VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 10, 2023 — Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FRA: 8BN) (“Optimi” or the “Company”), an end-to-end drug researcher and formulator licensed by Health Canada to produce and supply, for clinical research purposes, psychedelic substances such as 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”), natural GMP-grade psilocybin, along with natural health product formulations, is pleased to announce the receipt of its Natural Health Product Site Licence following an assessment by the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate.
Under section 29 of the Natural Health Products Regulations, the expanded licensing allows for the manufacturing, packaging, and labelling of Natural Health Products (“NHPs”) at the Company’s Princeton, British Columbia facility.
Further, the licence also gives Optimi the ability to encapsulate products on site.
“This expands our ability to produce our products on site for global market distribution,” said Optimi CEO, Bill Ciprick. “This licence enables the Company to further diversify and leverage the potential of its existing manufacturing, processing and packaging capabilities to streamline fulfilment and reduce costs across its supply chain to support continued growth.”
Today’s announcement affirms Optimi’s commitment to supplying large scale research and development programs through its 10,000 square foot GMP compliant manufacturing facility.
