The Business Intelligence Group has named BioHarvest Sciences (CSE: BHSC) (OTCQB: CNVCF) (FSE: 8MV) as a winner of its 2022 Sustainability Leadership Award. The Business Intelligence Group seeks out and rewards those with vision, creativity and persistence, all hallmarks found in the world's leading companies and individuals across the globe. The awards programs rely on industry leaders who volunteer to read, score and judge nominations.
"By delivering the benefits of plants using a fraction of the energy, water, and land that agriculture would, we see the potential for conserving valuable global resources at a game-changing scale," said BioHarvest CEO Ilan Sobel. "We are gratified to have our sustainability efforts recognized and we are honoured to be among a distinguished list of multiple industries' leaders."
Sustainability is inherent to BioHarvest's Plant CELLicitation platform technology. For example, when applied to indoor Cannabis cultivation, BioHarvest's process delivers the following unrivaled results (based on estimated internal benchmarking at scale versus New Frontiers Data Set for indoor Cannabis operations):
BioHarvest's sustainability achievements for its platform Bio Plant CELLicitation technology have been accomplished by a diverse Research and Development team comprised of five Israeli female scientists with Ph.D. degrees and led by Dr. Yochi Hagay, the co-founder and CTO of the Company.
"My team and I are so proud that we have developed a technology platform that has the ability to not only deliver critical plant metabolites that the human body needs, without growing the plant, but it does so in a way that protects the planet for many generations to come," stated Dr. Hagay.
"We are proud to reward and recognize BioHarvest Sciences for their sustainability efforts," said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer of the Business Intelligence Group. "It was clear to our judges that their vision and strategy will continue to deliver results toward a cleaner, more sustainable world. Congratulations!"
Earlier this year, the company announced its ability to produce full-spectrum cannabis in its industrial scale bioreactors, while using approximately 95% less land than agriculture would use to achieve comparable output. This breakthrough in the cannabis industry also combats the two biggest challenges in growth: product consistency and cleanliness.
As part of its long-term sustainability vision, BioHarvest also has its eyes on space. Recently bringing on astronaut Chris Hadfield as an advisor, the company also has a formal partnership with SpaceTango to explore the effects of micro gravity on plant cells and to explore the potential role of its technology supporting space travel and human settlements in space.

BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (CSE: BHSC) (OTCQB: CNVCF) (FSE: 8MV) ("BioHarvest" or "the Company") has announced the first multimedia campaign for VINIAâ„¢ in the USA, Phase 1. The company is scaling up its US marketing in line with a 2022 growth plan that aims for significant growth in sales orders following commercial entry in 2021.
"We are delighted to launch our first integrated marketing campaign aimed at expanding our loyal customer base here in the USA," said CEO Ilan Sobel, in New York for the launch. "Bringing our new 20 Ton production facility online was integral to scaling global VINIAâ„¢ supply, so this marketing launch is testament to the entire VINIAâ„¢ team's coordinated dedication to making it happen."
The initial phase will include TV and online advertising with a special focus on Christian programming, which includes TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world's largest religious-based television network). As part of the sponsorship agreement with TBN, Sobel will appear on the network's flagship shows hosted by Eric Metaxas and Mike Huckabee, with all content to be supported by advertising and educational online content.
New 60-second VINIAâ„¢ commercials were created specifically for the TBN campaign, to start Aug 15, 2022 (View example here)
The campaign underscores VINIA's concept of "Cellular Nutrition" and the benefits of increased blood flow, bringing in Sobel and members of his own family.
"I am inspired every day to hear from our customer community on ways that VINIAâ„¢ is improving their health," Sobel said. "We measure our success by our ability to make significant positive impact to people's lives, and as such our products' efficacy is proven not only in the clinical trials but also on a daily basis with VINIA's users."

