VANCOUVER, British Columbia , Feb. 26, 2018 --

– via NetworkWire - NeutriSci International Inc. (the "Company" or "NeutriSci") (TSX-V:NU) (OTCQB:NRXCF) (Frankfurt:1N9) and Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (“Lexaria”) (CSE:LXX) (OTCQX:LXRP) are pleased to announce that they have revised their joint venture agreement such that NeutriSci now owns 100% of Ambarii Trade Corporation (“Ambarii”), and Lexaria has granted to NeutriSci, an Intellectual Property License and Supply Agreement (the “License Agreement”) for the manufacturing and sale of CBD based products.

Under the License Agreement, NeutriSci will continue the development and sales of the Company’s proprietary Sublingual mouth-melt consumer products that incorporate Lexaria’s technology for enhancing palatability and bioavailability of beneficial non-psychoactive cannabinoids in NeutriSci’s existing and pipeline product formats and Lexaria will earn ongoing royalty revenues.

“The relationship between our companies has evolved in a positive fashion and allows us each to focus on our core competencies which should benefit all stakeholders,” commented Chris Bunka, Lexaria CEO. “NeutriSci has developed a unique form factor that can now be empowered with Lexaria’s complementary technology which also allows consumers everywhere to benefit.”
