BUSINESS AND BASIS OF OPERATIONS [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF OPERATIONS | 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF OPERATIONS Stevia First Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007 and commenced operations as a mineral exploration company. On October 10, 2011, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stevia First Corp., whereby we changed our name from “Legend Mining Inc .” to “Stevia First Corp.” Also on October 10, 2011, we effected a seven for one forward stock split of authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital was increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.001 to 525,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.001 , and issued and outstanding shares increased from 7,350,000 to 51,450,000 . In February 2012, we substantially changed our management team, and began pursuing an agricultural biotechnology business plan . In May 2016, we received shareholder and board approval for a name change to Vitality Biopharma, Inc., an exchange of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock for each 10 shares of common stock outstanding or exercisable under any outstanding warrants or option agreements and an increase in the number of shares of authorized common stock from 525,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 . These corporate changes will become effective upon the approval of the SEC and FIRNRA and are not reflected in these financial statements. The Company's fiscal year end is March 31. Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a stockholders’ deficiency of $ 518,165 as at March 31, 201 6 , and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and/or raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. W e estimate as of March 31, 201 6 we will have sufficient funds to operate the business for the next 6 months. We will require additional financing to fund our planned future operations, including the continuation of our ongoing research and development efforts, seeking to license or acquire new assets, and researching and developing any potential patents and any further intellectual property that we may acquire. Further, these estimates could differ if we encounter unanticipated difficulties, in which case our current funds may not be sufficient to operate our business for that period. In addition, our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to operate our business may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, we completed a private placement of our common stock and warrants resulting in net proceeds of $ 265,000 , of which proceeds amounting to $ 99,970 were received in March 2016. We do not have any other firm commitments for future capital. Significant additional financing will be required to fund our planned principal operations in the near term and in future periods, including research and development activities relating to stevia extract production, developing and seeking regulatory approval for any of our stevia product candidates, commercializing any product candidate for which we are able to obtain regulatory approval or certification, seeking to license or acquire new assets or businesses, and maintaining our intellectual property rights and pursuing rights to new technologies. We do not presently have, nor do we expect in the near future to have, significant revenue to fund our business from our operations, and will need to obtain most of our necessary funding from external sources in the near term. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings, and we expect to continue to rely on these sources of capital in the future. However, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted, and obtaining commercial loans would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we pursue capital through alternative sources, such as collaborations or other similar arrangements, we may be forced to relinquish rights to our proprietary technology or other intellectual property and could result in our receipt of only a portion of any revenue that may be generated from a partnered product or business. Further, these or other sources of capital may not be available on commercially reasonable or acceptable terms when needed, or at all. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail and our stockholders could lose all of their investment. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, reserves for accounts receivable, the fair value of equity instruments issued for services, and input assumptions used in the valuation of derivative liabilities. Revenues Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for products and/or services that have been delivered in the normal course of business, title has passed, the selling price is both fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, all of which generally occurs upon shipment of the Company’s product or delivery of the product to the destination specified by the customer. The Company determines whether delivery has occurred based on when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs when the Company ships the products. The Company regularly reviews its customers’ financial positions to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Except for warranties, the Company has no post-sales obligations. Accounts Receivable The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. The allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts is established through a provision reducing the carrying value of receivables. At March 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts was approximately $ 17,500 and $ 2,500 , respectively. