Juva Life Launches Revised JuLi Registry, Showcases Cannabis and CBD Brands to Track Effects on Cannabis Patients

Life Science Research and Vertically Integrated California Cultivator Creates Global Research Registry to Better Understand Clinical Effects of Cannabis

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a life science company with both pharmaceutical research and development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, today announced their newly revised WCG IRB-approved cannabis patient registry, renamed to the JuLi Registry (“The Registry”).

The JuLi Registry is a WCG IRB -approved multi-year study conducted through Juva Life’s cannabis research division. The Registry, listed on clinicaltrials.gov, is aimed at amassing one of the world’s largest data sets of real-world clinical evidence on the potential health benefits of cannabis. It enjoys participation from best-in-class cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) brands, and includes products from CannaCraft, dosist, LEVEL, San Benito Hemp Company, Sunderstorm, and WYLD.

Once completed, Juva will have one of the largest data sets of its kind and will be able to leverage the findings in both its nutraceutical wellness, drug development and clinical programs. This real-world observational data, overseen by physicians and other clinicians, will be presented to various regulatory bodies to show the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis and hemp-derived compounds.

“The Juli Registry will amass one of the largest repositories of real-world data of its kind, tracking the medicinal effects of cannabis use, which few companies globally are seeking to create,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “Thanks to the participation of our world-class brands, cannabis patients nationwide can track the effectiveness of a broad selection of curated products which may help individual participants and researchers better understand clinical benefits from specific products and dosing schedules. The data we collect is kept confidential, and this study is crucial in understanding the medicinal benefits of cannabis-based products through real-world data gathering.”

“The cannabis plant has such remarkable therapeutic promise. Yet research has been stymied for decades by federal restrictions,” says Tiffany Devitt, Chief of Regulatory Affairs for CannaCraft. “We're thrilled that Juva is taking the initiative to creatively work around restrictions and essentially crowd-sourcing data from the millions of people using this long-standing herbal remedy.”

"Since inception, dosist has been a pioneer in the study of cannabinoids and their positive clinical effect for consumers," stated Jason DeLand, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of dosist.  "Precise dosage, exact formulations and maximum bioavailability are paramount to creating a consistent, repeatable experience that engenders consumer trust, and we applaud Juva's efforts to further confirm and elevate the targeted usage and wellness benefits of this amazing plant."

“Cannabinoids have a myriad of therapeutic properties, and we’re just starting to define their positive impact on human health,” said LEVEL Founder and CEO Chris Emerson, PhD. “At LEVEL, we’re dedicated to conducting research, pushing the scientific boundaries, and driving consumer education about cannabinoids, which facilitates our unique approach to developing innovative cannabis products. Leveraging real-world clinical evidence on the potential health benefits of cannabis will shape the future of the industry, and LEVEL is excited to participate in this important work.”

“We find it our duty to help showcase what this amazing plant is really capable of,” says Matthew Mielczarek, CEO and Co-Founder of San Benito Hemp Company. “The cannabis plant has so many uses, we have only begun to scratch the surface of its medicinal qualities. We are extremely excited to be working with Juva on this groundbreaking study that will not only enlighten all of our understandings of the cannabis plant but help guide us for future growth.”

"At Sunderstorm, wellness has been the foundation of everything we do, leading to the development of our Tranquility gummy which was scientifically designed to assist in sleep-related issues,” said Cameron Clark, CEO and Co-Founder of Sunderstorm. “We are proud to support Juva’s efforts to further validate the health benefits and efficacy of our Tranquility product and cannabis products within the industry at large."

The goal of the Registry is to collect data on cannabis formulations, chemical composition, dosing and utilization, and the effectiveness of cannabis products in addressing designated medical concerns. The study is open to patients over 21 years of age who have the following conditions or symptoms: chronic pain, anxiety, neuropathy, appetite issues, nausea, sleep issues, and menopausal symptoms. Info on products selected, dosing schedules, impact on symptoms and side effects will be collected. Additionally, the Registry will examine patients’ use of cannabis in conjunction with other prescription medication, including any discontinuation or reduction of the use of opioids after initiation of cannabis-based medications.

Juva Life Highlights Q1 2022 Financials Showing 97% Increase in Revenue

Juva Life Highlights Q1 2022 Financials Showing 97% Increase in Revenue 

Company Reports Its Q1 2022 Results and Provides Comments on Operations

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva,” or the “Company”), a life science company with pharmaceutical research and development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, today highlights its financial and operating results for Q1 of 2022.

$1.16 million of revenue was generated in  Q1 2022, almost double the $.58 million of revenue in the same period for the prior year. This growth was driven by increased sales in both its retail business operations as well as sales of wholesale bulk cannabis flower. Net loss for the quarter decreased from $5.5 million in Q1 2021 to $3 million in Q1 2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, Juva advanced JUVA-019, a proprietary novel compound that has previously demonstrated potent anti-inflammatory properties in phenotypic assays of inflammation, from discovery into preclinical development. It also advanced JUVA-041, a second proprietary novel compound into preclinical development, further substantiating the Company’s discovery strategy and technology platform. Juva Life has filed patents on both compounds and plans to advance them through the standardized clinical stage gate in the coming months. Also on the clinical side of the Company, Juva launched the Journal App that offers cannabis users a daily tracking solution to monitor how their cannabis consumption affects their personal health and wellness, furthering Juva’s mission of proving the therapeutic value of cannabis.

