The product is also offered now on iHerb and Thrive Market, two of the leading online platforms for natural food products.

Else and its retail brokers are in discussions with dozens of additional large, small and independents natural food, grocery and drug retail chains, that together represent more than 5,000 doors.

Else onboarded and is shipping products to the two largest natural food distributors in North America – UNFI and KeHE Distributors, which together cover almost the entire retail market in the US. Jointly they have already opened 12 distribution centers for Else's retail customers. Else has also onboarded and shipped product to Imperial, a local distributor in the North East that serves Big-Y and many additional retailers in the area.

In May 2021 Else will launch a new product line – Plant-Based Complete Nutrition for Kids, 3 years and older. The product will be initially offered in vanilla and chocolate flavors, in 16 oz powder cans.
