VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pure Extracts Technologies Corp. (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ) (“Pure Extracts” or the “Company”), a plant-based extraction company focused on cannabis, hemp, functional mushrooms and the rapidly emerging psychedelic sector, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pure Mushrooms Corp., has submitted a Class 3 licence application to Health Canada’s Natural and Non-Prescription Health Products Directorate for the non-monograph claims of cognitive health for its Lion’s Mane product.

A Lion’s Mane Class 3 licence would augment the Company’s existing Class 1 licence granted by Health Canada on April 7, 2021 and would allow the Company to include cognitive health benefits in the product’s description. This Lion’s Mane product, when licensed, would be available for sale on the Company’s Amazon online e-Commerce store, complimenting the current portfolio consisting of reishi and maitake functional wellness products. Current products are appealing to both men and women with 57% of purchases coming from men and 43% from women with the most sales occurring in California followed by Florida then Georgia.

The initial Class 1 Lion’s Mane product launch is expected to occur in Q4 2021 along with the Company’s new blended mushroom product, with the Class 3 Lion’s Mane product launch expected to occur in Q1 2022. The formulation, packaging, branding and distribution knowledge garnered from the functional mushroom wellness product space is laying the foundation for the Company’s development of psychedelic mushroom products that will commence in earnest once the Company receives its Dealer’s Licence in accordance with its application filed with Health Canada in March of this year.

Pure Extracts’ CEO, Ben Nikolaevsky, remarked, “We are excited to be creating more Pure Mushrooms’ products for our direct-to-consumer, online store. The functional mushroom wellness market is experiencing robust sales as many consumers are trying to boost their immune systems in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we build-out our mushroom extraction facility, we plan to bring more products to market.”
