Newport Beach, California, Aug. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agtech Global International Inc. (OTC Pink: AGGL) is pleased to announce it has executed a Heads of Agreement to acquire the dietary supplement company NooMeds LLC from Dr. Malcolm A. Leissring, a Harvard Medical School-trained research scientist and president of the Auguste Deter Foundation (www.ad.foundation), a charitable foundation he established to support research into cures for, and prevention of Alzheimers disease.

NooMeds LLC is the owner and manufacturer of A.L.Z. Defense, a scientifically tested dietary supplement formulated for memory health. The core formula within A.L.Z. Defense was originally developed by Dr. Curt Hendrix with funding from the National Institutes of health and scientifically tested in two animal models with Alzheimers disease, by renowned neuroscientists. As reported in two peer-reviewed scientific publications (Ref: 1 &2), Dr. Hendrixs formula worked incredibly well in both animal models.

AGGLs wholly owned subsidiary, Galexxy Corp., expects to finalize the acquisition of NooMeds LLC by August 31 of this year and plans to augment the A.L.Z. Defense formula by the addition of high-quality cannabidiol (CBD) and feature ALZ Defense in Galexxys Brain Health and Fitness product segment. Alzheimers disease is a devastating, progressive, and presently incurable brain disease that affects more than 6 million people in the United States alone.

Dr. Leissring, who was recently awarded a $3-million grant from the National Institutes of Health to continue his research on Alzheimers disease at the University of California, Irvine said As a long-time researcher in the Alzheimers field, which has made frustratingly slow progress, it is gratifying to see A.L.Z. Defense enhanced by the addition of CBD and distributed nationally through Galexxys unique, patent pending Virtual Retail Marketing System.
