Laguna, a network marketing company that generates retail sales through independent affiliates, is focused on the nutritional health benefits derived from hemp, long recognized by the health and nutritional industry as a super food.

Caffe is manufactured under contract with PNP Pharmaceuticals, at its newly constructed 75,000 square foot, Health Canada Licensed facility, in Burnaby, British Columbia. Founded in 1999, PNP is a leading Canadian contract manufacturer of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.

Stuart Gray, President & CEO stated: "Laguna has worked diligently for the past 21 months by establishing a world class team of executives and business advisors, developing quality hemp beverage products, and providing innovative technology to affiliates that is a game changer in the multi-level marketing industry."

Following water, coffee is the beverage reportedly consumed by the largest proportion of adults, who consume on average 3.2 cups of coffee per day. A 2013 Canadian Coffee Drinking Study showed that approximately two-thirds of adult Canadians, between 18 and 79 years of age, consumed coffee in the past-day, with about three-quarters indicating they've consumed coffee in the past week.

Starbucks is the only company that is a major player with a protein coffee beverage, with a ready to serve cold protein coffee in a can, unlike Laguna's instant just add hot water protein coffee.

Dennis Compo, Executive Director of Marketing, added: "Laguna has been contracted by top MLM and affiliate marketing professionals for the past six months. In the 30 years I have been in the MLM industry, I have not seen this caliber of industry leaders join an MLM company at this early stage."

The company is also bringing "Pro369" to market, which is a single serving, "on-the-go" drink containing hemp protein, natural flavours, stevia, and American ginseng, and is a source of Omegas 3, 6 and 9. Pro369 is water soluble and can be mixed in water, almond, coconut or regular milk, or blended in a shake or smoothie. Its initial four flavours, chocolate banana, mixed berry, vanilla caramel, and tropical powder have a product license and Natural Product Number from the Minister of Health from Health Canada.

The shares are trading at $0.22, and with 19.2 million shares outstanding, the company is capitalized at $4.2 million.
