Better Choice Company Enters Research Agreement with Green Element to Test Anxiety-Reducing Potential in CBD Dog Treats 


NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Better Choice Company, Inc. (OTCQB: BTTR) (the “Company”), an animal health and wellness CBD company, today announced that the Company has entered into a research partnership with Green Element BV (“Green Element”), a Dutch research firm, to conduct clinical research in the Netherlands on the anxiety reduction potential of Better Choice CBD canine products.

The goal of the clinical study is to assess the efficacy of CBD dog products in reducing anxiety symptoms among canines diagnosed with separation and social anxiety. The clinical study is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 2019 and last between six to eight months, at which time the data will be evaluated.

“Currently, there is little to no available scientific research on the effects of CBD administration on behavioral disorders in companion animals. This shortage of data needs to be addressed to enable a more effective and reliable development of animal CBD products,” said Damian Dalla-Longa, Co-CEO of Better Choice. “Working in partnership with Green Element allows Better Choice to take vital steps forward in such an under-researched field.”

“Unlocking the mechanism behind CBD’s effects on large animals through clinical trials is a critical investment of our time and resources. We are fully committed to working with our partners at Better Choice to share in this discovery,” added Dr. Oran Marvan, Director of Veterinary Research at Green Element.
