DORAL, Florida, Feb. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) (“ETST" or the “Company"), an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, today announces a distribution agreement to market its Hygee™ medical device in Vietnam, as well as provides an update on its CBD product line.
As ETST nears the completion of its first commercial batch of Hygee™, Queen Concept Inc. for the next five years will be the exclusive distributor of Hygee™ in Vietnam. The distributor will have access to the stock needed for the Vietnamese market.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that all pregnant women be tested for chlamydia in order to avoid serious complications for the mother and the baby. Vietnam records 1.7 million pregnancies each year. It is also recommended that all sexually active women between the ages of 15 and 25 get tested yearly. In Vietnam, roughly 7.5 million women are within this demographic. To learn more, visit: https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats17/chlamydia.htm
“We are ready to export Hygee™ in Asia and the Middle East – starting with Vietnam – which will act as a proving ground for the coming introduction of Hygee™ in the other countries we will target,” said ETST Chairman Nickolas Tabraue. “Our testing protocols are ready to conduct high throughput screening for genital chlamydia anywhere around the world.”
Per the agreement, Queen Concept will also plan and execute a chlamydia prevalence study that will use the device in a targeted cohort of 200 young women at high risk of contracting the sexually transmitted infection. This prelaunch clinical study aims to demonstrate Hygee™’s efficiency and support the establishment of a licensed laboratory in Vietnam to conduct in vitro molecular diagnostics for the device. Initially, laboratory analyses will be done in Montreal, Canada. The technical knowledge will be transferred to the new Vietnamese lab once it is established.
Hygee™’s branding will be protected in Vietnam, and ETST expects that this protection will extend to other countries as it expands its product availability.
New CBD Product Update
ETST is also pleased to announce the upcoming launch of three products, starting with the PropoDiol throat spray announced in December 2018. This new formula was developed as a joint venture with Laboratoire Bionatus Pharmacognosique Inc., the Canadian division of Brazil’s Bionatus Pharmaceutical Laboratory.
Key to the development of this new product was the integration of ETST’s High Grade Full Spectrum Cannabinoids Oil.
In March, ETST will meet with representatives of Bionatus in the Company’s Florida offices to discuss the U.S. launch of PropoDiol, to review of the regulatory compliance, and to plan for future cooperation.
