Here at Strategic Acquisitions International,
We’re not just staying ahead of the future.
We’re aiming to create it.
A new age of infused product formulation is upon us. New discoveries in manufacturing methods and compound blending we believe will be the primary forces to paving the road to a better future for consumers around the world, driven by health brands focusing on the supplement, nutraceutical, and beverage markets.
This growing industry is rooted in the simple notion that these naturally occurring compounds will not only take the place of expensive, synthetic pharmaceutical drugs in some cases, but allow consumers and patients to take back control of their psychological and physical health.
Here at SAI, our intention is to acquire and grow cutting-edge companies whose primary objective is to combine the powerful effects of Hemp-derived compounds with the best, scientifically backed ingredients which consumers value in their alternative healthcare journey.
