Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. (“Guardion” or the “Company”)
(Nasdaq: GHSI), an ocular health sciences and technologies company
that develops, formulates and distributes condition-specific
medical foods and testing technologies supported by evidence-based

European Union (European Patent No. 2,811,892 titled “Apparatus for
Use in the Measurement of Macular Pigment Optical Density and/or

block in our efforts to build an international portfolio of unique
ocular products based on Guardion’s proprietary technologies, and
will strengthen our position as we consider additional business
opportunities throughout Europe.”

trademark registration from the People’s Republic of China for its
proprietary medical food product Lumega-Z® and its medical device
the MapcatSF®.