Additionally, the Company completed the final phase of construction of its 30,000-square-foot Stockton cultivation facility, which more than doubled the growing capacity of the facility without adding additional costs, and maximizing the facility’s cultivation systems. 

“As we move to the second half of the year, we are feeling extremely confident about our progress in both our life sciences research and cannabis operations,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “Our research team is moving at an unparalleled pace in proving the potential therapeutic value of both of our lead candidates, JUVA-019 and JUVA-041. We have already seen extremely promising preclinical results in their ability to inhibit inflammation, and we are moving them forward in their clinical pipeline as quickly as possible. On the cannabis operations side, our cultivation facility in Stockton is fully complete and firing on every cylinder. The delivery business is continuing to grow, and we are so excited to have received one of the first and only retail licenses in Redwood City. All in all, Q1 was a great first quarter for Juva, and we are looking forward to sharing our Q2 results in short order.”

Cannabis and Life Sciences Company Closes $11.8 Million in Non-Dilutive Debt Financing

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF)

(FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a life science company with pharmaceutical research and development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, announced today that it has closed a non-dilutive financing of $11.8 million, enabling the Company to acquire its Stockton, California, facility as well as further its clinical research on its two novel compounds.

The non-dilutive financing, which was closed on June 15, 2022, was facilitated by Pelorus Equity Group, who specialize in real estate debt financing solutions. The primary purpose of the financing was to provide capital to the Company to complete the acquisition of its Stockton cultivation facility, recently appraised at a value of over $17 million, for a purchase price of $4 million. Additionally, the Company plans to use the funds to further its clinical research development programs on novel compounds Juva-019 and Juva-041, targeting the treatment of inflammation.

“I am extremely pleased to close this round of debt financing, especially given the recent distressed capital markets and economic conditions. I believe it is a testament to the excitement around both Juva’s cannabis operations as well as our clinical research initiatives,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “As our cannabis operations continue to grow and generate revenue, it was imperative that we secure our real estate holdings while furthering our pharmaceutical initiatives. This financing allows us to accomplish both of these goals, while retaining significant equity in our Stockton real estate holding. Additionally, the financing will also provide us with the capital needed to finish construction on our downtown Redwood City retail store which, upon completion, will create a new revenue stream for Juva. I am confident that this transaction will provide us with a strong runway and allow us to expand our revenue generating cannabis assets while also moving forward with our clinical research, a focus area that we believe holds the most potential upside for the Company.”

The financing is secured by the assets of Juva and its subsidiaries, Including the real estate held in Stockton. It also includes the issuance of 2,500,000 warrants, each convertible into one common share of the Company, exercisable at $.18 CAD per share for a period of 3 years post loan maturity. Additional terms include six months worth of interest being held in reserve, $0.86 million being held in reserve for build out of the Company's Redwood City cannabis retail storefront, and $0.6 million being held for research and development projects related to the Company’s clinical research. Origination fees are to be paid to both the lender and “Seed to Sale Funding,” who

brokered the deal. The loan bears a variable interest rate of 11.5% plus SOFR (minimum of 1.5%) over the 36-month term of the financing.

Juva Life Granted First-of-Its-Kind License for Retail Cannabis Storefront in Redwood City, California

In Highly Competitive Process, Vertically Integrated California Cultivator and Life Science Research Company Approved to Launch Brick-and-Mortar Location

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 6, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a life science company with phar

maceutical research and development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, announced today the Company’s subsidiary, Juva Retail RWC Inc, was granted a license to operate a retail cannabis storefront in Redwood City, California, at 2301 Broadway. Juva was granted one of only four approvals allowing storefront retail cannabis businesses in commercial and mixed-use zones, following a rigorous and highly competitive application process.

“We thank the City of Redwood City for the care and attention they put to our retail storefront application, and we are honored that we have been awarded with the license,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “The Juva retail storefront is a business milestone that we have strategically worked on for nearly two years. We look forward to providing our customers the same five-star service and best-in-class products we are known for offering through Juva Delivery at our new storefront location.”

Redwood City has a four-phase cannabis program that was developed hand in hand with community support following the state’s legalization of adult-use cannabis sales in 2016. Phase I ensured the applications were complete, Phase II involved critical evaluation and scoring, Phase III involved interviews and further scoring, and Phase IV was the final City Manager Selection of chosen businesses.

The process included a rigorous, staff-led, merit-based application to ensure high-quality retail cannabis business operators would be thoroughly reviewed and sufficiently qualified before receiving a permit. All applications for cannabis storefront retail were required to provide relevant information, including neighborhood compatibility, security and safety plans, and community benefits plans.

