NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Inergetics, Inc. (OTCBB: NRTI), a world-class developer of nutritional supplements, today announced that it will convene a meeting of its Scientific/Medical Advisory Board on November 20, 2014 in San Francisco/Oakland, California. The advisory board is responsible for guiding the formulation of the proprietary line of natural Cannabidiol (CBD)-based nutritional supplements that Inergetics is planning to bring to market next year. 

The meeting is being convened by Inergetics' Chief Science Officer, Carl Germano, RD, CNS, CDN, and will feature the five members of the advisory board: Dr. Justin Fischedick, Dr. Joseph McSherry, Dr. Michelle Sexton, Dr. Yu Shao and Dr. Mark Wallace.  Additional participants will include Inergetics CEO Mike James and CMO Jim Kras.

"As we enter the third and final phase of product development for our CBD line of nutritional supplements, we wanted to convene our Scientific/Medical Advisory Board for its final review of and recommendation on the product formulation prior to our beginning the manufacturing process," said Carl Germano.  "I look forward to a productive meeting as we continue to mark significant progress toward the market launch of our initial phytocannabinoid product in 2015."

During the meeting in California, the Inergetics team will be touring dispensaries and an extraction facility, as well as reviewing the branding, packaging and marketing of the product line. Inergetics previously announced that the initial product in the line will incorporate an important cannabinoid from a novel non-cannabis source.  The company expects that the inaugural product's unique combination of cannabinoids will enable it to deliver additional synergistic benefits in terms of overall efficacy and absorption.

"We are very excited to be entering the final stages of product development for our CBD line of nutritional supplements, beginning with our 'first to market' combination cannabinoid product," said Mike James, CEO of Inergetics. "We are confident that our proven expertise in creating, branding and marketing supplements will translate perfectly to our innovative CBD line of products, and that these products will appeal to consumers experiencing various pain-related ailments," James added.

Inergetics will be launching its new CBD product line in medical marijuana dispensaries in 2015.
