NanoSphere Receives First Export Order for CBD Hemp Products From Abba Imports in Mexico

NanoSphere Health Sciences (CSE:NSHS)(“NanoSphere” or “the Company”) has for the first time received an order to export its patented Evolve Formulas CBD Hemp transdermal NanoSerum™.

The initial order is for 60,000 units of the Company’s Evolve Formulas CBD Hemp transdermal NanoSerum™. The order comes from Abba Import Export S.A. de C.V. (Abba), one of the premiere distributors of health and wellness products in Mexico. Abba is a large supplier for the top retailers in the country, including the top national pharmacy and grocery chains, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Costco.

Abba also signed in December 2018 a Letter of Intent to become NanoSphere’s exclusive partner for CBD and cannabis-related products, when cannabis becomes legal in Mexico over the coming year. Abba has decided to immediately begin distributing NanoSphere’s CBD Hemp products, given the strong and growing demand for high-quality CBD products in Mexico.

“People in our country have seen the positive health effects of CBD for things like joint and muscle pain or inflammation,” explained Julio Antonio D Miguel, President and CEO of Abba. “NanoSphere’s products are unique in that their nanotechnology allows the CBD to be delivered directly through the skin to the affected area. “We are very excited to bring this exciting health technology to our customers in Mexico for the first time.”

The Evolve Formulas transdermal NanoSerum™ is produced by NanoSphere in Colorado and currently sold only in the United States. The order from Abba marks the first time NanoSphere will export its products. “We are very excited to enter this new phase of the Company’s growth with our close partner in Mexico,” said NanoSphere CEO Robert Sutton. “We have been incredibly impressed with the quality of their production facilities and the professionalism of their sales and marketing team.“We feel this initial distribution of our CBD products is an excellent first step in growing our partnership and our global business.”

The CBD industry is among the fastest growing in the world today, with cannabis research firm the Brightfield Group estimating the market will grow from roughly $500 million USD in 2018 to $22 billion in 2022. While cannabis is illegal federally in the US and many other countries, CBD can be produced from hemp, which was exempted from the Controlled Substances Act by the 2018 Farm Bill.

NanoSphere’s CBD products under its Evolve Formulas brand are unique, as the Company holds patents for the process by which CBD and various cannabinoids can be delivered through the skin or mucous membranes using NanoSphere’s proprietary nanotechnology. Evolve’s pioneering CBD and cannabis products are a fast-acting, ultra-strength transdermal formula infused with nano-encapsulated cannabis or CBD extracts.

The order from Abba initiates a process required for registration of Evolve Formulas products in Mexico through the Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS), which is responsible for regulating health-related regulations in Mexico, including those for food safety, health products and medical devices.

Registration with COFEPRIS, known in English as the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risks, is in process and is required prior to the shipping of NanoSphere products to Mexico.
