LOS ANGELES and DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2020 / Grapefruit USA, Inc. (OTCQB:GPFT) ("Grapefruit" or the "Company"), a fully licensed California-based cannabis company, announced today that on December 2, 2020 it entered into a new License Agreement and Exclusive Supply Agreement with Zylö Therapeutics Inc. of Greenville, S.C. Execution of this agreement marks expansion of the use of Zylo's patented Z-Pod to Grapefruit's CBD only products. For details of the Agreement see Grapefruit's Current report on Form 8-K filed on December 9, 2020 and Exhibits thereto.

With respect to the new, expanded Agreements with Zylö, Bradley J. Yourist, Grapefruit's CEO, stated, "We are very excited and proud to have expanded use of Zylo's disruptive Z-Pod technology to Grapefruit's non-THC Farm Bill of 2018 CBD hemp-derived Hourglass by Grapefruit™ products. We will be able to sell our hemp derived CBD version of our Hourglass topical cream throughout the United States and Internationally in stores like CVS and Walmart. This development allows us to very quickly expand our market and audience for Hourglass by Grapefruit™ products and vastly increase Company revenues by capturing a portion of the enormous and rapidly growing worldwide Farm Bill compliant hemp derived CBD products market, while simultaneously offering that market the ability to utilize the breakthrough Z-Pod powered Hourglass by Grapefruit time -release delivery cream. No other cannabis or CBD company in the world can offer these unique and very effective CBD products."

Added Scott Pancoast, Zylö's CEO and founder, "We are enthusiastic about this partnership with Grapefruit and believe their Hourglass™ Topical Delivery Cream will be a game-changer in the recreational/medicinal full-spectrum cannabis market given its extraordinary advantages over traditional methods of consuming cannabis. We at Zylö look forward to a long and ever-expanding relationship with the Grapefruit team."

Grapefruit's proprietary Hourglass™ topical cream has solved the inherent difficulties of efficient, effective skin absorption of hemp-derived CBD products, allowing Grapefruit's customers to experience not only the many effects of CBD + other non-THC Cannabinoids following initial application, but a sustained and steady synergistic effect over time. Additional applications may be used at the user's discretion, confidently and discreetly. There simply is no other CBD product on the market that utilizes a patented time-release CBD and other non-THC Cannabinoid delivery mechanism such as Grapefruit's Hourglass™ CBD Topical Delivery Cream.

Finally, the architecture of the Hourglass™ delivery cream provides Grapefruit with the ability to formulate literally endless variations of its Hourglass™ topical cream. Grapefruit can load the cream with proprietary blends of CBD and other non-THC Cannabinoids we, or more importantly our customers, deem to be efficacious for a given application or desired result. Grapefruit is able to ‘fine-tune' or ‘customize' our cream blends to maximize our customer's overall CBD experience with Hourglass™.

Grapefruit is planning its first regional retail launch of Hourglass™ CBD products on a limited basis in the United States by the end of the first quarter of 2021 and to ramp up production and delivery of the product shortly thereafter.

Our patented Hemp-derived CBD-only Cannabinoid Delivery Cream is made with only the purest form of hemp-derived CBD Isolate with a purity rating exceeding 99%.
