Exclusive Agreement Between NutraLife Biosciences Inc. (NLBS) and Owen J. Morgan Introduces Breakthrough Hemp Crop Extraction Technologies

Coconut Creek, FL, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — NutraLife Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company” or “NutraLife”) (OTCQB: NLBS) announces that its subsidiary, PhytoChem Technologies, Inc. (“PhytoChem”) has entered an exclusive agreement with Owen J. Morgan, founder and CEO of Global Ecology Group (GEG) for the commercialization of the Ennea Processor (“Ennea”) in the United States of America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Canada.

The Ennea is a unique system designed to extract bioactive compounds including cannabinoids from hemp and other plants. The Ennea process under the direction of Owen J. Morgan is a revolutionary method allowing for the extraction of components from whole plants while maintaining the cellular and fiber integrity of the plant. The Ennea’s process provides for the full recovery of biomass for further applications and eliminates the necessity of secondary recovery methods.

“Ennea is revolutionary, not only because of the results it produces but most importantly, because higher yields come with higher quality than ever witnessed in the industry,” says Owen J. Morgan. “Added to that, Ennea produces less waste, with a recovery of nearly 100% of all materials. That coupled with stunningly low energy requirements and complete extraction in one single pass makes Ennea the most environmentally responsible system ever developed for plant extraction. Ennea is highly scalable, mobile, and can be adapted to the needs of every user.”

Earlier this month, Mr. Morgan demonstrated and ran trials of the Ennea Process on a certified US grown hemp crop strain. The results, analyzed according to independent industry recognized standards for quantitative analysis (HPLC), confirm full spectrum extraction of all bioactive compounds including all terpenes. On the certified crop trials, Ennea extracted on average 30% higher yields than was previously believed to exist in the cannabinoid group.

Edgar Ward, NutraLife’s Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “This cooperation leverages the synergy between GEG and NutraLife Biosciences and sets a new bar for the hemp crop extraction industry. The results witnessed after the trials performed by Mr. Morgan are even beyond our expectations. We believe that the Ennea system will completely change the extraction industry itself and, more importantly, it will bring higher quality hemp products to consumers.”

Through PhytoChem, NutraLife BioSciences plans to establish several Ennea Processing Plants across the United States of America to meet the demands of its partner growers for the 2019 growing season. PhytoChem estimates that the first Ennea facilities will be functional in October 2019 starting with four 800-liter systems.

We look forward to continued growth and new opportunities in the Nutraceutical, CBD and Life Sciences markets as we enter the second quarter of 2019.,” said Edgar Ward, CEO and Founder of NutraLife.

2018 Operational Overview

NutraLife’s manufacturing facility has been registered with the Food and Drug Administration and its manufacturing facility has operated in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Processes Standard (GMP) for more than five years. The Company’s products are tested by its in-house laboratory chemists for strength, purity and contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents. The Company offers thirteen (13) different core formulations which it modifies to meet the specifications of its private label customers. NutraLife BioSciences provides approximately 50 different variations of its core formulations. The Company’s private label products include CBD-infused oral sprays, tinctures, pet drops, pain balms, and face creams, and nutraceutical oral spray products for sleep support and weight loss packaged under the customer’s brand names.

New Facility

In April 2017, the Company secured a 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility, which is being custom built to accommodate high-speed high capacity manufacturing of the Company’s products. The Company expects the build-out to be complete and production to begin this summer. The facility will provide more than 9,000 square feet of manufacturing with a total of 17,000 square feet of processing space to meet the increased demand for the Company’s products and services.

Subsidiaries

The Company recently established its wholly owned subsidiaries which are now engaged in operations:

  • Precision Analytic Testing, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PAT”) formed on May 11, 2017
  • NutraDerma Technologies, Inc, (“NutraDerma”) a Florida corporation formed on January 28, 2019
  • PhytoChem Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation (“PhytoChem”) formed on February 4, 2019

Recent Developments

In November of 2018, PAT began providing bulk material analytical, identity, potency and purity testing of raw industrial hemp.

In December of 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration completed an evaluation of three generally recognized as safe (GRAS) notices for hemp seed derived food ingredients. The FDA stated that hulled hemp seed (GRN765), hemp seed protein powder (GRN771), and hemp seed oil (GRN778) are GRAS under their intended conditions of use. Our CBD products are made from seeds and mature stalks of hemp and contain only trace amounts of THC, we believe they qualify as GRAS products.

In January of 2019, NutraDerma acquired the patent for a natural dermal skin patch that is designed to prevent mosquito and other insect bites.  We recently secured manufacturing through a third party and we expect to launch the product in time for the 2019 mosquito season. We have secured production and are in the process of conducting a research study for efficacy. We are also exploring international distribution of the product.

