Update: Veritas Farms Signs Memorandum of Understanding to Exclusively License Proprietary Extraction Technology


Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Veritas Farms, Inc. (OTCQB: VFRM) (“Veritas Farms” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated agribusiness focused on the production of full spectrum hemp oil products with naturally occurring cannabinoids, is pleased to announce the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with an international technology company to exclusively license and bring a proprietary extraction technique to the domestic U.S. hemp industry.

The proprietary patent-pending extraction process utilizes water-soluble technology to extract the natural full-spectrum essence of the hemp plant, including all of its cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.  The technology, demonstrated to be effective in Canada on other types of agricultural products, provides extracts that are more easily absorbed by the human body due to their stable micro-molecular structure and greatly improves the efficiency, sustainability, and cleanliness of extraction processes by eliminating the use of solvents. Additionally, we believe that water-based extraction offers users the opportunity to improve the bottom line by providing longer shelf life and lower up-front costs by reducing the steps and components required to extract full spectrum hemp oil.

The proprietary extraction technology is currently being further tested at the Company’s Pueblo, Colorado facility where on-going validation studies are being performed.  Alexander M. Salgado, CEO of Veritas Farms, believes “the validation of this technology could potentially result in a paradigm shift in the extraction and formulation of whole hemp plant products sold in the U.S.”
