OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertosa, a science-first cannabis company that creates the most effective and reliable active ingredients for infused products, today announced its agreement with State B Cannabis Beverage Co. by Brujera Elixirs Inc. ("State B"), a leading Canadian beverage brand committed to bringing wellness, relief and elevation to the new and evolving cannabis user. As State B's exclusive U.S. emulsion partner, Vertosa will help the brand develop proprietary formulations for its CBD and THC-infused beverages. The announcement comes shortly after State B launched three new SKUs -- Resolve, Sparkle and Zing -- in California using Vertosa's water-stable cannabis emulsions.

Customizable based on application, ingredients and desired effect, Vertosa provides State B with effective and great-tasting water-stable solutions designed to take effect within 15 minutes. Vertosa's GMP-certified and third-party tested emulsions are one of the most stable, compatible and versatile suites of products available on the market.

"We tasked Vertosa with helping us develop our new line of wellness beverages featuring functional ingredients that allow consumers to reach a specific state of mind, and the R&D team certainly rose to the occasion," said Kelly Ann Woods, founder and Chief Executive Officer of State B. "Vertosa offers an incredible bioavailable emulsion for our beverages that helps us create delicious and consistent cannabis experiences for our customers. We're proud to partner with a team whose commitment to science and the cannabis industry is unparalleled, and look forward to working together as we seek to expand our product offering."

"We're thrilled to partner with State B as their exclusive U.S. emulsion provider and bring reimagined cannabis-infused beverages to California," said Ben Larson, Chief Executive Officer of Vertosa. "State B has found a niche in the market where the Functional and Better-For-You categories meet. Following the height of the pandemic, demand for healthy and natural beverages is at an all time high and we look forward to working with State B to further develop this growing product category."

State B beverages are formulated with varying ratios of THC and CBD combined with unique blends of nootropics, adaptogenic herbs, botanical extracts and terpenes to create targeted experiences.
