Coconut Creek, FL, Mar 25, 2019 - (ACN Newswire) - via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- 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 twist in 5 of its signature formulations including; sleep, pain, stress, weight, and energy. 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. https://www.fda.gov/Food/NewsEvents/ConstituentUpdates/ucm628910.htm
