VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Isodiol International Inc. (CSE: ISOL ) (OTCQB: ISOLF ) (FSE: LB6B.F ) (the “Company” or “Isodiol) today announced it is exhibiting at the ASD Market Week (“ASD”) alongside the Asian American Trade Associations Council (“AATAC”).

ASD is the most comprehensive trade show for consumer merchandise in the U.S. As the leading B2B trade show in Las Vegas, ASD brings the world’s widest variety of retail merchandise together in one efficient shopping experience.

45,000 buyers from over 90 countries visit ASD each year. Of those, 98% of attendees have major purchasing power. The average buyer spends $82,500 per show, equating to $2.8 billion annually across hundreds of product categories. From department stores to convenience stores, general stores to gift shops, from grocery store distributors to fashion boutiques, this is the trade show where any buyer can find unique merchandise that will set their store merchandise apart.1

ASD is also home to the SourceDirect trade show, a B2B show for importers, distributors, wholesalers, and large retailers to buy wholesale goods directly from overseas manufacturers. SourceDirect at ASD is the go-to destination for buyers looking to source new product categories and find new ways to directly profit from manufacturers coming from top sourcing countries.

The Company and AATAC are primarily promoting the Fast CBD Relief™ brand, which Isodiol recently acquired with the CBD Naturals® brands portfolio and also launched as its flagship cannabinoid (CBD) products in the C-Store program partnership with AATAC.

Currently, Fast CBD Relief™ is available in the following forms:

'The Patch': The patch delivers fast and targeted pain relief and can be cut to size and applied to the area needed, delivering relief up to 12 hours;

'The Cream': Ideal for smaller areas of discomfort, this cooling cream supplies instant relief and can be applied to fingers, knees, ankles, neck, and any other areas of discomfort;

'The Shot': A concentrated beverage in four varieties that taste great and target specific issues, including RESCUE (relieves tension), SLEEP (promotes rest), IMMUNE (boosts immunity), and FOCUS (enhances concentration); and

'The Roll-On': Promoting a sense of calm and relaxation, this topical serum is fast and effective.

“We have been very clear on our retail effort strategy and we believe our presence alongside AATAC at ASD Market Week is another step to further enhance our presence into the mainstream Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) market,” said CEO of Isodiol, Marcos Agramont. “We will continue to educate retailers on the benefits of CBD and aim to bring our products to consumers throughout the United States and other international markets. ”
