Lexaria is initally focused on disrupting the $990B nicotine and $14B cannabis markets
▪ Lexaria out-licenses its disruptive patented technology platform for fast, flavorless & more effective oral drug delivery as a healthier alternative to common consumer product formats such as smoking/vaping: ▪
Nicotine, Cannabinoids, NSAIDs, Fat-Soluble Vitamins, PDE5 Inhibitors
▪ Introducing Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH™:
▪ DehydraTECH’s dehydration processing reaction changes how the body detects and absorbs drugs; ▪ Faster onset/offset and higher bioavailability in capsules, foods, liquids, mixable powders, etc.; ▪ Also tested in topical product formats with faster/higher bioabsorption rates; and ▪ 16 patents granted (>60 pending) covering method-of-use, composition-of-matter and medical treatment claims
▪ Partnered with Altria Group to disrupt the $990 billion global nicotine market
▪ Up to $12 million Altria-funded R&D partnership & license to develop oral nicotine consumer products
▪ 8 existing cannabinoid (THC, CBD) licensees utilizing DehydraTECH ▪ Also applicable to fat-soluble vitamins, NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aspirin) and PDE5 Inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis)

Simple and cost effective Increases bioavailability Improves speed of onset Masks unwanted taste
Eliminates the need for sugar- filled edibles. Competitive with less healthy methods like inhalation Effects are felt within 10-20 min (vs. 60-120 min). Easy to implement
Patented technology changes how Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) enter the body orally Increases brain absorption
Animal testing confirms up to 19x improvement

Process: Results:
Fatty acids are believed to block and shunt bound APIs away from bitter taste receptors*
1) Combine API and Fatty Acid Oil
LCFA: sunflower oil +
2) Apply to food/carrier particles
e.g.: sorbitol, gum Arabic, etc.
3) Perform dehydration procedure

Small intestine quickly absorbs LCFAs into lymphatics (bypassing first pass liver effect) and MCFAs via the liver*** Lipids enable gastric protection and rapid passage**
API = Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient LCFA = Long Chain Fatty Acid; MCFA = Medium Chain Fatty Acid
e.g.: ∆9-THC Colloidal Complex ∆9-THC
11-OH-THC
4) Render as powder or liquid nanoemulsion suitable for use in desired final form factor

Plasma cannabidiol (CBD) concentration in 10 male Sprague-Dawley rats administered at 25mg per kg of bodyweight. Delivery of CBD into the bloodstream was monitored over a 60-minute duration. At 15 minutes DehydraTECH’s LCFA formulation achieved a CBD blood concentration level that was 475% more than the MCT oil formulation. Over the entire 60-minute study, the animals that received the standard DehydraTECH long chain fatty acid (LCFA) formulation achieved an average maximum CBD blood concentration level that was 334% more than the average maximum blood concentration level of the animals that received the MCT oil formulation (p<0.0021). Over the entire 60-minute study, the area under the curve (AUC) (total quantity of CBD delivered) for the Lexaria DehydraTECH LCFA formulation was 389% more than the MCT oil formulation (p<0.0011).

Investor Presentation
10 male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered an identically sourced CBD at a rate of 25mg per kg of bodyweight. Delivery of CBD into the bloodstream was measured at 2; 4; 6; 8; 12; 15; 30; 45; and 60 minutes after dosing. Enhanced DehydraTECH delivered roughly twice as much CBD to animal blood at all measured time points in the study from the 15-minute mark onwards, compared to traditional DehydraTECH; and during the same time points from 717% to 1098% more CBD than the generic industry MCT coconut oil formulations. Enhanced DehydraTECH delivered more CBD to blood in just 12 minutes than the MCT coconut-oil formulation was able to achieve at any point during the 1- hour test duration. Enhanced DehydraTECH is even faster acting, reaching a maximum blood concentration level (“Tmax”) in just 45 minutes compared to traditional DehydraTECH at 50 minutes and the MCT coconut oil formulation at 57 minutes. Also of note, Enhanced DehydraTECH delivered 1,937% more CBD into animal brain tissue after 8 hours compared to generic industry MCT coconut oil formulations; and 487% more than traditional DehydraTECH.
