Vancouver, Canada, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (Nasdaq: CMND), (FSE: CWY0) (“Clearmind” or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on discovery and development of novel psychedelic-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that it has signed a non-binding term sheet with Dr. Glitter Pty Ltd, a health technology company that has developed ActivCrystal™ technology, a world-first oral delivery format that encapsulates active ingredients in crystals that are tasteless, odorless, made from natural ingredients, and designed to be sprinkled on meals. The two companies plan to collaborate on the development and commercialization of Clearmind’s proprietary MEAI-based alcohol substitute and Dr Glitter Pty Ltd’s proprietary ActivCrystal™ technology. The term sheet outlines preliminary terms that, upon the mutual agreement of the parties, will be memorialized in a definitive agreement that sets forth a framework for advancing Clearmind and Dr Glitter Pty Ltd’s groundbreaking innovations.
Under the terms of the term sheet, upon the execution of the definitive agreement, the parties will work together to develop MEAI-based alcohol alternative aimed to naturally replicate the known sensations from drinking alcohol without the associated health risks or hangover. In ActivCrystal™ format, Clearmind’s MEAI-based alcohol alternative may be sprinkled into users’ choice of beverage or food, and dosage may be varied by users individually. This collaboration has the potential to mark an important milestone in Clearmind’s strategy to bring MEAI to global markets, addressing the urgent need for innovative solutions to combat alcohol misuse - a major contributor to countless annual deaths worldwide.
“We are thrilled to work with ActivCrystal™ technology to advance the development of MEAI as a safe alternative to alcohol,” said Dr. Adi Zuloff-Shani, CEO of Clearmind Medicine. “In parallel to advancing our clinical program with MEAI, we are actively developing our alcohol alternative product, designed to provide some of the enjoyable sensations and experiences associated with alcohol, without the alcohol itself. By offering a solution that adults can enjoy without the harmful effects of alcohol, we aim to transform the landscape of social drinking. We believe that partnering with innovative companies in this field is the right approach to drive this change forward.”
“Our mission is to empower happy, healthy living.” said Jade Diep, CEO of Dr Glitter Pty Ltd, “Our team is passionate about making alcohol-alternatives more accessible and easy to consume. The ActivCrystal™ format allows MEAI to be consumed in a variety of beverages that can be chosen by the user, and based on their individual preferences or what is being served in their social setting. We are excited to partner with Clearmind and use our company’s technology to support those who suffer from alcohol use disorder and create a new product in the non-alcoholic industry.”
