VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NATURALLY SPLENDID ENTERPRISES LTD. (TSX-V: NSP)(OTCQB: NSPDF) (“Naturally Splendid” or “NSE” or the “ Company” or “Naturally Splendid USA”) is pleased to provide a further update on its previously announced non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) between Naturally Splendid USA Ltd. and NeutriSci International Inc. ("NeutriSci") (TSX-V: NU, OTCQB: NRXCF, FRANKFURT: 1N9), together the (“Parties”).



Naturally Splendid USA and NeutriSci are pleased to announce the extension and addition of binding terms to the previously announced LOI. This new binding LOI signifies the successful completion of an agreement to produce a sublingual HempOmega® tablet using NeutriSci’s IP and technology, as well as a sublingual tablet combining HempOmega® and CBD (cannabidiol). A definitive agreement will follow in the coming weeks.



The definitive agreement will include at least two NeutriSci formulated sublingual tablets, including:

a CBD/HempOmega® fortified sublingual tablet; and a HempOmega® fortified sublingual tablet.

Both parties have agreed to expand the initial scope of distribution. The newly developed HempOmega® sublingual tablet will now be available through Naturally Splendid’s partner distribution networks in South Korea, Japan and Australia.

In addition, Naturally Splendid will commence distribution of NeutriSci’s neuenergy® in the Australian market. Neuenergy® is a revolutionary energy tab designed to deliver enhanced focus and mental clarity with no sugar, no calories and no crash associated with typical energy products.

Production will begin on the full spectrum HempOmega® tablets to be sold in South Korea, Japan and now Australia, and will be manufactured at a licensed partner facility in Northern California. Additionally, as regulations allow, Naturally Splendid will begin marketing the CBD / HempOmega® sublingual tablets in regions where CBD (cannabidiol) products are approved for sale.

Doug Mason, CEO of Naturally Splendid commented: “This is yet another significant milestone for NSE’s proprietary HempOmega®, the micro-encapsulated hemp seed oil ingredient that continues to excel in the product formulations it was intended to enhance. We have been eagerly developing this product with NeutriSci for sale in international territories, and executing this extended LOI will accelerate our entry to these markets, as well as allow for new formulations to be launched rapidly. Accessing our already established distribution network gives NSE and NeutriSci an advantage most companies are still striving to achieve. We anticipate a swift and timely closure to the definitive agreement and will provide updates in short order. NSE would like to thank NeutriSci for their commitment and contribution to producing high-quality, innovative products, that we are excited to be co-producing.”

NeutriSci’s CEO, Glen Rehman commented, “This new arrangement brings us a final step closer to introducing and establishing a one-of-a-kind HempOmega® product into the Asian and Australian marketplace. This ground-breaking product becomes accessible to millions of potential users and sets the stage for further expansion into the region. We look forward to the continued international diversification and execution of our expansion plans as we move forward with this product and others that incorporate our technology and IP!”