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Authoritative guidance provided by FASB defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. The fair value of the derivative liabilities of $ 401,127 and $ 1,406,596 at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were valued using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the March 31, 2016, reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date. Stock-Based Compensation The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's statements of operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company periodically issues unvested (“restricted”) shares of its common stock to employees as equity incentives. The Company’s restricted stock vests upon the satisfaction of a recipient’s service condition, which is satisfied over a period of number of years. The restricted shares vest over certain period and remain subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met. The Company values the shares based on the price per share of the Company’s shares at the date of grant and recognizes the value as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: March 31, 2016 2015 Options 9,091,667 6,325,000 Warrants 20,027,132 12,127,129 Total 29,118,799 18,452,129 Research and Development Research and development costs consist primarily of fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, patent fees and costs, and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and testing of the Company's treatments and product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred over the life of the underlying contracts on the straight-line basis, unless the achievement of milestones, the completion of contracted work, or other information indicates that a different expensing schedule is more appropriate. The Company reviews the status of its research and development contracts on a quarterly basis. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-6 do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. ASU 2014-6 applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases . ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. |

ACQUISITION FROM RELATED PARTY [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITION FROM RELATED PARTY | 3. ACQUISITION FROM RELATED PARTY On May 16, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Percipio Biosciences, Inc. (“Percipio”), a Delaware corporation, to purchase certain assets of Percipio for $ 50,000 . The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert Brooke, owned 20 % of Percipio. The acquisition of the assets has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations and the assets have been included in the Company’s financial statements since May 16, 2014. The purchase price was allocated to current assets based on their fair value as determined by management. At March 31, 2016, $ 11,950 of the purchase price remains unpaid and is included in accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. The Company has determined that the acquisition is not a material acquisition and accordingly, no pro-forma information has been presented. In conjunction with the Percipio asset purchase, the Company entered into written employment agreement with Dr. Fang Lu, majority owner and President of Percipio, under which he now serves as Senior Scientist for the Company. Dr. Lu’s employment agreement commenced on May 17, 2014 and is terminable at any time at the option of Dr. Lu or the Company. Under the employment agreement, Dr. Lu is entitled to an annual salary of $ 95,000 . |

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE LIABILITY | 4. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY T he FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. Certain warrants issued to investors and placement agents (described in Note 5 and Note 6) do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices will be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the warrants have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. At the applicable dates of issuance and as of March 31, 201 5 and March 31, 201 6 , the derivative liabilities were valued using a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following assumptions: Date of Modification September 24, 2014 March 31, 2015 Upon Issuance May 11, 2015 March 31, 2016 Exercise Price $ 0.40 - 0.45 $ 0.34 - 0.45 $ 0.35 - 0.45 $ 0.30 – 0.45 Stock Price $ 0.42 $ 0.38 $ 0.29 $ 0.07 Risk-free interest rate 1.78 - 2.0 % 0.41 - 1.25 % 0.17 - 1.59 % 0.19 – 1.04 % Expected volatility 84.45 % 76.26 % 76.26 - 107.5 % 105.06 - 124.77 % Expected life (in years) 0.01 – 5.0 years 2.50 - 4.5 years 0.75 – 5.0 years 0.1 – 4.2 years Expected dividend yield 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Fair Value: $ 961,767 $ 1,406,596 $ 1,694,651 $ 401,127 The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the warrants was determined by the expiration date of the warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not paid dividends to its common stockholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends to its common stockholders in the future. On September 10, 2014, certain terms of certain of the Company’s warrants were modified in connection with an early exercise offer made to the warrant holders, and the incremental change in their fair values of $ 21,218 was accounted for as an increase in the fair value of the derivative liabilities as of the date of modification and recorded as a cost to induce exercise of the warrants. Also, as part of the terms of the early exercise offer, the Company issued to such warrant holders new, replacement warrants with an aggregate fair value at their issue date of $ 940,549 , which was accounted for as a derivative liability at the issue date (described in Note 7). All of the warrants subject to the early exercise offer, which were accounted for as derivative liabilities, were exercised in connection with such offer, and as such their corresponding fair value at the exercise date of $ 269,368 was extinguished from the derivative liabilities balance. During the year ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a change in fair value of the derivative liability of $ 724,617 . As of March 31, 2015, the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities was $ 1,406,596 . In May 2015, we recognized additional derivative liabilities of $ 1,694,651 related to the warrants issued in conjunction with the sale of the Company’s c ommon stock (described in Note 5 ). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 , the Company reco gnized a change in fair value of the derivative liability of $ 2,600,809 . As of March 31, 2016 , the aggregate fair value of the derivative liabilities was $ 401,127 . |

STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY [Abstract] | |
STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIENCY | 5. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIENCY Equity financing In May 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with seven p urchasers for the sale of an of aggregate of 5,000,002 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Shares” ) , and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,500,005 shares of the Company’s common stock for total gross proceeds of $ 1,500,000 , or a sales price of $ 0.30 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on May 11, 2015. The Company incurred $ 208,426 direct costs, fees and expenses in connection with the Offering, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of $ 1,291,574 . The warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,500,005 issued to the purchasers in the Offering were issued in three tranches: Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,002 shares of the Company’ s common stock, with exercise price of $ 0.45 per share, and a term of 5 years; Series B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,002 shares of the Company’s common stock, with exercise price of $ 0.35 per share, and a term of 9 m onths; and Series C Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,500,001 shares of the Company’s common stock , with exe rcise price of $ 0.40 per share, and a term of 1 year; all of which are exercisable immediately (the Series A Warrants, the S eries B Warrants and the Series C Warrants, collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company also issued warrants to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to H.C. Wainwright & Co. , LLC as placement agent to the Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.375 per share, a term of 5 years, and are exercisable immediately. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants granted to the purchasers of the Offering incl udes an anti-dilution provision that allows for the automatic reset of the exercise price upon any future sale of the Company’ s common stock, warrants, options, convertible debt or any other equity-linked securities at an issuance, exercis e or conversion price below the current exercise price of the warrants, provided that the exercise price shall not be reduced to less than $ 0.20 per share. Additionally, all of the Warrants granted to the purchasers of the Offering and the Placement Agent Warrants are subject to provision for certain fundamental transactions. The Comp any considered the current FASB guidance of “Determining Whether an Instrument Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” a nd determined that the exercise prices of the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants were not fixed amounts because they are subject to fluctuation based on the occurrence of future offerings or events, and certain fundamental transactions. As a result, the Company determined that the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’ s own stock and characterized the initial fair value of these warrants as derivative liabilities upon issuance. The Compan y determined the aggregate initial fair value of the Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants in th e Offering to be $ 1,694,651 at issuance valued using a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. For financial statement purposes, the amount of the derivative liability created from the issuance of the W arrants and the Placement Agent Warrants of $1,694,651 has been offset to the net cash proceeds received of $ 1,291,574 , resulting in a net reduction of additional paid-in capital of $ 408,077 from the sale of the Shares of common stock and Warrants. Common stock issued to employees for services with vesting terms The Company has issued the following shares of common stock to employees and directors that vest over time: · In July and August 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 700,000 shares of its common stock to employees and a director of the Company, with aggregate fair value of $ 189,000 at grant date, and vesting over a period ranging from 16 months to 60 months from the date of grant under the Company's stock option and incentive plan (the “2012 Stock Incentive Plan”). · In July 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to an employee of the Company with fair value of $ 36,000 at grant date and vesting over a period of 31 months from the date of grant under the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. · In conjunction with the Percipio asset purchase (see Note 3) entered into by the Company on May 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with a new employee, pursuant to which the Company granted 100,000 shares of its common stock with fair value of $ 38,000 at grant date . The 100,000 shares of stock is vesting over a period of 24 months from the date of grant under the Company's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. · In conjunction with the Distribution and License Agreements (see Note 9) entered into by the Company in August 2014, the Company entered into employment agreements with two new employees, pursuant to which the Company granted an aggregate of 1 ,40 0,000 shares of its common stock , with aggregate fair value of $ 420,000 at grant date .

An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock will also be issued and will vest upon achievement certain milestones, for which the Company will account for their costs at the time their issuance becomes probable. These shares of common stock were valued based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock at the dates of grant and determined the aggregate fair value s to be of approximately $ 683 ,000 . The allocable portion of the aggregate fair value s of the se shares of common stock that vested during the year s ended March 31, 201 6 and 201 5 amounted to $ 161,936 and $ 329,511 , respectively, and were recognized as expense in the accomp anying statements of operations during the years then ended.

