New Product Partnership for Apricot Power Apricot Power is always excited to be your source for the abundant, natural benefits that apricot seeds and supplements offer. Because the company cares about its customers' health, it is continuously looking for new products that may help them on their journey to good health. Over the past year or so, Apricot Power has researched the many medicinal benefits of cannabidiol (CBD). Apricot Power sought out partners who it thought could help the company create and deliver a line of CBD products that it could believe in and proudly support. The company is pleased to an- nounce that it has finally found that partner: Natural Serum CBD. Apricot Power will be offering Natural Serum CBD products through CBD17, a subsidiary of Apricot Power. A separate web- site at www.cbd17.com has been set up to support the products. Benefits of Hemp-Based CBD Oil Scientific research on CBD has picked up and a broad range of CBD benefits has been identified. Research shows that hemp-based cannabidiol products like Apricot Power's CBD17 products may help relieve pain, reduce anxiety and de- pression, reduce oxidative stress, improve heart health and help with insomnia, among other benefits. Is CBD Oil Legal? CBD oil and other hemp-extracted products are perfectly legal to be used and sold within the United States. The growing, processing and selling of hemp extracts – including c a n n a b i n o i d s from industrial hemp – is pos- sible through federal regula- tion within Sec- tion 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, which the U.S. Congress passed and signed into law. Apricot Power's hemp-based CBD products contain 0 percent THC and are therefore non-psychoactive. Buy with Confidence Apricot Power's goal is to build the trust necessary for long-term customer relation- ships. It understands that starts with offering quality products, outstanding service and sound customer policies. One policy to note is its "Wholesale Refund and Return Policy." Wholesale accounts have up to one year to return product. Product returned within six months is eligible for a full cash refund. Product returned after that six month mark is only eligible for account credit.

New El Sabroso Cantina Line from Snak King Did you know that the original tortilla chip was popularized as a snack in Los Angeles and San Antonio, Texas in the early 1940s? Which of the two cities to first make the delicious snack is the subject of much de- bate. Today, according to IRI Multi-Outlet trends ending 12/31/17, the U.S. Tortilla Chip category is $4.2B in size with a dollar growth rate of 1.6 percent. "Consumers are looking for authentic, ar- tisanal snack brands that are delicious and that have healthy good-for-you qualities," said Joe Papiri, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Snak King. "Our new El Sabroso ® Cantina Tortilla Chips are crafted the old-fashioned way – cut from freshly made corn tortillas and cooked to a delicious crunch, plus they are non-GMO, gluten free, kosher and have no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives." "I believe that new entries such as this line can help to further accelerate growth in the category by attracting new shoppers as well as to increase the shopping basket for our retailers – as after all, who eats tor- tilla chips alone? Our chips are excellent as an appetizer or a meal starter – great for dipping, but terrific for nachos!" said Pa- piri. The new El Sabroso Cantina line is made up of three varieties: El Sabroso Cantina Thick and Crunchy Tortilla Chips, El Sabroso Cantina Thin and Crispy Tortilla Chips and El Sabroso Cantina Jalapeño Lime Flavored Tortilla Chips. The Cantina line can be found in specialty and grocery retailers across the country.