Through its innovative line of diversified products, Cizzle Brands Corporation is well-positioned to capitalize on the global MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement sweeping the nation. This includes increased consumer demand for low-sugar, high-quality functional foods and beverages, nutritional supplements and sustainable packaging.
Cizzle Brands Corporation (CBOE:CZZL) is a dynamic sports nutrition company dedicated to driving transformative change within the health and wellness industry. Cizzle commenced trading on CBOE Canada on December 30, 2024, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.
Leveraging deep-rooted connections in the professional sports sector, the company collaborates with elite athletes to trial and refine its health and wellness products to ensure optimal performance, while still being appropriate for athletes of all ages. Its CWENCH Hydration line of products underscores its commitment to premium-quality offerings.
Cizzle maintains a global R&D innovation team involving top nutritionists, dieticians and strength coaches to develop cutting-edge products and bring them to market. This approach ensures that each product is designed to meet the highest standards of performance and wellness.
As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, there is a significant shift toward products that offer clean ingredients and functional benefits, such as hydration, recovery and natural energy. The functional beverage market size is estimated to reach US$229.75 billion in 2025, and is expected to climb to US$329.68 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.49 percent. This growth is driven by rising disposable incomes, heightened awareness of physical well-being, and the growing popularity of fitness lifestyles.
CWENCH Hydration is already recognized as one of the fastest-growing hydration products in the world. In its first 6 months of operation, it generated net sales of $5 million with gross margins of 60 percent and is on track to achieve $13 to $15 million in sales in its first fiscal year. Since its launch, CWENCH has been endorsed by elite athletes and adopted by professional sports teams across North America.
Cizzle is led by a seasoned executive team with extensive experience in consumer-packaged goods, brand building and public markets.
Cizzle differentiates itself by developing aspirational products consumed by aspirational people that drive awareness in key markets. Through its broad-based grassroots programs, over 12,000 youth athletes across North America are sponsored by Cizzle, featuring CWENCH logos on their helmets, jerseys and water bottles.
As Cizzle's products develop loyal followings in key markets, other consumer groups are pulled into engagement with its brands. With so many youth athletes making CWENCH Hydration their preferred sports drinks, pantry-loading parents who support sugar-free, all-natural alternatives for their kids become advocates - and ultimately consumers of CWENCH.
Cizzle's commitment to sustainability is another key differentiator. By adopting eco-friendly packaging solutions such as Tetra Pak, the company significantly reduces its environmental impact compared to traditional materials. It also limits the amount of plastics that touch Cizzle's products, minimizing the risk of exposure to microplastics. This move not only addresses growing consumer demand for healthy and sustainable products but also reinforces Cizzle's brand values.
Too often emerging CPG companies grow faster than their capitalization and infrastructure can support, leading many to flame out or incur dilutive financings. Cizzle is focused on maximizing shareholder value through sustainable revenue growth, strong gross margins, profitability and strategic acquisitions.
As brand awareness grows, and velocity through current retailers accelerates, the company plans to increase sales by expanding distribution channels through major Canadian retailers to boost market penetration and drive product visibility in high-traffic retail locations.
At the same time, Cizzle is building brand awareness and driving sales in select US and European markets where it can drive velocity while maintaining gross margins.
Product innovation is a key pillar of Cizzle’s growth strategy. The company has or is preparing to launch multiple new products across various consumer channels in 2025, including CWENCH Protein and Spoken Nutrition, among others. Each product launch will be supported by targeted marketing campaigns, in-store activations, and influencer partnerships to create brand awareness and drive consumer demand. Furthermore, Cizzle is actively pursuing opportunities to acquire young, innovative companies in the health and wellness sector that align with its mission, thus accelerating portfolio expansion.
Cizzle’s flagship product, CWENCH Hydration, is a sugar-free, all-natural sports drink formulated with 6+ essential electrolytes and only 10 calories per serving. It stands out with eco-friendly Tetra Pak packaging and no preservatives. Endorsed by high-profile athletes like Nathan MacKinnon, Andrew Wiggins, Gavin McKenna and Chloe Primerano, CWENCH has gained traction in major retail outlets across Canada and select US markets. Its rapid market adoption has solidified it as one of the fastest-growing products in its category.
CWENCH Protein, a post-workout recovery solution, comes in both whey and vegan options. Available in chocolate and vanilla flavors, it leverages the existing CWENCH distribution network to ensure broad reach.
Spoken Nutrition is a premium supplement line designed to enhance athletic performance and overall wellness by unlocking the expertise behind the world's best athletes. Developed in collaboration with elite trainers and scientists to make products that work, the range includes 14 SKUs targeting various health benefits. A standout product, Sleep Builder, has received significant acclaim for its positive impact on recovery and sleep quality. Spoken Nutrition primarily targets direct-to-consumer channels, elite training facilities and partnerships with celebrity trainers.
John Celenza co-founded BioSteel Sports, where he played a pivotal role in scaling the business within the consumer goods sector. His expertise in brand development and market expansion is instrumental in guiding Cizzle's strategic direction.
Tucker Wright brings a wealth of experience from leadership roles at DreamWater and BioSteel. His proficiency in revenue generation and market strategy supports Cizzle's growth initiatives and market penetration efforts.
Anthony Mila, formerly CEO of HighRise Marketing and CMO of BioSteel, has a strong background in marketing within the health and wellness industry. His strategic vision drives Cizzle's brand positioning and consumer engagement.
Blane Kaufman previously led operations at BioSteel, bringing extensive operational expertise to Cizzle. His focus on operational efficiency ensures the seamless execution of the company's strategic plans.
Steven Tschirhart, who spent over a decade at Kraft Heinz ultimately as Head of Coffee Canada, oversees the financial operations of Cizzle, ensuring fiscal responsibility and strategic financial planning to support the company's growth objectives.
Andy O’Brien is a legendary sports performance coach who has collaborated with world-class athletes and elite trainers. His expertise contributes to the development of Cizzle's performance-oriented products.

