CannAssist International Corp. (CNSC) Is ‘One to Watch’

  • In July 2020, CannAssist International became among the first U.S.-based CBD companies to have its securities listed for trading onto a U.S. public capital market
  • Xceptor Labs uses proprietary technology to create CBD products that it believes have better absorption than currently marketed oil-based products
  • The company currently has five creams that utilize ingredients with National Drug Codes that are registered with the FDA
  • The company’s Xceptol line of topical pain cream products, formulated using its proprietary CiBiDinol technology, was launched in September 2020. The company has since added capsules and, very soon, tinctures and pet drops
  • The company’s marketing structure for Xceptol includes social media campaigns featuring celebrities and former athletes represented through Freedman Sports Promotional Relations
  • CannAssist is currently targeting North America, Central America, South America, South Africa, the EU, the UK and the Philippines as viable product markets
  • Strategic partnerships have already collaborated in sourcing, manufacturing, processing, laboratory, distribution, public relations and legal representation
  • The global market for cannabidiol is expanding steadily and is forecast to reach $23.6 billion in 2025

CannAssist International (OTCQB: CNSC), owner of Xceptor Labs, is a biotechnological pharmaceutical and wellness company marketing the Xceptol consumer brand.

CannAssist, a Delaware corporation, was established in May 2017 and is headquartered in San Diego County, California.

2018 Farm Bill and CBD Market Size

Signed into law in December 2018, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) removed hemp from its classification as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.

There are over 100 known cannabinoids within the hemp plant. The two most commonly utilized cannabinoids are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). Cannabinoids have been shown to affect the endocannabinoid system within the human body, which is why CBD has demonstrated effectiveness as a therapeutic option when delivered through the right absorption avenues.

The 2018 Farm Bill is expected to have a sustained impact on the growth of the cannabidiol market and related sectors. In 2018, the global cannabidiol market was valued at $4.6 billion, and it’s expected to increase almost sixfold by 2025, reaching $23.6 billion (https://ibn.fm/PL6PO).

This growth is expected to provide multiple opportunities to CannAssist and its high-quality, high-performance brands, including products currently under development. Based on current revenue from licensing agreements, retail sales and the Xceptol brand’s international distribution, the company expects to reach first-year sales of $5 million. With additional products in the pipeline and an unwavering commitment to quality and effectiveness, the company expects to see steady sales growth in the years ahead.

Xceptor Labs

Xceptor Labs is an R&D and raw material manufacturing company that partners with TakaUSA, in Coppell, Texas, for contract manufacturing and production services.

CiBiDinol Technology

Xceptor Labs’ technology, CiBiDinol, is formulated using a proprietary process developed by CannAssist Founder Mark Palumbo. It is specifically designed to address many critical issues with oil-soluble CBD molecules, including delivery, bioavailability and short shelf-life. This technology provides the basis for Xceptor Labs and Xceptol consumer products.

CiBiDinol is believed to provide CBD in a format that is more in line with the body’s natural bioactivity. The company’s proprietary processes are used to combine CBD molecules with penetration enhancing cyclodextrin, effectively modifying the CBD molecule’s surface and rendering it water dispersible. This technology enhances absorption through the skin and gut.

The company believes that CBD products created using its CiBiDinol technology offer more predictable potency and enable reduced dosage requirements. This technology clears the way for a wide variety of products, including many oil-soluble active ingredients and highly effective consumer product applications.

Independent Testing

Third-party testing has confirmed that products made with CiBiDinol demonstrate a 400 percent increase in skin penetration as compared to regular CBD in oil carriers alone, as well as a 300 percent higher absorption rate in the gut. The company believes that the results indicate that the amount of CBD needed to achieve targeted endpoints can be significantly lower, resulting in lower costs for manufacturers and consumers with little to no side effects.

“Oversight of manufacturing and third-party testing of this ingredient produced consumer products designed to provide clinicians and consumers safe, effective, and affordable treatment options to address their health and wellness concerns,” Palumbo said in a news release.

CiBiDinol is currently being evaluated for safety by the National Science Foundation for Global Recognition and has been submitted to the FDA’s bulk drug substance program. The company is developing a commerce pathway in each state’s pharmaceutical distribution network through the National Board of Pharmacies. The company aims to capture increasing market share through product extensions and advancements by seeking critical third-party analysis and physician feedback regarding its proprietary technology’s attributes. Xceptor Labs intends to offer licensing arrangements for brand-consumer companies.

Xceptol Products

CiBiDinol technology is the foundation for Xceptor Labs and the Xceptol line of products, including topical creams, capsules, tinctures and pet drops. The Xceptol line began launching its products in September 2020, and it currently has five National Drug Code topical pain creams utilizing ingredients registered with the FDA.

Xceptol products will be sold online, through Range Me, as well as through national and international retail and pharmaceutical distributors. Marketing for Xceptol products is planned through multiple social media campaigns including using celebrities and former athletes associated with Freedman Sports Promotional Relations.

Xceptol is establishing sales channels in North America, Central America, South America, South Africa, the EU, the UK and the Philippines.
