Jim Frazier, CEO of Nutritional High commented – “We could not be more excited about our expedited entry into the California market.  Partnering with a top-tier, fully-licensed, concentrate manufacturer and leveraging Calyx’s entrenched sales channels offers us the strategic entry into the California market we’ve been working toward. Getting our products on the shelves of dispensaries while we continue to advance our Sacramento facility will allow us to build significant brand awareness to support our California vision for FLI branded products.”

Mr.  Frazier continued – “The cold-ethanol extraction process utilized by our California manufacturing partner is similar to that presently utilized by Palo Verde in Colorado.  Under the supervision of Nutritional High’s extraction team led by Billy Morrison, we expect that the FLI concentrates offered for sale in California will be of the same premium quality as is currently generating great success for us in the Colorado market.”