Introduction to Spoken Nutrition
Spoken's â„¢ line of products is composed of nutritional supplements formulated by the world's leading performance coaches, dieticians, nutritionists, and functional medicine doctors to meet the needs of their professional athletes.
The team that formulated Spoken's â„¢ products includes Dr. Matt Frakes (LSU Dietician), Carl Bergstrom (Director of Performance for NBA All-Star, Steph Curry), Brianne Brown (University of Miami Strength & Conditioning Coach), Alan Bishop (University of Houston Director of Men's Basketball Sports Performance), David Lawrence (Strength Coach to Six NFL Super Bowl Winners), Ben Prentiss (Experienced NHL Strength Coach), Dr. Jordan Shallow (Doctor of Chiropractic and Strength Coach to Elite Athletes), Dr. Sachin Patel (Functional Medicine Doctor), and Cizzle Brands' Chief Performance Officer, Andy O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien was nicknamed "The Muscle Whisperer" by Sportsnet in 2015, highlighting his work as a trainer to NHL superstar Sidney Crosby, Olympic medallist figure skater Patrick Chan, women's hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser, and Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. Mr. O'Brien has also held coaching and consultancy roles for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Florida Panthers in the National Hockey League.
All Spoken ™ products carry the NSF Certified for Sport ® designation, a rigorous certification program that confirms sports supplements and sports nutritional products do not contain substances banned by many major athletic organizations. Listings of Spoken's ™ products on the NSF website can be seen by clicking on this link .
Last month, Spoken â„¢ began a soft launch of its product line through introductions to professional team coaches, strength trainers, consultants, advisors, and dieticians. This included a one-hour presentation on Spoken Nutrition â„¢ delivered to the majority of MLB strength coaches during the Winter MLB Meetings. Several MLB teams have already placed orders for Spoken Nutrition products.
Additional information about Spoken Nutrition â„¢ can be found on its website at http://spokennutrition.com
Market and Opportunity Size
According to a study published in the National Institutes of Health database in 2023, the global market size for dietary supplements grew from USD $82 billion to USD $149.5 billion in 2021, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate of 8.9% that is expected to drive the market size to USD $308 billion in 2028.
Another study indicated that 2021 was a record year for usage of dietary supplements, with 80% of U.S. adults taking such supplements in that year.
Labelling accuracy of sports supplements remains a persisting issue, with a 2023 study by the University of Mississippi revealing that nearly 90% of sports supplements are inaccurately labelled.
By virtue of the NSF Certified for Sport® label on Spoken Nutrition ™ products, not only can consumers have trust in all Spoken ™ products, the certification along with the involvement of Dr. Frakes, Ms. Brown, and Mr. Bishop well-positions Spoken ™ to serve the nutritional needs of the over 520,000 NCAA collegiate athletes in the United States.

Cizzle Brands Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, John Celenza, commented, "The supplements and nutrition products that are actually used by the world's top athletes aren't typically known by name to the general public, as they tend to be niche products which are usually only sold through specialty distributors within the sports nutrition profession. With Spoken, we are making these supplements available to athletes at all levels as well as their coaches and trainers." Mr. Celenza continued, "Spoken Nutrition's team has over a century of combined experience in training and providing nutrition advice for athletes, which gives them the know-how to strategically introduce our products to the decision-makers who place the orders on behalf of teams. In that way, Spoken Nutrition is an ideal complement to our flagship brand CWENCH Hydrationâ„¢, and can help to fortify Cizzle Brands' leadership place in the sports nutrition industry."
"With over two decades of diverse experience working with the world's top athletes and doing the research to find innovative performance nutrition solutions, I have come to realize that nutrition underpins every aspect of athletic health and performance," said Dana Lis, Performance Nutrition Consultant to the Golden State Warriors.