Shares of restricted stock granted above are subject to forfeiture to the Company or other restrictions that will lapse in accordance with a vesting schedule determined by our Board. In the event a recipient’s employment or service with the Company terminates, any or all of the shares of common stock held by such recipient that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock agreement are forfeited to the Company in accordance with such restricted grant agreement. The Company reclassified $ 149,714 from unvested , unissued common stock to additional paid-in capital relating to the unvested portion of vested shares granted as of the prior year ended March 31, 2014, to make its presentation of stockholders’ deficiency reflect the transaction more appropriately.

WARRANTS | 7. WARRANTS A summary of warrants to purchase common stock issued during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2016 is as follows: Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance outstanding at March 31, 2014 7,727,129 $ 0.41 Granted 8,076,472 0.37 Exercised (3,676,472) 0.40 Cancelled - - Balance outstanding at March 31, 2015 12,127,129 $ 0.39 Granted 12,900,005 0.34 Exercised - - Expired (5,000,002) 0.35 Balance outstanding at March 31, 2016 20,027,132 $ 0.35 Balance exercisable at March 31, 2016 20,027,132 $ 0.35 On September 9, 2014, we offered the holders of 3,676,472 warrants the right to exercise all of those warrants, for an aggregate of 3,676,472 shares of our common stock, based on the terms of an early exercise offer wherein such warrants became exercisable at a reduced exercise price of $ 0.40 per share and new warrants would be issued to such investors, so long as the exercise thereof occurred on or before September 10, 2014. All purchasers acted on the early exercise offer and we issued 3,676,472 shares of our common stock for net proceeds to us of $ 1,470,589 . We determined that the modification of the exercise price of the warrants from $ 0.42 per share to $ 0.40 per share should be recorded as a cost to induce the exercise of the warrants. As such, we recognized the difference of $ 21,218 between the fair value of the warrants before and after the modification as a cost in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015. In conjunction with the early exercise offer, we issued to the warrant holders who acted on such offer new, replacement warrants to purchase an additional 3,676,472 shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the replacement warrants are the same as the terms of the originally issued warrants, except that: (a) the initial exercise date is September 10, 2014 rather than June 28, 2013; (b) the replacement warrants have an exercise term of five years rather than nine months; (c) the exercise price of the replacement warrants is $ 0.45 per share (subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments as described below and a floor exercise price of $ 0.20 per share); and (d) the replacement warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such warrants are not registered under the Securities Act and are restricted securities. The new warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance. These replacement warrants also provide for the adjustment of the exercise price and/or number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof in connection with stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions to the Company’s common stockholders and subsequent equity sales by the Company at an effective price lower than the then-current exercise price of the replacement warrants. We determined that the fair value of these replacement warrants at their issue date of $ 940,549 was recorded as a cost to induce the exercise of the originally issued nine-month warrants in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015. In May 2015, the Company granted 5,000,002 Series A warrants, 5,000,002 Series B warrants and 2,500,001 Series C warrants in connection with an offering of the Company’s common stock for cash. Each Series A Warrant has an exercise price of $ 0.45 per share, was immediately exercisable, and expires on the five year anniversary of the date of issuance. Each Series B Warrant has an exercise price of $ 0.35 per share, was immediately exercisable, and expire d on the nine month anniversary of the date of issuance. Each Series C Warrant has an exercise price of $ 0.40 per share, was immediately exercisable, and will expire on the one year anniversary of the date of issuance. T he Company also issued Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to H.C. Wainwright. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.375 per share, a term of 5 years, and are exercisable immediately. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants granted to the purchasers of the Offering includes an anti-dilution provision that allows for the automatic reset of the exercise price upon any future sale of the Company’s common stock, warrants, options, convertible debt or any other equity-linked securities at an issuance, exercise or conversion price below the current exercise price of the warrants, provided that the exercise price shall not be reduced to less than $ 0.20 per share. Additionally, all of the Warrants granted to the purchasers of the Offering and to the placement agent are subject to provision for certain fundamental transactions. In consideration of applicable guidance, the Company has determined that none of the warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, since the exercise prices of the warrants are subject to fluctuation based on the occurrence of future offerings or events and are not a fixed amount, and therefore characterizes the fair value of these warrants as derivative liabilities (See Note 3). In consideration of applicable guidance, the Company has determined that the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, since the exercise prices of the warrants are subject to fluctuation based on the occurrence of future offerings or events and