Village Farms International’s Balance Health Botanicals Expands Product Portfolio with Launch of Innovative Synergy Collection
Village Farms International, Inc. (“Village Farms” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VFF) (TSX: VFF) today announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Balanced Health Botanicals™ (“Balanced Health”), a family of hemp-derived CBD brands, including its flagship brand CBDistillery™, has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of its innovative Synergy Collection, which was developed to enhance the multitude of benefits offered by the hemp plant beyond CBD alone.
The Synergy Collection, consists of the Balanced Health’s first ever CBD + Functional Mushroom (non-hallucinogenic), Kava Root[1], and CBDA (Cannabidiolic Acid) products, along with CBDistillery’s™ top-selling CBG (Cannabigerol) & CBN (Cannabinol) formulations. Each product in the Synergy Collection was designed with a goal of enhancing the entourage effect, which may occur when all hemp plant elements like cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds work together in synergy, allowing consumers the ability to select products based on their needs and individual product benefits rather than combining various supplements to achieve a desired effect. The Synergy Collection by CBDistillery™ introduces a new line of tinctures, vegan-friendly capsules, and drink mixes, as well as all-new CBG + CBD and CBN + CBD gummies across four categories: Daytime Synergy, Sleep Synergy, Raw Synergy and Wellness Synergy.
“The launch of this truly innovative product line marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the CBDistillery product pipeline that we believe further strengthens its positions as a top-five US CBD brand1 and a top-ranked web site within the CBD category,” said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms International. “The Synergy Collection not only allows Balanced Health to continue to build product offerings that have full-spectrum CBD, as well as other cannabinoids and other all-natural ingredients such as THC and, importantly, supporting the opportunity for more diverse wellness product line in the future.”
“We’re very excited to launch our new and much anticipated Synergy line,” said Chase Terwilliger, CEO of Balanced Health Botanicals. “We’ve touted the importance of the ‘entourage effect’ in our flagship CBD-rich Full Spectrum Hemp Extracts since day one. The Synergy Collection is expected to take it to the next level, from our popular ratios of minor-cannabinoid blends along with proven plant-based dietary ingredients, we couldn’t be more excited for our customers to experience everything these products have to offer. This line is like no-other – the culmination of years developing these formulas, which we believe can dramatically improve the quality of our customers’ lives. We look forward to expanding this collection by introducing additional beneficial minor cannabinoids, terpenes, as well as combining other plant-based dietary ingredients to leverage the benefits of the hemp plant.”