Juva Retail RWC Inc. was the highest-scoring applicant overall, being awarded a total of 1,876 points in Phase III, which, when combined with the Company’s Phase II score of 1,196 points, equals 3,072 points for a total score of 96%.

Additionally, Juva Life continues its focus on pharmaceutical and life sciences research, and is working to identify the mode of action behind cannabis’ anecdotal ability to control pain and inflammation. The Company recently identified non-cannabinoid compounds JUVA-019 and JUVA-041, on which the Company has filed patent applications and has conducted preclinical research showing that the compounds are effective as stand-alone compounds in inhibiting inflammation by modulating certain biomarkers in the body. JUVA-019 and JUVA-041, which the Company has nominated as lead drug candidates for further preclinical investigation, are currently advancing through phenotypic models of chronic diseases of aging.

Juva Life Announces Filing of Patent on JUVA-041 – Small Molecule Isolated from the Cannabis Plant

Juva Life Announces Filing of Patent on JUVA-041 – Small Molecule Isolated from the Cannabis Plant

Potent Anti-Inflammatory Non-Cannabinoid Molecule

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 2, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a life science company with pharmaceutical research and development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, announced today the filing of patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on JUVA-041, a small molecule isolated from the cannabis plant that has been identified by Juva’s in-house research team.

The news follows the Company’s identification of non-cannabinoid compound JUVA-019, on which the Company has filed a patent application and has conducted preclinical research showing that the compound is effective as a stand-alone compound in inhibiting inflammation by modulating certain biomarkers in the body. Through its research division, Juva scientists have continuously been evaluating an internally curated database of compounds found in the cannabis plant for their therapeutic benefit, leading to the identification of the two proprietary compounds: JUVA-019 and JUVA-041, which the Company has nominated as drug candidates for further pre-clinical investigation. Current efforts are focused on advancing both compounds through phenotypic models of chronic diseases of aging.

“Filing the patent application on JUVA-041 is a major milestone for Juva as we now have two drug candidates that we believe hold significant promise in addressing unmet needs for safe and effective small molecule anti-inflammatory drugs, and the Company’s IP will be protected,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “These molecules are not cannabinoids and as such they do not possess regulatory encumbrances associated with THC class.”

The filing of a patent application on JUVA-041, along with the Company’s patent application on JUVA-019, signify the next step along the path of pharmaceutical development for these compounds, two non-cannabinoid molecules that have been clinically observed to hold significant potential to inhibit inflammation.

The Company’s business strategy is to leverage its unique knowledge of the chemistry and anti-inflammatory mode of action of non-cannabinoid compositions contained within cannabis to develop safe and effective therapeutics. The Company intends to develop products through preclinical in vivo validation studies, and partner with leading pharmaceutical and consumer companies seeking anti-inflammatory bioactives for their product pipelines. Previously on October 6, 2021, the Company filed a provisional patent with the USPTO on the method of use of the natural compositions, and composition of matter claims on non-naturally occurring semi-synthetic and synthetic analogs.

Juva Life Validates Discovery Strategy and Technology Platform, Leading to Discovery of Second Novel Drug Candidate, JUVA-041 Nominated for Pre-Clinical Development

Juva Life Validates Discovery Strategy and Technology Platform, Leading to Discovery of Second Novel Drug Candidate, JUVA-041 Nominated for Pre-Clinical Development

Methodical, Efficient Approach to Drug Discovery Advances Non-Cannabinoid Molecule as Unique Development Candidate

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTCQB: JUVAF) (FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva Life,” “Juva” or the “Company”), a life science company with pharmaceutical research, development and consumer-facing operations in cannabis production and distribution, announced today the advancement of JUVA-041 into pre-clinical development further substantiating the Company’s discovery strategy and technology platform.

JUVA-041 is a small molecule isolated from cannabis uniquely identified by Juva Life. As with JUVA-019, JUVA-041 inhibits key cytokines proven to be of clinical relevance in inflammation but does so with differential selectivity and increased potency. Through the identification of JUVA-041 the company now has demonstrated the efficiency of its discovery approach, in uncovering a second small molecule from cannabis with bona fide anti-inflammatory properties. The Company believes that the observed clinical effects of cannabis are coupled to unappreciated small molecules with selective anti-inflammatory properties.

“While the clinical utility of cannabis has been ascribed to a small number of cannabinoid compounds, our platform has revealed that non-cannabinoid compounds possess potent anti-inflammatory properties seen in approved biologics,” said Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva. “With the advancement of JUVA-041 as a lead candidate we have taken an additional step forward in demonstrating the robustness of our discovery strategy and technology platform.”

“JUVA-041 was identified through a chemocentric approach to bioactive identification,” said Sanjeev Gangwar, Ph.D., Vice President of Chemistry at Juva. “Our next steps will be to continue our discovery efforts to identify new leads and advance JUVA-019 and JUVA-041 through industry standard pre-clinical inflammatory models and non-clinical tests enabling IND filing.”
