Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 29, 2024) - Nirvana Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: NIRV) (Nirvana or the "Company"), a western Canadian-based life sciences company, is pleased to report that it has received its first shipment of "SOSA", a leading addictions focused herbal treatment.

SOSA is a patented, WHO-approved, herbal treatment for opiate addiction that has been administered to more than 30 million patients in Asia. SOSA is registered with the health authorities in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia and has been used to safely and effectively treat opiate addictions in these countries for over twenty years. A report from the WHO concluded that SOSA can be used "safely and effectively for heroin and other opiates addiction treatment, detoxification and acute heroin withdrawal symptoms. In addition, the side effects are minimal and tolerable."

SOSA has been proven to be effective at breaking the cycle of addiction to opioids and other opiate-based addictive drugs.

The US Council of Economic Advisors estimates the cost of the Opioids Crisis to the US economy at more than $500 billion annually, this equates to almost 4% of GDP. In 2021, more than 75,000 Americans died of drug overdose, with around two-thirds of those deaths linked to opioids. The impact can be measured financially, with massive health care and insurance costs as well as the significant costs of law enforcement. It has been estimated that it will require a large investment, as much as $100 billion, to fully address the crisis.

This first shipment will be used for analysis and pre-clinical trials. The Company expects to commence selected trials and finalize distribution contracts in the coming weeks.

Nirvana CEO Bruce Clark stated: "We believe that the SOSA product can be a game changer in the effort to help those afflicted with opiates addiction-related disorders. The Nirvana project was formed with the belief that innovation can make a difference to people affected by this crisis."
