SOUTH EASTON, Mass., Jan. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBIO” or the “Company”), a pioneer in the development and distribution of broadly enabling pressure-based instruments, consumables, and specialty process development and testing services across global industries, including nutraceuticals, food and beverage, health and wellness, cosmetics, and more, announced today the receipt of an Open Order Agreement for the purchase in 2024 of a minimum of 10,000 bottles (over $300,000) of the Company’s Nano-CBD Topical Spray, with an initial product shipment in the coming weeks, from the Company’s west coast manufacturing partner. Subsequent shipments will follow quickly thereafter.  

VICAR Holdings, LLC (“VICAR”), the purchaser of this revolutionary Nano-CBD Topical Spray, has recently formed with a central health and wellness mission, focused on the on-line sale of only the highest quality and performance products, featured in a premium “PrescriptionGrade” product line. The company’s website and online store are currently under construction, with the initial PrescriptionGrade products slated for Beta testing in March 2024, and fully launching into sales in Q2 2024. VICAR has proudly announced PBIO’s Nano-CBD Topical Spray will be the first product available through their on-line store. The product will be sold as PrescriptionGrade Nano-CBD.

Manufactured using PBIO’s patented UltraShear™ technology (UltraShear™ or UST™), PrescriptionGrade Nano-CBD is a revolutionary high-performance product providing ultrafast speed of action and unprecedented effectiveness, in a preservative-free, “green/clean” labeled, sterile-filtered and vialed, all plant-based, highly stable topical product design. It is expected to quickly become the compelling natural choice for today’s health and environmentally conscious consumers.

John Hollister, PBIO’s Director of Marketing and Sales, added: “It’s great to come into a New Year with strong momentum. On the heels of our highly strategic Uncle Bud’s announcements over the past week, we see the contract with VICAR Holdings as a clear indication of the great things to come in 2024. Each of these contracts will expand the consumer experience pool, which will help spread the word about the quality and effectiveness of UltraShear-processed CBD. Based on the results in a recent peer-reviewed scientific journal article by Professor ElSohly (University of Mississippi), an acknowledged global natural products expert, we know that PrescriptionGrade Nano-CBD is positioned to become recognized as a top-performing CBD product worldwide – and VICAR customers will soon know this as well.”

Vince Caruso, Managing Member of VICAR Holdings, LLC, said: “Our innovative solution employs PBIO’s revolutionary UltraShear platform, which has been designed to optimize the speed of delivery and absorption of CBD and other oil-soluble nutraceuticals. Through meticulous craftmanship and cutting-edge technology, we elevate our products to “PrescriptionGrade™” standards, ensuring only the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.

VICAR also has exclusive access to multiple billboards in Manhattan as well as thousands of media outlets throughout the U.S. and the world. Their online store will sell only the best of the best in health and wellness products.
