NAPANEE, Ontario, May 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lophos Holdings Inc. (“Lophos”, or the “Company”) (CSE:MESC) is pleased to announce the official commencement of its first research protocol under its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lophos Pharmaceuticals Corp. The protocol, centered on the cultivation of Lophophora williamsii (Peyote), marks a significant milestone in Lophos’ dedication to advancing sustainable indoor cultivation practices for this endangered species.

The research protocol, developed by Lophos Pharmaceuticals Corp., aims to identify the optimal soil conditions for fostering the growth of Lophophora williamsii seedlings. Over the next 12 months, the Company will provide updates on the progress of this pioneering initiative, which is poised to enhance the efficiency of indoor peyote cultivation at its Napanee facility.

Key Objectives of the Research Protocol

• Soil Composition Analysis: Thoroughly examine soil compositions to develop the best blend for strong seedling growth.
• Nutrient Balance: Study essential soil nutrients to create a balanced, nourishing environment for peyote seedlings.
• Environmental Factors: Stabilize the impact of light, temperature, and humidity to optimize seedling growth and development.

Building upon the achievements in peyote cultivation efficiency, wherein Lophos successfully reduced the maturation period from 13 – 30 years in nature to 3 – 4 years indoors, this research protocol represents a continued commitment to innovation and sustainability in the cultivation of Lophophora williamsii.
