Rumors? topical cannabidiol oil? Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 18, 2017) - The Jenex Corporation (TSXV: JEN.H) ('Jenex' or the 'Company'), a progressive medical device technology company, would like to report the testing of a topical cannabidiol ('CBD') oil from hemp with Jenex's platform technology, including Jenex's TherOZap™ device. The topical cannabidiol oil will be included in the lab tests, to be conducted through University Health Network and coordinated through Techna Institute at UHN located in Toronto, Ontario, to determine the effectiveness at inactivating both the Zika and West Nile viruses as previously announced on April 7th, 2017.
There is a growing body of clinical research demonstrating CBD's potential therapeutic uses against viruses. The clinical research is revealing and is demonstrating that CBD can have positive health effects as CBD increases nitric oxide levels in the human body which may prove to be an effective treatment to combat viral infections such as the Zika and West Nile viruses. There are high levels of CBD in hemp but almost no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component that is prevalent in cannabis.
Jenex will work with partners in the medical marijuana industry to license a topical CBD oil or working through formulators Jenex will create its own topical CBD oil to be used with the TherOZap™ device. Several natural health products in topical formulations with unique delivery systems could be developed.
Rob Fia, CEO commented:
'We are excited to test our platform technology, including our TherOZap™ device, with a topical cannabidiol oil. Our platform technology combined with a unique CBD topical delivery system may prove beneficial in potentially combating the increasingly troublesome Zika virus problem now affecting many parts of the world.'
