Who We Are Spectrum Nutriscience, is a next generation pharmaceutical company that has developed a line of 20 Condition Specific CBD formulations enhanced with 3 rd party GRAS (Generally Agreed As Safe) certified molecules that enhance efficacy . In addition to these 20+ Condition specific formulations we have developed 4 Beauty products and 5 beverages. Each of these products addresses a multi-billion dollar market and a revolutionary approach to the multiple pathways of disease. Our products are targeted not only at lucrative spaces, but areas like Opioid Cessation and Smoking Cessation where the health costs, and lives destroyed is extensive and where we can do the greatest good. A very important component of the company ethos is that we are in a position to create a Unicorn value that on a market cap basis can have a disproportionate impact on the health, and wellness of humanity while concurrently providing humanity with alternative to the poisons promoted by the Pharmaceutical industry. Market Overview The Cannabis and Hemp industries get a great deal of media coverage however despite 39+% CAGR with CBD products, the entire market will be “only” be worth approximately $2 billion in 2020. At Spectrum we take a condition specific approach to market analysis and target conditions which represent multibillion dollar markets. Frequently these markets have pharmaceuticals that individually generate $1billion+, have limited to no particular efficacy and numerous side effects. Our formulations are not restricted to the reasonably small footprint of Cannabis dispensaries which we refer to as a “sandbox”. While we can compete and win very easily in the dispensary space, our focus is on the much larger retail spaces including cosmeceuticals, pharmaceuticals, medical foods , pet foods and beverages. Competitive Advantages, Differentiation Unlike the myriad of “me-too” propositions typical of the Cannabis and CBD space, Spectrum views itself as an IP company and has combined our passion and superior science with Silicon Valley brand and technology sophistication. This combination of superior science, business sophistication and a highly flexible, capital efficient model are the cornerstones of our competitive advantage. Present Market position We are in the final stages of our initial distribution deals with several supplement companies and actively engaged in contacts with several of the world’s largest brands. We have the distribution partners to commence sales, and we believe as manufacturing scales we can get distributors with great frequency. The big brands will have much longer sales cycles and these two sources of income are perfectly complimentary.
