tax laws on an investment in our common stock. Table of Contents CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus includes statements that express our opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “would” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. They appear in a number of places throughout this prospectus, and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, future acquisitions and the industry in which we operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus, which include, but are not limited to, risks related to the following:

•        our ability to compete in our industry, including against competitors that have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do;

•        our ability to respond to customer preferences and successfully develop new and innovative products in a timely manner and effectively manage the introduction of new or enhanced products;

•        risks related to a loss of, or material cancellation, reduction, or delay in purchases by, one or more of our largest customers;

•        our outside suppliers and manufacturers failing to supply products in sufficient quantities and in a timely fashion;

•        our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives (including acquisitions);

•        our ability to maintain the reputation of our brands;

•        the risks related to consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by other companies in our industry;

•        the risks related to third parties asserting intellectual property infringement claims against us;

•        the risks related to our planned expansion into additional international markets;

•        the risks related to adverse economic conditions;

•        the risks related to catastrophic events;

•        our ability to retain key personnel, manage our business effectively, and continue to grow;

•        the impact of numerous laws and regulations that apply to the manufacture, sale, and manufacturing of nutritional supplements, and compliance with these laws and regulations, as they currently exist or as modified in the future, on us and our suppliers;

•        the risks related to product recalls;

•        the risks related to product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims; and

•        the other factors described in “Risk Factors.”

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read with the other cautionary statements in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments may differ materially from statements made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus. The matters summarized under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus could cause our actual results to differ significantly from those contained in our forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and industry developments are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

In light of these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or to publicly announce the results of any revision to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments, except as required by applicable law. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless specifically expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming a public offering price of $10.00 per share, the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our common stock in this offering will be $8.1 million (or $9.5 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $0.9 million (or $1.1 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), assuming the number of shares we sell, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. The principal reasons for this offering are to repay indebtedness, to raise capital for general corporate purposes, including working capital, and to facilitate the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

We do not have a specific plan for the use of all of the net proceeds of this offering; rather we intend to use the net proceeds (which will be approximately $8.1 million, or $9.5 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) to repay $2.7 million of outstanding amounts under promissory notes with Kenek Brands Inc., with the remaining amounts for general corporate purposes.

As of the date of this prospectus, there was approximately $2.8 million outstanding under promissory notes with Kenek Brands Inc. Such notes do not have a set interest rate or maturity date. The proceeds from the promissory notes were used for general corporate purposes. Jack Ross, our Chief Executive Officer, is the owner of Kenek Brands Inc. and its sole officer and director. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for more information.

As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on each allocation. As a result, our management will have broad discretion over how these proceeds are used.

Pending out use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK

As a result of amendments to Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11, because we do not presently make current information publicly available, our common stock was shifted from the OTC Markets Group, Inc. Pink tier to the OTC Expert Market on September 28, 2021, which means that there are no longer publicly-available quotations of our common stock. Prior to September 28, 2021, shares of our common stock were quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “SNYR.” Although our shares were quoted on the OTC Pink from July 2020 to September 2021, because trading on the OTC Pink was infrequent and limited in volume, the prices at which such transactions occurred may not necessarily reflect the price that would be paid for our common stock in a more liquid market. From April 2014 to July 2020, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. OTCQB under the symbol “SNYR.” As of October 15, 2024, there were approximately 37 record holders of our common stock.

We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SNYR.” However, we cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this offering. You may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our common stock is not active. See “Underwriting” for more information regarding our arrangements with the underwriters and the factors considered in setting the public offering price.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Since our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings, if any, will be retained for use in the development and operation of our business. In the future, our Board may decide, at its discretion, whether dividends may be declared and paid to holders of our common stock.
