EWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 18, 2017 -- Modere, the first social retailer to create a safe and forward-thinking approach to overall wellness, today announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Jusuru International, Inc. ("Jusuru"), the company behind Liquid BioCell™, a new generation of nutraceuticals for healthy aging, active joints and younger-looking skin that has been backed by multiple clinical studies and seven U.S. and international patents. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Modere offers a category-leading portfolio of live clean lifestyle essential consumer products.
