CBGA Found in Patented Strain Effective in Blocking Covid

MESQUITE, NV / ACCESSWIRE / January 17, 2022 / Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (OTCQB:CBDS) announces that the cannabis compound CBGA found in its patented strain patented strain Equadorian Sativa, or CTA (US PP 27,475 - http://bit.ly/2te8hFk) has been found effective in blocking covid from entering human cells in a laboratory study published in the Journal of Natural Products (Cannabinoids Block Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV‑2 and the Emerging Variants - https://bit.ly/33FfgwE), but must be taken orally to potentially prevent and treat infection by SARS-CoV-2 according to the study.

Cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA was identified during a chemical screening effort as having the potential to fight coronavirus by binding to spike proteins found on the virus, blocking its ability to infect people. Laboratory testing by Steephill Labs of Cannabis Sativa's reported levels of CBGA at 2.49 mg/g.

Jennina Chiavetta, the founder and owner of Legacy Nursery in Modesto, California, a cannabis nursery specializing in clones and genetics, and head of the breeding project of the Ecuadorian Sativa strain said, "CTA's high level of CBGA combined with a limonene terpene level that is 10 to 20 times the usual range may prove beneficial in fighting coronavirus and limit the severity and progression of disease owing to its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties.

CEO David Tobias said, "We believe this finding adds great value to the benefits mentioned in the patent, and we're researching the most efficacious delivery protocols to get a product to market. Ecuadorian Sativa was developed for the medical needs of the inventor, and it's gratifying to see a study affirming its potential in that area and not relegating it as merely another "chronic" strain fighting for shelf space in a market constantly demanding the newest strain."
