VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTCQB:BOSQF) (Frankfurt:YG3) is pleased to announce it has completed initial designs for a commercial hemp root oil production facility, and sourced and ordered key equipment for its proprietary extraction technology.
After reviewing the data from its hemp root oil production to date, Yield Growth designed a state-of-the-art system to enhance the traditional Ayurvedic methods of extraction that produce a consistent, high-quality product.
In Ayurveda, roots are considered the most healing part of the plant, and have been used in medicine for over 5,000 years. While the ancient extraction methods retain the integrity of the medicinal properties of the plant, they are labour-intensive and time consuming. Conversely, the available modern techniques often dilute the health benefits of the plant and its derivatives. Through innovation and proprietary technologies, Yield Growth has developed a new, scalable extraction method that retains Ayurvedic principles and preserves the beneficial properties of the plant. The result: an efficient and effective process that yields high-quality hemp root oil.
Yield Growth will continue to innovate and conduct further research on creating cannabidiol from industrial hemp over the next few quarters. The versatility of the new equipment allows further refinement to the process of extracting cannabinoids from industrial hemp that are exempt from the Cannabis Act. Yield Growth will continue to develop unique products through its patent-pending extraction technology—and enhance the bioavailability of botanicals through the skin.
Extraction equipment will arrive within weeks, allowing for the production and testing of sample batches of hemp root oil using the enhanced design. Yield Growth anticipates the new commercial hemp root oil extraction facility will be fully operational by late 2019.
Yield Growth has engaged Winning Media to develop market awareness for potential investors through digital marketing. Yield Growth also engages CFN Media, Stockhouse Publishing, Market IQ Media, and the Globe & Mail for digital advertising and sponsored content related to corporate brand awareness.
