Phoenix, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2021) - The Stock Day Podcast welcomed Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) ("the Company"), a company with a proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH™, which improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream. CEO of the Company, Chris Bunka, joined Stock Day host Everett Jolly.

Jolly began the interview by commenting on a recent press release detailing the Company's involvement in the hypertension market. "What are your thoughts about your company and your valuation going forward?", asked Jolly. "The hypertension market is obviously very large, it has been around a long time, and it is a mature market," explained Bunka before elaborating on the Company's competitors in this sector. "We're all using CBD, but in Lexaria's case we have clinical data that evidences that with our DehydraTECH process CBD absorbs into the body two to five times more effectively," he explained. "So, I think we have a competitive product, a competitive technology, but a mismatch, a dichotomy, in the market valuation."

"We're very excited about pursuing the hypertension market. We have five studies that will be happening this year, three human clinical studies and two animal studies already underway in 2021," said Bunka. "We think there is really going to be a major shift in the way people see us in the months to come."

"There are over a billion people, 1.1 billion, around the world who suffer from hypertension," said Bunka. "This is the silent killer," he added. "It's a huge market and we really believe we have a better solution."

"Could you explain what you are trying to accomplish in the hypertension market with CBD?", asked Jolly. "Only one person in five who has hypertension is actually treating it," explained Bunka. "If everybody who has hypertension was treating it, it would be a much larger market," he continued. "The side effects of most of the drugs used to treat hypertension are so bad that, in some cases, they are worse than the disease itself, including irreversible organ damage to your liver."

"We try to work symbiotically with the body," shared Bunka. "In that vein, the idea of using CBD, cannabidiol, to treat hypertension is really interesting," he said, noting that the Company previously had success lowering blood pressure with 90mg doses of DehydraTECH CBD in a clinical study. "In our upcoming studies we're going to be using 300mg and 450mg doses of CBD, and of course with a stronger dose we're expecting a bigger result," said Bunka. "CBD is really well tolerated by human beings; so even with our new 300mg and 450mg doses, we believe we will be well under the threshold of any negative side effects."

Bunka then elaborated on the Company's potential in revolutionizing the hypertension market, as well as the opportunity this may represent to investors. "Lexaria is only trading at around $5 per share and we only have 5 million shares in existence. We might be the most undervalued biotech company you've ever encountered."

"The work that is coming up in the weeks and months ahead is meant to confirm all of the work that we have been doing for the last three years," said Bunka. "It could be a paradigm shift in the way the world looks at treating hypertension. If we are successful, we believe we will have a path to the world's most efficacious and safe hypertension drug ever developed."

To close the interview, Bunka encouraged listeners and shareholders to do their due diligence and consider the Company's investment potential given their current valuation. "We only just got listed on the NASDAQ in January, most people do not know we exist, we have $9 million in the bank, plenty of money to run the company through the end of 2022, we're in the strongest shape we have ever been, and I don't think there has ever been a better time to own Lexaria than right now," closed Bunka.