Over the years, I've observed how the supplement market often fails to account for these nuances, offering generic solutions in an increasingly saturated and confusing market. This is exactly why the launch of Spoken Nutrition is so meaningful. It is not just yet another supplement line; it is a brand built on science and a deep understanding of the complexities of nutritional physiology and performance, as well as the practicality of the daily training environment. This commitment to evidence and experienced-based practice is what sets Spoken Nutrition apart - each product is crafted to maximize the impact of key ingredients with no compromises in quality or efficacy.

Introduction to Spoken Nutrition
Spoken's â„¢ line of products is composed of nutritional supplements formulated by the world's leading performance coaches, dieticians, nutritionists, and functional medicine doctors to meet the needs of their professional athletes.
The team that formulated Spoken's â„¢ products includes Dr. Matt Frakes (LSU Dietician), Carl Bergstrom (Director of Performance for NBA All-Star, Steph Curry), Brianne Brown (University of Miami Strength & Conditioning Coach), Alan Bishop (University of Houston Director of Men's Basketball Sports Performance), David Lawrence (Strength Coach to Six NFL Super Bowl Winners), Ben Prentiss (Experienced NHL Strength Coach), Dr. Jordan Shallow (Doctor of Chiropractic and Strength Coach to Elite Athletes), Dr. Sachin Patel (Functional Medicine Doctor), and Cizzle Brands' Chief Performance Officer, Andy O'Brien.
Mr. O'Brien was nicknamed "The Muscle Whisperer" by Sportsnet in 2015, highlighting his work as a trainer to NHL superstar Sidney Crosby, Olympic medallist figure skater Patrick Chan, women's hockey legend Hayley Wickenheiser, and Olympic swimmer Dara Torres. Mr. O'Brien has also held coaching and consultancy roles for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Florida Panthers in the National Hockey League.
All Spoken ™ products carry the NSF Certified for Sport ® designation, a rigorous certification program that confirms sports supplements and sports nutritional products do not contain substances banned by many major athletic organizations. Listings of Spoken's ™ products on the NSF website can be seen by clicking on this link .
Last month, Spoken â„¢ began a soft launch of its product line through introductions to professional team coaches, strength trainers, consultants, advisors, and dieticians. This included a one-hour presentation on Spoken Nutrition â„¢ delivered to the majority of MLB strength coaches during the Winter MLB Meetings. Several MLB teams have already placed orders for Spoken Nutrition products.
Additional information about Spoken Nutrition â„¢ can be found on its website at http://spokennutrition.com
Market and Opportunity Size
According to a study published in the National Institutes of Health database in 2023, the global market size for dietary supplements grew from USD $82 billion to USD $149.5 billion in 2021, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate of 8.9% that is expected to drive the market size to USD $308 billion in 2028.
Another study indicated that 2021 was a record year for usage of dietary supplements, with 80% of U.S. adults taking such supplements in that year.
Labelling accuracy of sports supplements remains a persisting issue, with a 2023 study by the University of Mississippi revealing that nearly 90% of sports supplements are inaccurately labelled.
By virtue of the NSF Certified for Sport® label on Spoken Nutrition ™ products, not only can consumers have trust in all Spoken ™ products, the certification along with the involvement of Dr. Frakes, Ms. Brown, and Mr. Bishop well-positions Spoken ™ to serve the nutritional needs of the over 520,000 NCAA collegiate athletes in the United States.

Cizzle Brands Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, John Celenza, commented, "The supplements and nutrition products that are actually used by the world's top athletes aren't typically known by name to the general public, as they tend to be niche products which are usually only sold through specialty distributors within the sports nutrition profession. With Spoken, we are making these supplements available to athletes at all levels as well as their coaches and trainers." Mr. Celenza continued, "Spoken Nutrition's team has over a century of combined experience in training and providing nutrition advice for athletes, which gives them the know-how to strategically introduce our products to the decision-makers who place the orders on behalf of teams. In that way, Spoken Nutrition is an ideal complement to our flagship brand CWENCH Hydrationâ„¢, and can help to fortify Cizzle Brands' leadership place in the sports nutrition industry."