are not a fixed amount, and therefore characterized the fair value of these warrants of $ 401,127 as a derivative liability upon issuance (See Note 4). Warrants issued to employees On August 25, 2014, we entered into employment agreements with two new employees, pursuant to which, these employees became entitled to receive warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.30 , and a term of ten years from issue date. Vesting terms of these warrants are as follows: (i) warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock vested immediately at their grant date , (ii) warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of common stock have vesting terms ranging from one year to three years, and (iii) warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of common stock vest upon achievement of certain milestones under the distribution agreement (See Note 9). During the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we expensed total stock-based compensation related to the vesting of these warrants of $ 182,072 and $ 432,772 , respectively and the remaining unamortized cost of the outstanding warrants at March 31, 2016 was $ 91,036 . The aggregate intrinsic value of all of the outstanding and exercisable w arrants at March 31, 201 6 was $ 0 . |

INCOME TAXES | 8. INCOME TAXES The Company has no tax provision for any period presented due to our history of operating losses. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss ca rry forwards of approximately $8,9 00,000 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2030. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as management has determined that their realization is not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. The Company adopted accounting rules which address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under these rules, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These accounting rules also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 201 6 no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded. |

DISTRIBUTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS | 9. DISTRIBUTION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS Related to our legacy stevia business products and technologies, on August 25, 2014, we entered into a distribution agreement where Qualipride International (“Qualipride”) agreed to provide stevia products to the Company at its cost, plus up to 2 % for handling costs and up to a 5 % sales commission. The Company will account for such costs as such sales are made, or as such other direct costs are incurred. During the year ended March 31, 2016, neither any sales were made nor were other direct costs incurred pursuant to the terms of the distribution agreement. Concurrently, we also entered into a technology license agreement with Qualipride, Mr. Dong Yuejin and Mr. Guo Yuxiao in which we obtained an exclusive license outside China to use Qualipride’s proprietary methods and designs for stevia extraction and purification facilities. The Company will account for the potential costs of such license and obligation once adequate financing has been received to finance facility construction contemplated within the agreement, if such financing occurs. During the year ended March 31, 2016, the Company did not receive any financing pursuant to the terms of the license agreement. Under employment agreements related to the distribution and license agreements, Mr. Dong and Mr. Guo are entitled to receive an aggregate of 2,400,000 restricted shares of our common stock (see Note 5) and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of our common stock (see Note 7). An aggregate of 400,000 shares of our restricted common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 800,000 shares of our common stock vested immediately upon issuance . An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock have vesting terms ranging from one to three years. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock will be issued and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of our common stock will vest once we achieve certain financial and operational milestones . The Company will account for the costs of the 1,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of common stock, at the time their issuance becomes probable. During the year ended March 31, 2016, no such milestones were met and as of the year ended March 31, 2016, we owed no compensation pursuant to these employment agreements. The distribution, license and employment agreements are all scheduled to terminate in August 2016, and the Company does not intend to renew or restructure them unless it obtains significant new strategic partnering interest or supply contracts from multinational ingredient or beverage companies related to its stevia products or technologies. |

The month to month lease began on August 20, 2012 and was terminated in June 2015. The Company’s rent payment was $1,000 per month. On August 22, 2012, the Company paid $1,000 as a refundable security deposit under the Sacramento lease. Aggregate payments under the above leases for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $30,600 and $49,000 , respectively. |

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF OPERATIONS [Abstract] | |
