First-to-market rapidly-dissolving tablet offers controlled onset and offset; reflects Emerald's focus on science-based innovation and expands products available under SYNC™ Wellness brand

VANCOUVER, BC, April 13, 2021 /CNW/ - Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. ("Emerald") (TSXV: EMH) (OTCQX: EMHTF) has launched its new product line, SYNC™ Tabs, an innovative, naturally-flavoured ingestible offering consumers a controlled 10 mg THC dose with predictable onset and offset. This product line expands its offering under its SYNC™ Wellness brand and is the second of Emerald's Defined Dose™ products. The first provincial purchase orders have been received and, beginning April 13th, the tablets will be available to consumers at licensed cannabis retailers and online in BC, Manitoba, and Newfoundland, with Alberta to follow.

Emerald's Cannabis 2.0 and 3.0 strategy focuses on leveraging science-based innovation to serve targeted consumer preferences. This differentiated new product line builds on Emerald's commitment to offering consumers defined dosing and predictable actions that let them control their cannabis consumption experience. SYNC™ Tabs are designed in a familiar tablet form that enables convenient yet discreet cannabis use.

With 10 mg of THC, SYNC™ Tabs offer consumers the measured stringency of Emerald's Defined Dose™ standard, dissolve under the tongue in about three minutes, and provide desired effects within 20 to 30 minutes. Offset is equally controlled, occurring within approximately 90 minutes of taking the tablet. This new product line follows the introduction of Emerald's Nano Fast-Acting Spray product. Sublingual tablets add to the SYNC™ brand's line-up of non-smoking forms of cannabis products, which also include CBD and THC cannabis oils.

Designed to serve customers' use of cannabis for daily wellness routines, SYNC™ Tabs are sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan and come in two natural flavours, cherry and mint. Produced with 100-percent coconut-derived MCT oil, the products offer a sustainably-produced cannabis wellness option. Each pack contains 10 x 10 mg doses, offering 100 mg of THC in total.

"Our product development efforts are centered on providing consumers with distinctive cannabis products offering controlled, predictable actions – with greater precision of dosing and the onset and offset of effects," said Riaz Bandali, President and CEO. "We have a talented product development team that is passionate about science and innovation. They are moving additional new product lines toward launches planned for the next few months and quarters, which we expect to start positively impacting our growth."
