$ETST Earth Science Tech Announces the Development of 3 New Advanced Formulated Cannabis CBD Nutraceuticals and 2 Cannabis CBD-Based Pharmaceutical Drugs under its Cannabis CBD Patent, IP and Technology

Ft. Lauderdale, Dec. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC PINK: ETST) ("ETST" or "the Company"), an innovative biotech company focused on Cannabis (industrial hemp) Cannabinoid Research and Development, Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals, and Medical Devices; announces the R&D of three new advanced CBD nutraceutical products and two CBD-based pharmaceutical drugs using the Company’s Cannabis CBD Patent, IP, Invention, Technology and future Technology. ETST’s International Application (PCT) for its Provisional Patent named “Cannabidiol Compositions Including Mixtures and Uses Thereof” was filed on October 8th, 2015 in regards to its Cannabis Hemp CBD (Cannabidiol) Oil. This application claims the benefit of ETST U.S. Provisional Application N. 62/061,577, filed October 8, 2014 and ETST U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/102,538, filed January 12, 2015.

ETST and its CEO, Dr. Michel Aube, is in discussions and working on a joint venture in Canada that will give the Company access to state of the art laboratory facilities to develop these ETST World Class Cannabis health and wellness Nutraceuticals products and Cannabis CBD-Based Pharmaceutical Drugs to help alleviate certain conditions and disorders.

ETST has chosen to target diseases for which, the benefits of CBD have already been demonstrated by different groups of researchers around the world. However, it is through ETST’s first in vitro study that results confirm the effectiveness of CBD on breast cancer, immune cell function, and human brain cells by acting as a neuroprotectant in its International (application (PCT) and provisional patent. Thus, as a result by mixing natural molecules and generic pharmaceutical drugs with CBD we intend to increase the effectiveness of CBD and improve the treatment of different diseases.

ETST’s CBD-Nutraceutical (functional food) products are designed to alleviate common symptoms and prevent illnesses. The products can improve the overall wellbeing of an individual such as; brain function, diabetes, inflammation, and immune cell functions.

ETST is targeting the above mentioned conditions as CBD continuously proves to work against each of them at cellular level. Starting with our recent research in deciphering the molecular action of CBD, ETST has been carefully choosing natural molecules that compliment or support CBD as well as developing formulations that blend CBD with whole plant extracts and pure natural molecules that are natural antioxidants and/or flavonoids. Together these ingredients work synergistically with CBD to improve detoxification of the brain and the liver, while improving immune function and diabetes. ETST’s advanced products will deliver the CBD molecule at maximum efficiency and will be available to everyone to continue improving lives worldwide.

Dr. Michel Aubé, ETST’s CEO & CSO states, “ETST CBD-Pharmaceutical Drugs will be designed to treat a variety of things including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, triple negative breast cancer, and fatty liver disease. Together, these diseases and disorders represent a massive market. Mental disorders are increasing worldwide. I look forward into soon discussing further details in regards to the R&D of our Cannabis CBD-Pharmaceutical Drug Pipeline. According to the World Health Organization, between 1990 and 2013 the number of people suffering from depression and/or anxiety increased by nearly 50%. Depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy US$1 trillion each year. The substantial burden of anxiety-related disorders and the limitations of existing treatments give urgency to developing novel pharmaceutical treatments.”

Dr. Michel Aubé, ETST’s CEO & CSO continuos , “With my team of scientific researchers and laboratory resources in Canada, ETST now has the scientific expertise and the clinical support needed to develop these Cannabis CBD based products for the health benefit of people worldwide. Having several additional unique, advanced CBD nutraceutical products on the market will grant ETST a competitive advantage, thus consequently solidifying its leadership position in that market. Our two planned CBD-Based Pharmaceutical drugs will allow us to enter a new industry, making us one of the very few companies in this arena.

It has been shown both in vitro and in vivo that CBD can improve the efficiency of existing breast cancer chemotherapy either in an additive or synergetic manner. We already know that CBD modulates Id-1 gene expression, which is a partial explanation of the mechanism by which CBD acts on breast cancer. We will take advantage of this interaction between CBD and Id-1 expression to develop a drug against triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). There is currently no appropriate treatment for this disease. Many clinical trials with TNBC patients are comparing the effectiveness of various older and newer chemotherapy medications, used in different combinations. It will be very interesting to test the potential of CBD to improve old medicines.”

Hepatic (liver) endocannabinoid levels are similar to those in the brain and they are important in the regulation of hepatic hemodynamics, fibrogenesis, as well as lipid metabolism, and in the dysregulation of these functions in liver pathological states. CBD has been shown in vivo to be efficient in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is the most common liver disease throughout the world. Several studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress is a major trigger of the progression of NAFLD to steato-hepatitis (non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis: NASH). NASH leads to exacerbation of inflammatory response and to liver cell dysfunction. A report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis market is expected to garner $1.6 billion by 2020 in North America alone. The high prevalence of Type II diabetes and obesity, which lead to NASH and NAFLD, will sustain that market’s growth. Type II diabetes shares many aspects of NAFLD, and other inflammatory processes in the adipose tissue and liver. Most non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients are obese and at high risk of developing Type II diabetes. The number of patients living with diabetes worldwide is nearly 400 million and is expected to be more than 500 million by 2030.
