KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 14, 2015 / Lexaria, Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP) (CSE:LXX) (the Company) is pleased to announce, effective immediately, new lower pricing for all its existing products. The new pricing is the result of greater manufacturing efficiencies as a result of technological advancements.
Lexaria has also unveiled a new black tea infused with hemp oil packaged in teabags as a starter or introductory product to the ViPova(TM) line. The ViPova(TM) Starter teabags contain lower amounts of hemp oil than our full-strength line. In response to consumer demand and as a result of the manufacturing efficiencies recently developed, ViPova(TM) Starter is priced competitively with other premium teas that contain no hemp oil at all. Vipova Starter tea is available in quantities as low as four teabags priced for only US$10.
This is a dramatic entry into lower priced markets, allowing all consumers the ability to experience the active ingredients delivered through the patent-pending, bioavailability enhancing, ViPova(TM) technology.
Delicious, original full strength ViPova(TM) hemp oil black tea has meanwhile been reduced in price, and is now available at just US$24 for a pack of 8 convenient teabags. Lexarias improving economies of scale have resulted in cost savings which the Company is passing along to the consumer. Lexaria is excited to be able to lower prices to this degree and still earn a per unit profit.
Finally, the original 1.5 oz tin of loose tea sufficient for 25 servings will not remain in production as consumers have shown a clear preference for tea bags. As a result the remaining tins have been slashed to a clearance price of just US$60. This clearance price is only applicable for so long as supplies last, and once the remaining product is sold, the loose leaf tea format will be discontinued. All these products are available now through the www.vipova.com website.
As part of our way of saying Thank You to all our previous customers in 2015 who paid higher original prices, we will be sending them all a free gift this summer, reflecting their early adoption of our products and taking into account our price reductions this year.
ViPova(TM) tea is also now available at select Southern California medical marijuana dispensaries. Beginning within the next two weeks our first direct sales efforts to specialized San Francisco and San Diego area dispensaries will begin and is expected to lead to additional new locations to buy ViPova(TM) products. Our focused sales efforts to medical marijuana dispensaries in select US locations is expected to continue throughout the year.
ViPova(TM) tea is still not available at Amazon.com because of Amazons inconsistent policies regarding the sale of legal hemp products. Instead consumers can now buy ViPova Tea(TM) on EBay whose policies are more progressive. We encourage online shoppers to consider placing their orders for ViPova tea at EBay.com. Lexaria continues to work towards making our line of products available at other progressive online retailers.
ViPova(TM) customers should also watch for news in the near future, announcing exciting new products to be unveiled soon. The Company has been busy formulating new product recipes and expects to make several new product introductions in August and September.
Lexarias technology is designed to allow for higher bioavailability rates for THC and for CBD than is possible without lipophilic enhancement technology. This can allow for lower overall dosing requirements and/or higher effectiveness in active molecule delivery. Lexarias innovative lipid formulation process is designed to allow the delivery of molecules such as are contained within hemp oil without the harmful side effects of ingestion via smoking, and should be embraced for the benefits to public health.
