Anaheim, CA, June 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. (OTC: LVVV) announced today that it has assembled a high-caliber and world-renown research team to commence with a research project for the effectiveness of treatments derived from CBD for several under-investigated conditions in the equestrian sector. The research will be conducted especially for high-performance horses in the hunter/jumper and dressage sectors.
LiveWire Ergogenics has established a high-caliber research team with some of the leading experts in the US performance equestrian field. The team is comprised of a leading US veterinarian, an Internationally recognized Equestrian and Olympian rider and coach and a team of accomplished and well-respected US riders and coaches. The team is currently training on an International level at Ad Astra Stables, one of the leading equestrian facilities in California. LiveWire's research team also plans to engage with leading industry experts and enter strategic alliances with medical research departments of California universities to expand research in this newly emerging industry sector.
The Company has established a dedicated and permitted CBD/cannabis research section on the newly acquired Estrella Ranch and Nursery property in Paso Robles, California to collaborate with and coordinate the company's research teams in its different locations.

Bill Hodson, CEO of LiveWire Ergogenics states, "We are very pleased that we have been able to establish the equine research team as one of our first research projects with such an esteemed group of equestrian experts. Our recent acquisition of the Estrella Ranch property in Paso Robles will enable us to support the explorations of the group better than ever before. We are looking forward to begin the work soon and will make every effort to accelerate the advancement of the medical knowledge in the field, support the continuing effort for further legalization and to eventually provide credible and high-quality applications that will benefit the entire equestrian field."
The Equestrian Sector
In the embryonic CBD equestrian market, it is critically important for a product’s long-term success to establish the credibility of the research team and the subsequent product development approach. The research must demonstrate that high-quality and pure extracts of CBD can be efficiently produced, tested and delivered and the safety of its application is guaranteed. This is the focus of LiveWire Ergogenics' equine research and development team. The company believes that there is significant opportunity to capitalize on the existing need in the legal over-the-counter market for such products. Based on current studies, CBD seems well suited for application in the equine market to ease joint pain and inflammation, support cardiovascular health, reduce muscle glycogen depletion and fatigue, improve the condition of skin, coat, hooves, and tail, and act as an anti-anxiety aid for horses, especially high-performance horses in eventing and dressage
