ROCKLEDGE, Fla., April 12, 2017 -- Elev8 Brands, Inc. (OTC Pink:VATE), a holding company focused on the commercial development of hemp and CBD-based products within the health and wellness markets announces the launch of a new line of hemp-derived E-juices, CBD-based tinctures, and water-soluble CBD.

The innovative new products have been ordered and expected to be delivered and ready to sell by the end of the month.  Elev8 Brands, Inc. is launching these products in select test markets in the Midwest, as well as through its wholly-owned subsidiary 02 Breathe which is an oxygen bar that also markets massage products, CBD-rich oils and lotions. 

Elev8 Brands, Inc. addition to its growing portfolio of products is intended to participate in the blossoming CBD market.  The CBD consumables market is forecasted to grow exponentially over the coming years.  The Hemp Business Journal (https://www.hempbizjournal.com) estimated that the CBD market will grow to a $2.1 billion market in consumer sales by 2020 with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources. That's a 700% increase from 2016. In 2015, the market for consumer sales of hemp-derived CBD products was $90 million, plus another $112 million in marijuana-derived CBD products which were sold through dispensaries – bringing a total CBD market to $202 million last year, forbes.com.

Chief Executive Officer Ryan Medico stated, “We are excited to launch these revolutionary products that address demand in an industry segment that is growing exponentially.  Our team spent a significant amount of time vetting and testing the products we believe are a game changer for the industry.” 

Elev8 Brands, Inc. will launch a variety of E-Juices that are CBD rich and available in a variety of flavors including Peach, Mango, Mint, Unicorn Punch and Watermelon.  These high-quality products will target brick and mortar vape shops, wholesalers, and distributors.  Medico continued, “We are having initial success marketing Elev8 Hemp Coffee to the retail vape scene and have received inquiries for CBD products.  With demand high we felt this was a great opportunity to expand our products, brand, and presence.” 

The Company also announces the unveiling of the highest concentrated water soluble CBD ingredient available on the market today.  This water-soluble CBD is THC-free and can be used in beverages such as coffee, tea, and water.  Elev8 Brands, Inc. plans to run samples tests of this CBD in current coffee and tea products under development.  Additionally, the company is in discussions with an organic juice manufacturer to provide the water-soluble CBD in bulk. 

Medico concluded, “We are aggressively pursuing innovative products in the hemp and hemp-derived CBD arena and are thrilled to add these products to our lineup.  As we complete test markets and identify successful products our plan is to expand nationally with the products where concepts are proven and ready for commercial scale-ip and national distribution.” 

Hemp-derived Cannabidiol (CBD) being used for these products is the part of the cannabis plant that is typically used for health and medicinal purposes versus recreational use. The CBD products Elev8 is launching are derived from industrial hemp plants.
