DRUG DELIVERY PLATFORM INNOVATOR

Lexaria Bioscience Corp's. (Nasdaq: LEXX) proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH™, improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules. The Company's technology can be applied to many different ingestible product formats, including, oral suspensions, tablets, capsules, and more. DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated since 2016 with cannabinoids and nicotine the ability to increase bio-absorption by up to 5-10x, reduce time of onset from 1 - 2 hours to minutes, and mask unwanted tastes; and is also planned for evaluation for anti-virals, vitamins, non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and more. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies, including a world- leading tobacco producer for the development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles, and oral products. Lexaria operates a licensed in-house research laboratory and holds a robust intellectual property portfolio with 18 patents granted and approximately 60 patents pending worldwide.
