NEWS RELEASE

Lexaria Announces Product Update and International Expansion

Kelowna, BC—October 8, 2015 - Lexaria Corp. (LXRP-OTCQB) (LXX-CSE) (the "Company" or "Lexaria") is pleased to announce that the manufacturing process to infuse active hemp oil utilizing Lexaria’s patent pending technology designed to provide higher bioavailability, has been completed for both coffee and hot chocolate. Both products are currently under packaging development and will be available for our customers soon.

Once the products have been delivered to our Phoenix distribution facility, ViPova Coffee and Hot Chocolate will be available for purchase both through our online store at www.vipova.com; and also at our growing network of retail locations. Lexaria will announce when these two products are available to be purchased.

Vipova tea is currently available at a growing number of dispensaries across California. Contract sales efforts will also be made during the next 3 months, for dispensaries in Nevada; Oregon and Colorado. These new sales initiatives will continue to broaden the availability of ViPova products.

Lexaria has also determined that it will soon make ViPova and Lexaria Energy products available for sale into the United Kingdom, due to a favorable regulatory environment and to increased consumer demand. Initially, sales will be made through the online store, but discussions are also underway to enable local sales delivered from within the United Kingdom. Once that market is entered, we also plan to offer the Lexaria Energy10 protein bars for sale as well. The population of the United Kingdom is over 63 million. International sales to the UK are expected to begin within 30 days, with local UK sales to be announced when available.

Together, these initiatives will lead to more widespread access to ViPova and Lexaria Energy products which should support increased sales revenues.

In vitro laboratory testing completed in August determined that Lexaria’s technology and formulation can result in cannabidiol absorption rates as much as 499% higher than controls; an important advantage as consumers increasingly search for products that offer less waste and higher efficiency.
