 product formulations and manufacturing
processes. The Company has six documented trade secrets that include, but are not limited to, unique ingredient compositions, specialized
blending and production techniques, quality control procedures, and process efficiencies that have been developed and refined through
years of internal research and development. These proprietary methods are central to the performance, stability, and scalability of the
products currently commercialized by the Company. To safeguard this intellectual property, the Company maintains strict internal controls,
including non-disclosure agreements, restricted access protocols, and employee confidentiality and invention assignment agreements. Although
trade secrets do not offer the same legal protections as patents, the Company believes that its robust internal policies and the technical
complexity of its formulations and processes provide significant competitive advantage and barriers to entry.

We
will seek to protect our products and technologies through a combination of patents, regulatory exclusivity, and proprietary know-how.
Our goal is to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for our products, formulations, processes, methods, and other proprietary
technologies, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of other parties, both in the United
States and in other countries. Our policy is to actively seek to obtain, where appropriate, the broadest intellectual property protection
possible for our current compounds and any future compounds developed. We also strenuously protect our proprietary information and proprietary
technology through a combination of contractual arrangements, trade secrets, and patents, both in the United States and abroad. However,
even patent protection may not always afford us with complete protection against competitors who seek to circumvent our patents.

We
depend upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, including those of our company, as well
as that of our advisors, consultants, and other contractors, none of which is patentable. To help protect our proprietary know-how, which
may not be patentable, and inventions for which patents may be difficult to obtain or enforce, we rely on trade secret protection and
confidentiality agreements to protect our interests. To this end, we generally require all of our employees, consultants, advisors, and
other contractors to enter into confidentiality agreements that prohibit disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable,
require disclosure and assignment of ownership to us the ideas, developments, discoveries, and inventions important to our business.

Finally,
we rely on a combination of registered and unregistered intellectual property to protect our brand and products. As of the date of this
filing, we own two United States federally
