm/HcHs2), and its financials have started to reflect that lofty status. Revenues for Q1 2019 were $3.24 million, marking a 272 percent increase year-over-year.

Plus Products has found a way into the hearts of residents in the Golden State, no doubt because its hugely popular cannabis-infused gummies and mints have found favor with their palates. The latest rankings compiled by data intelligence analyst Headset from retail sales data show the company’s products placing in the tenth, ninth, sixth, second and first positions in the gummy steeplechase (http://nnw.fm/5YbXP). Refresh – Pink Lemonade Gummies (30mg CBD, 70mg THC) was in tenth place; CBD/THC 9:1 Mango Gummies (90mg CBD,10mg THC) was in ninth; Create – Hybrid Sour Blueberry Gummies 20-Pack (100mg) took sixth place; Restore – Indica Blackberry Lemon Gummies 20-Pack (10mg CBD, 90mg THC) was in second; and Sour Watermelon Gummies 20-Pack (100mg) took the top spot. Of the other five places in the top 10, three went to one competitor and two to another.

Since its introduction in 2015, the PLUS brand has climbed to the top of the pack. Its performance reflects a focused strategy. Rather than being all things to all men, Plus Products has gone straight for the palate. PLUS operates through a wholly owned subsidiary, Carberry, and currently has five cannabis-infused gummy candy SKUs (in addition to limited edition SKUs) that are sold in over 200 licensed dispensaries and delivery services. All products under the PLUS brand are produced in the company’s 12,000-square-foot, food-safe cannabis manufacturing facility in Adelanto, California.

Plus Products came to market in October 2018. In an IPO on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE), the company offered 6,153,847 subordinate voting shares at a price of C$3.25 per share for total gross proceeds of C$20 million. The company’s shares have since been trading on the CSE under ticker symbol ‘PLUS’. The company intends to use the proceeds of the capital raise for new product development, to increase manufacturing capacity, to upgrade factory automation and to strengthen working capital.

Earlier in June, Plus Products announced that it had acquired an option to purchase Emerald Bay Wellness LLC, a California-based cannabis oil manufacturer. The option grants PLUS the irrevocable right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the business assets of Emerald Bay Extracts for cash and stock consideration (http://nnw.fm/Vij81).
