VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / January 25, 2016 - Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. (“Naturally Splendid”) (FRANKFURT:50N) (TSX VENTURE:NSP) (OTC:NSPDF) is pleased to announce that it has received full payment for the initial $100,000 CDN Purchase Order from Laguna Blends.

As announced in an earlier news release, the first purchase order from Laguna Blends is for $100,000 CDN. This purchase order is the first installment of a definitive agreement with Laguna Blends to produce $1,600,000 CDN of Pro369, in the first year of the Agreement, and $4,500,000 CDN of Pro369 in the second year of the Agreement. A second Purchase Order of $250,000 CDN is anticipated in the second quarter of 2016.

Naturally Splendid CEO Craig Goodwin reports, “I would like to take this opportunity to clarify our agreement with Laguna Blends. There appears to be some confusion from the investment community as to the exclusive rights that Laguna was granted. Laguna does not have exclusive rights to our HempOmega™ technology. The exclusive rights that Naturally Splendid granted Laguna Blends pertains specifically to the four custom protein blends that Naturally Splendid formulated for Laguna Blends only, under the trade name Pro369. Having said that, we are most excited with the upcoming product launch of Laguna Blends.”

Dennis Compo, Laguna’s Executive Director of Marketing said, “Laguna has received overwhelming interest from leaders in the Network Marketing Industry for the past several months. In the 30 plus years I have been involved in Network marketing I personally have not seen the caliber of leaders ready to get involved in a Company at this early stage. Laguna offers the highest quality products, a very competitive compensation plan and strives to be an industry leader in innovation and technology.” Dennis went on to say, “Laguna is very close to launching its business opportunity and offer its products in the USA and Canada”.

"Stuart Kawasaki, President of Laguna Blends USA said, “Laguna is excited to offer its unique, single serving, hemp protein product, “Pro369”. Pro369 is a high quality, instant, water soluble protein product that can’t be compared to inferior products in the market place. Pro369 is a world class product that combines hemp protein, HempOmega® and Ginseng. Pro369 is in a league of its own and Laguna is expecting to bring it to the market soon.”

The Minister of Health has granted Laguna a product license along with a natural product number (“NPN”) for all four of the Pro369 flavours. They are all listed under the same NPN. Laguna’s, Pro369 hemp protein powder has been registered with Health Canada as a natural product, with the following approved health claims:

1. 1)A source of protein that helps build and repair body tissues;
2. 2)Source of amino acids involved in muscle protein synthesis;
3. 3)Assists in the building of lean muscle;
4. 4)An adaptogen to help maintain a healthy immune system; and
5. 5)Supportive therapy for the promotion of healthy glucose levels.
