Lexaria Hires Investor Relations Firm

Kelowna, BC / August 11, 2015 / Lexaria, Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP) (CSE:LXX) (the “Company”) announces it has hired Blue Ocean Advisors of San Diego, CA to assist in communicating its corporate, financial and long-term investment messages to shareholders and investors, while continuing the existing progress of building a strong public brand and investor base.

Colin Gibson, Managing Director of Blue Ocean Advisors LLC, will personally direct the Blue Ocean team in advising the Company in all facets of corporate and financial communications. Blue Ocean Advisors LLC has been engaged for an initial period of 60 days with total compensation of $5,000.

“Lexaria is the rare, unique company with an opportunity to capitalize on the rapid evolution of both hemp and cannabis products marketed to consumers,” said Colin Gibson, Managing Director. “With hemp, we have a federally legal substance that is increasingly being viewed as a superfood for the benefit of consumers. Lexaria has also developed technology that could one day be of interest to the pharmaceutical industry for a broad range of applications. As well, I have personally enjoyed ViPova tea and can attest to its great taste.”

While CEO Chris Bunka has always tried to have an open-door policy with investors, Lexaria’s increasingly demanding schedule precludes him from being consistently available. Investors can now also contact Blue Ocean Advisors at 619-344-2730 with inquiries about Lexaria.

Lexaria’s technology is designed to allow for higher bioavailability rates for THC and for CBD than is possible without lipophilic enhancement technology. This can allow for lower overall dosing requirements and/or higher effectiveness in active molecule delivery. Lexaria’s innovative lipid formulation process is designed to allow the delivery of molecules such as are contained within hemp oil without the harmful side effects of ingestion via smoking, and should be embraced for the benefits to public health.
