Liberty offers range of premium, natural hemp-based products of ultra-high-quality CBD, nutraceuticals and vitamins designed to enhance health and wellness
TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2018 /CNW/ - Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE: LHS) (OTCQX: LHSIF) www.libertyhealthsciences.com ("Liberty" or the "Company"), a provider of high quality cannabis, today announced the launch of Zentient Labs, a line of premium hemp-based CBD products made from a proprietary formula of ultra-high quality CBD, nutraceuticals and vitamins that promote energy and focus for wellness seekers.
The CBD market is experiencing dramatic growth and is predicted to grow to $2.1 billion in consumer sales by 2020, with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources. Demand for CBD has also increased rapidly due in large part to the wide variety of ways it can be used in products, ranging from food and cosmetics to beverages and a myriad of health supplements.
"Liberty Health Sciences is quickly becoming a leading cultivator and distributor of premium cannabis products through low-cost production techniques and high-end dispensary design and intends to apply the same techniques to the cultivation and distribution of hemp-derived products," said George Scorsis, CEO of Liberty Health Sciences. "We currently operate two facilities in Florida with a total cultivation capacity of over 41,000 square feet.
"The Company has increased its cultivation capacity to more than 120,000 square feet and will grow to approximately 225,000 square feet by early 2019. Our processing facility utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and techniques for extraction and purification and our experience with medical marijuana is directly applicable to industrial hemp," said Scorsis.
Zentient Labs will include a line of products across numerous categories including propriety brands and partner brands. These categories will include an athletic line, a wellness line, beauty and premium pet products.
Liberty carefully selected the brand name Zentient Labs to deliver on a promise to provide high-quality CBD products to customers who seek out creative pursuits, the deepest of relaxation and the most aggressive sports activities. The Company did extensive consumer research to define what this brand will represent.
"Zentient Labs' line of wellness products was designed to support your desired activity, so you can be in the 'Zentient Zen state', as we call it," said Stephanie Kubacki, Vice President of Marketing, Liberty Health Sciences. "When 'in the zone', you become one with the activity, lost in the rhythm of the tasks at hand. It's characterized by complete connectedness and presence, being solely focused on that exact moment in time. This is what our exciting line of products looks to support. Let's face it, with the pace of life these days, many of us strive to be more conscious and in the now."
Liberty used the services of Theory SF www.theorysf.com, a multi-disciplinary marketing agency located in the heart of San Francisco to create the Zentient Labs brand image.