In April of 2019, the Company completed development of its PCR Derma Patch. The PCR Derma Patch delivers 40 mg of Phytocannabinoid rich hemp extract that can last up to four days.

In March of 2019, the Company licensed its technology for a unique system for pharmaceutical grade delivery of testosterone into the human body to a licensed pharmacist, Orlando Pharmacy. The Company expects the first pharmaceutical products using its technology to be available within 30 days.

In March of 2019, we received two licenses from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture to grow and process industrial hemp within the state. The Company plans to develop efficient, cost reducing growing systems and techniques along with processing technologies for industrial hemp and other botanicals.

In January, the Company completed development of its branded Micro Twist Shots. The products will be sold under the Company’s NutraHempCBD brand. The Company plans to launch the products before the end of April 2019. Micro Twist Shots provide a single dose of the Company’s 5 signature daily health and wellness formulations that include CBD.

Future Strategy

We intend to grow our business by pursuing the following strategies:

  • We plan to continue to brand ourselves as a High-Quality GMP Compliant manufacturer of industrial hemp derived CBD products. Many manufacturers of CBD based products do not operate in compliance with GMP standards. All of our CBD products are tested at multiple stages of the production process to ensure product quality and a THC content of less than 0.3%.
  • We will seek to increase sales to our existing customers by offering additional products. Certain customers of ours began their relationship with us by purchasing only one of our products. Since these initial purchases, we have been able to expand our sales to such customers by offering multiple newly developed high-quality effective products. This strategy has enabled us to expand our product lines and sales to our new and existing customers. Our range of products enables us to pursue many cross-selling opportunities.
  • We seek to increase sales to customers by offering products in categories outside of our traditional product offerings. For example, in November of 2018, through our wholly owned subsidiary PAT, we began providing bulk material analytical, identity, potency and purity testing of raw hemp. In the first quarter of 2019, we took the first steps to commercialize a patented all natural dermal skin patch that prevents mosquito and other insect bites. Through our wholly owned subsidiary PhytoChem, we plan to provide hemp cultivation and raw bulk material extraction and processing starting with our licenses in the state of Wisconsin.
  • We plan to leverage our sales, reputation for quality all natural products to expand our customer base to other private label customers within the life sciences, CBD and Nutraceutical markets.

Summary: CVS Health Corp. announces it will carry cannabidiol, also known as CBD, the non-psychoactive derivative of hemp in about 800 stores across the US.

NutraLife Biosciences, Inc. (“the Company” or “NutraLife”) (OTCQB: NLBS) notes current trends in the retail space including CVS Health Corp.’s announcement that it will carry products containing CBD derived from hemp in about 800 of its U.S. drugstores.

NutraLife announces new additions to its NutraHempCBD product line with a micro shot CBD twists in 5 of its signature formulations including; sleep, pain, stress, weight, and sleep. The NutraHempCBD twists are designed for on-the-go convenience and set to launch on April 15 of this year.

“It is encouraging to see that mainstream retail giants like CVS are offering hemp derived CBD products to consumers,” said Edgar Ward, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NutraLife Biosciences.

NutraHempCBD is in the last stages of development of its CBD micro shot twist products offering a single serving of CBD plus other clinically tested ingredients for daily health and wellness applications. The launch of the CBD micro shot twists in its 5 signature formulations demonstrate evolving and innovative retail-ready nutraceutical and industrial hemp CBD products.

Since 2013, the Company has engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of nutraceutical products for both branded and private label sales. In 2017, the Company launched its industrial hemp CBD products for private label sales and its own NutraHempCBD brand. The Company’s products are sold at a variety of retailers including drugstores.

According to reports, executives on Curaleaf’s earnings conference call said CVS would begin to carry its Curaleaf hemp lotions and transdermal patches in about 800 stores across 10 U.S. states. Chief Executive Officer of CVS, Joe Lusardi said Wednesday that the products would be available in stores by this Friday and through the CVS website “soon.”

On December 20, 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration completed an evaluation of three generally recognized as safe (GRAS) notices for hemp seed-derived food ingredients. The agency concluded that hulled hemp seed (GRN765), hemp seed protein powder (GRN771), and hemp seed oil (GRN778) are GRAS as they contain only trace amounts of THC and CBD. The GRAS notices are for three different hemp seed-derived ingredients for certain uses including adding them as a source of protein, carbohydrates, oil, and other nutrients to beverages (juices, smoothies, protein drinks, plant-based alternatives to dairy products), soups, dips, spreads, sauces, dressings, plant-based alternatives to meat products, desserts, baked goods, cereals, snacks and nutrition bars. The FDA’s complete release of the GRAS notice can be read here.
