VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FRA: 8BN), a leading Health Canada licensed GMP psychedelics pharmaceutical manufacturer, specializing in controlled substances such as botanical psilocybin and MDMA, is pleased to report a significant update to its collaboration with The Institute for Psychedelic Research at Tel Aviv University (IPR-TLV).

Optimi has obtained the Export Permit required from Health Canada for the shipment of its in-house manufactured MDMA active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to IPR-TLV. With the Export Permit confirmed, Optimi will be one of the first psychedelics pharmaceutical manufacturers to ship MDMA to the country.

“Partnering with IPR-TLV and shipping MDMA to Israel marks a significant advancement for Optimi,” said Bill Ciprick, CEO of Optimi Health. “As a supplier with the ability to produce GMP psychedelic pharmaceuticals on demand, we are proud to be furthering our mission of supporting psychedelic research and innovation on a global scale.”

In March, Optimi and IPR-TLV unveiled their collaboration, revealing that the MDMA API would support the institute’s study on the impact of MDMA on alcohol addiction.

Optimi Health Chief Financial Officer, Jacob Safarik, commented, “Obtaining an Export Permit to ship controlled substances globally involves a meticulous process that demands collaboration from various stakeholders. We extend our gratitude to IPR-TLV and Health Canada for their partnership and cooperation in navigating this intricate procedure alongside our team at Optimi.”
