This slow uptake is due to the lack of information about the health and environmental impacts of the technology. For example, there is a concern whether ingested nanomaterials migrate to different parts of the body and accumulate in certain organs, such as liver and kidneys. This may then affect the functionality of these organs in the medium to long term.
This part concerns me if it turns out to be true. With every player except SPR rolling out this tech, if it turns out to be some crazy health scare down the road, I'm worried SPR gets lumped in with the rest (good chance of this as the industry's hands are tied in terms of consumer education and brand differentiation). If the worst-case scenario does play out, hoping the baby doesn't get thrown out with the bathwater.
There are two scenarios...
If there is a viable health concern associated with nanotechnology, to the point where the government steps in to curtail it, ( eg. “sorry Hill Street, sorry Molson Coors... your harsh chemical nanotech beverage isn’t compliant) ....well this will only be vindication for Sproutly and good for Sproutly investors.
If, on the other hand, there is no government intervention and the increasingly large percentage of the consumer market that cares to read a label, and cares to seek out a 100% bio available, strain specific, whole plant medicine delivering, 100 % organic product (eg. the target market for cannabis consumables) ...well this will only be vindication for Sproutly and good for Sproutly investors.
