IGC Announces “Drops of Clarity” Marketing Initiatives for Hyalolex™

BETHESDA, Md.--()--India Globalization Capital, Inc. (NYSE American:IGC) announces the launch of its branding campaign and marketing outreach for Hyalolex™, an oral cannabinoid-based supplement for the treatment of symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s.

In fiscal 2018, the Company’s focus was to develop and lay the foundation to commercialize cannabinoid based alternative therapies for indications such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and pain. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 'Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills'. The name Hyalolex™ is derived from the Greek prefix hyalo meaning glass-like, clear, transparent. Our marketing and branding campaign, therefore, is entitled ‘Drops of Clarity’.

This initiative will commence in several states where we will highlight the potential benefits of Hyalolex™ as a supplement to authorized cannabis physicians as well as to caregivers and patients via both a digital format and through grassroots outreach. We expect to utilize this methodology, in conjunction with licensing arrangements with manufacturers, to expand our reach into multiple U.S. markets and Canada. Education and product differentiation are key components for ‘Drops of Clarity’,” said Ram Mukunda, CEO.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a form of dementia. It is known as America’s most expensive disease, with an estimated cost to the U.S. economy of $236 billion.