Going Concern | Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a stockholders’ deficiency of $ 518,165 as at March 31, 201 6 , and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and/or raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. W e estimate as of March 31, 201 6 we will have sufficient funds to operate the business for the next 6 months. We will require additional financing to fund our planned future operations, including the continuation of our ongoing research and development efforts, seeking to license or acquire new assets, and researching and developing any potential patents and any further intellectual property that we may acquire. Further, these estimates could differ if we encounter unanticipated difficulties, in which case our current funds may not be sufficient to operate our business for that period. In addition, our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to operate our business may prove to be wrong, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. Subsequent to March 31, 2016, we completed a private placement of our common stock and warrants resulting in net proceeds of $ 265,000 , of which proceeds amounting to $ 99,970 were received in March 2016. We do not have any other firm commitments for future capital. Significant additional financing will be required to fund our planned principal operations in the near term and in future periods, including research and development activities relating to stevia extract production, developing and seeking regulatory approval for any of our stevia product candidates, commercializing any product candidate for which we are able to obtain regulatory approval or certification, seeking to license or acquire new assets or businesses, and maintaining our intellectual property rights and pursuing rights to new technologies. We do not presently have, nor do we expect in the near future to have, significant revenue to fund our business from our operations, and will need to obtain most of our necessary funding from external sources in the near term. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings, and we expect to continue to rely on these sources of capital in the future. However, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted, and obtaining commercial loans would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we pursue capital through alternative sources, such as collaborations or other similar arrangements, we may be forced to relinquish rights to our proprietary technology or other intellectual property and could result in our receipt of only a portion of any revenue that may be generated from a partnered product or business. Further, these or other sources of capital may not be available on commercially reasonable or acceptable terms when needed, or at all. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail and our stockholders could lose all of their investment. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, reserves for accounts receivable, the fair value of equity instruments issued for services, and input assumptions used in the valuation of derivative liabilities. |
Revenues | Revenues Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for products and/or services that have been delivered in the normal course of business, title has passed, the selling price is both fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured, all of which generally occurs upon shipment of the Company’s product or delivery of the product to the destination specified by the customer. The Company determines whether delivery has occurred based on when title transfers and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, which usually occurs when the Company ships the products. The Company regularly reviews its customers’ financial positions to ensure that collectability is reasonably assured. Except for warranties, the Company has no post-sales obligations. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company’s historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. The allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts is established through a provision reducing the carrying value of receivables. At March 31, 2016 and 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts and returns and discounts was approximately $ 17,500 and $ 2,500 , respectively. |
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Authoritative guidance provided by FASB defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. The fair value of the derivative liabilities of $ 401,127 and $ 1,406,596 at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were valued using Level 2 inputs. The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a probability weighted average Black-Scholes-Merton models to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates through the March 31, 2016, reporting date. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's statements of operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company periodically issues unvested (“restricted”) shares of its common stock to employees as equity incentives. The Company’s restricted stock vests upon the satisfaction of a recipient’s service condition, which is satisfied over a period of number of years. The restricted shares vest over certain period and remain subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions are not met. The Company values the shares based on the price per share of the Company’s shares at the date of grant and recognizes the value as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: March 31, 2016 2015 Options 9,091,667 6,325,000 Warrants 20,027,132 12,127,129 Total 29,118,799 18,452,129 |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development costs consist primarily of fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, patent fees and costs, and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and testing of the Company's treatments and product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred over the life of the underlying contracts on the straight-line basis, unless the achievement of milestones, the completion of contracted work, or other information indicates that a different expensing schedule is more appropriate. The Company reviews the status of its research and development contracts on a quarterly basis. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Entities will be able to transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-6 do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. ASU 2014-6 applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases . ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the standard could have on its financial statements and related disclosures. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. |
