Agritek Holdings Inc. Announces Manufacturing Purchase Order for Production and Distribution of First Formulated Flavored Capsules Cannabol Rx and Advanced Hemp Caps
LOS ANGELES, CA--(February 05, 2016) - Agritek Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: AGTK) (http://www.Agritekholdings.com), a leader in Compassionate Care Technology and agricultural solutions for the recreational cannabis industry, today announced that the Company has executed its first manufacturing purchase order for patented flavored capsules for the production and distribution of its new proprietary formulated capsules under the brands Cannabol Rx and Advanced Hemp Caps. The Company has already negotiated distribution for the products to be manufactured and packaged in Colorado and California, two of the largest markets within the recreational sector.
Cannabol Rx will be the first flavored capsule containing CBD with a proprietary formulation sold through licensed distributors in regulated jurisdictions. The Capsules for the first time will be offered in three flavors; coffee for its "awake" formula, berry flavor for its "focus" formulation and mint for its sleep formulation. The initial release will be the mint flavor for sleep and relaxation containing 10 ml of CBD and additional natural, organic sleep aids.
Advanced Hemp Caps will be one of the first flavored capsules contacting pure Hemp Oil, able to be sold nationally offering the many benefits of Hemp Seed Oil extract. Hemp Oil products are already sold legally and contain zero THC, similar to hemp protein, ice cream, beauty products and oil tinctures now offered in big brand chains including Whole Foods, GNC and national health food chains. Formulations are being approved by Agritek's advisory board member, Dr. Stephen Holt, world reknowned physician, scientist and Best-Selling Author including his new book "The Cannabis Revolution."
"Under our manufacturing agreement and proposed distribution partners in multiple jurisdictions and products being sold nationally, we expect to be producing 50,000 capsules per month by April of this year," stated B. Michael Friedman, CEO of Agritek Holdings Inc. "With a downward trend in smoking and vapor markets and more FDA regulations with e-cig devices, we expect to become the leader within the medicinal capsule market offering a healthier delivery alternative of Hemp oil in a flavored, easily digestible capsule," further stated Friedman. Retail price is expected to average roughly $2.99 per capsule in packages of three for the "awake-focus-sleep" packs and 30 day supply bottles. The Company has further plans to follow its release of capsules with a beverage line already in production.
Agritek Holdings would like to additionally note that it has signed an engagement letter with a new auditing firm to once again remain in compliance with its reporting requirements and is awaiting final approval to file the 8K. "We wanted to seek out a firm that was familiar with the recreational wellness sector and represented clients within the space for a long term relationship and are in the final due diligence phase for acceptance and updating our filings," further stated Friedman.
