BioHarvest Sciences Inc. Announces Clinical Study in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis-Related Optic Neuritis BioHarvest Sciences Inc. announced a collaboration with the International Neurorehabilitation Institute (INI) in Lutherville, Maryland to perform a clinical trial to assess the capacity of its RGC composition to promote eye health. The study will be led by Dr. Daniel Becker, Director of the INI and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. RGC is a patented composition based on BioHarvest's Botanical-Synthesis technology, with consistency and quality that have potential to meet the criteria for being used as an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). The planned translational open-label clinical study will evaluate the impact of RGC on multiple sclerosis (MS)-related optic neuritis driven by inflammation. The study - the latest of several human clinical trials run by BioHarvest - aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which RGC impacts the disease by measuring anti-oxidative, detoxifying, and inflammatory biomarkers. The research team hypothesizes that RGC will result in positive changes to eye health by modulating a variety of biomarkers compared to baseline in the study participants. The next important step for this study is submission to an Institutional Review Board (IRB) to be followed by the study launch with 15-30 participants. The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation estimates more than 1 million people in the United States and about 2.5 million people worldwide have been diagnosed with MS, and some 200 new cases are diagnosed weekly in the US alone. While the root causes of MS are still unknown, there are definite links between genetic and select environmental factors. Aankondiging • Jan 18

This structure protects the trichomes from the shear forces and guarantees much-needed mechanical stability during the growth process. The trichomes grow on the surface of the Cannabis flower or leaf and have a shape of a tiny mushroom with glandular heads. They are individually and mechanically attached to the surface through a fragile stalk. BioHarvest is the first company in the world to successfully and naturally grow trichomes together, forming a coral-shaped structure that protects them from the shear forces applied by the fluid motion inside the bioreactors. This structure guarantees the much-needed mechanical stability during the growth process within the bioreactor. We call this uniquely shaped structure "Amalgamated Trichomes Coral Structure" (ATCS), and it allows the Company to quickly scale up Cannabis production in advance of wide scale commercialization in H1 2022.

BioHarvest Sciences Inc. Reveals Vinia Anti-Aging Capabilities Via Blood Flow Improvement BioHarvest Sciences Inc. announces that its VINIA® product is the only dietary supplement available in the US market which has the capability for both reducing the endothelin 1 (ET1) enzyme as well as increasing the nitric oxide (NO) molecules, in order to increase the dilation of arteries and thereby improve blood flow. The presence of ET1 constricts the blood vessel, whereas the presence of NO dilates it. As a result of its double-action effect proven by the Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD) measurements in a double-blinded Placebo-controlled clinical trial and in an in-vitro study whose results were both published), VINIA® is uniquely positioned to combat the aging process caused by a reduction in blood flow. VINIA® act as an important anti-aging supplement, in addition to its other metabolic benefits. Improvement of blood and oxygen supply benefits all of the body's organs and tissues and contributes to overall health and wellness. Reported Earnings • Jun 02

Bioharvest Sciences Inc. Unveils Unique Polyphenolic Content of Its Upcoming Olive Based Nutraceutical BioHarvest Sciences Inc. reached an important milestone in its development program of additional Nutraceuticals. The olive based Nutraceutical product scheduled for market availability in the second half of 2022 will contain the following unique matrix of polyphenols: hydroxytyrosol, trosol, and verbascoside. These compounds are the major polyphenols in naturally grown olives and are responsible for the high antioxidant activity of olives and olive oil. Importantly, the BioHarvest olive based Nutraceutical product will provide all the benefits of olives and olive oil with a low calorie count per serving. The polyphenols in olives have demonstrated the ability to protect LDL particles from oxidative damage and to maintain normal blood HDL-cholesterol concentrations, required to maintain normal hemostatic function. These polyphenols have also demonstrated positive effects on learning and reducing memory deficits found in ageing (such as those related to the overproduction of amyloid-beta peptide). In addition, they can impact gut microbial balance by promoting growth of bacteria, influencing lipid metabolism and inhibition of pathogenic bacteria, as well as increase bone density. BioHarvest's olive cells based product will contain verbascoside, which is an ingredient with potent activity from the olive tree. This is a major differentiator of product as most olive extracts are based only on hydroxytyrosol, typical of the inedible vegetation waters from the tree and of aged extra-virgin olive oils.

Bioharvest Sciences Inc. Announces Partnership with Boldt and Summit Strategy Group to Develop A Sustainability Framework and Esg Report BioHarvest Sciences Inc. announced that it has entered into a partnership with BOLDT AG and Summit Strategy Group LLC, to develop BioHarvest's global sustainability strategy and ESG reporting framework. Both firms have deep experience working with purpose-driven companies in building long-term societal impact coupled with business value. BioHarvest's sustainable BioFarming technology enables the Company to grow plant cells at industrial scale in liquid bioreactors in order to produce the health benefits of specific plants without having to grow the entire plant. In the case of producing cannabinoids, the technology is estimated to use less than 5% of the land required for conventional cannabis farming allowing for significantly reduced energy, water use and emissions. In addition, in the case of its Superfruit Nutraceutical business, one BioHarvest patented bioreactor produces the equivalent amount of piceid resveratrol that 471 acres (190.6 hectares) of land would require using conventional methods. The project with BOLDT and Summit Strategy Group will document the sustainability credentials of the technology, develop goals for continuous improvement and result in a comprehensive Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) report.

BioHarvest Sciences Inc. Announces a Major Breakthrough in the Growth of Cannabis TRICHOMES across Multiple Strains in Liquid Media BioHarvest Sciences Inc. announced that it is now able to consistently grow Trichomes from multiple cannabis plant strains, in liquid media. Furthermore, BioHarvest is the world's first and only Company to successfully develop the proprietary knowledge required to control the production of cannabis cells in liquid media, and has now developed the unique know-how to optimize the growth performance of these cannabis Trichomes in a predictable and highly efficient manner. Cannabis Trichomes are the "natural factories" that produce the hundreds of distinct cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids in the cannabis plant, and their complex structure creates a major challenge for growing them in liquid media. To date, no other company or academic group has publicly claimed to have successfully grown cannabis Trichomes in liquid media, in such a predictable and highly efficient manner. This optimization of the Trichome's growth is a key condition and major enabler for the consistent, cost efficient and sustainable production of plant-cell based cannabis and cannabinoids. BioHarvest has achieved this ground-breaking milestone by leveraging its patented BioFarming technology, independent of any specific cannabis strain genetics. The plant based BioFarming technology produces cannabis cells in a process that is controlled, consistent, aseptic, non-GMO, pesticide-free and chemical-free. Aankondiging • Feb 03
