This agreement signifies HempFusion’s strategic launch into the doctor practitioner sales channel.

HempFusion’s seven Biome Research SKUs will be available to ship from Fullscript distribution centers starting February 2, 2021.

“We are incredibly excited to launch doctor practitioner sales starting with Biome Research, a specialized wholly-owned HempFusion brand designed specifically for doctors, practitioners and their patients,” stated Nancy Angelini, HempFusion’s Director of Doctor/Practitioner.

“An industry-leading eCommerce platform like Fullscript, with a deep and established distribution network, is a tremendous advantage to HempFusion. We expect this channel to drive significant revenue growth for the Company,” continued Angelini.

Biome Research products have been under development by the Company for nearly 14 months. The products include scientifically documented strains of beneficial and living probiotic bacteria that utilize an exclusive and scientifically validated MAKTrek 3-D Probiotic Delivery System. All formulations are based on well-founded scientific research using validated methods to protect and deliver live probiotics to the lower gastrointestinal tract. The launch concludes many months of planning and preparation, including procurement of the product ingredients, final SKU productions and logistics.

“The launch into the doctor practitioner sales channel is crucial. It is a major component of the Company’s broader five-channel distribution strategy, which includes planned expansion in Natural, eCommerce, Food & Drug Mass, and Convenience channels,” stated Jason Mitchell, N.D, HempFusion’s Chief Executive Officer.
