    Natural Health Products (NHP) require and undergo rigorous review by Health Canada's Natural Health Product Directorate (NHPD) to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product. NeonMind's consumer products do not contain any psychoactive or restricted substances.

    "The approval from Health Canada allows us to market the proven benefits of our functional mushroom ingredients, differentiating the NeonMind brand as we introduce additional products across the U.S. and Canada. Our consumer products division allows NeonMind to further our reach into the massive functional food market. We continue to meet our strategic operational timelines while also supporting our research and development initiatives," said Rob Tessarolo, President and CEO of NeonMind.

    NeonMind's consumer products division includes four dietary supplements in the United States designed to support memory, cognitive function and relieve stress, four mushroom infused coffees in Canada and three additional functional mushroom formulas under NHP review with Health Canada.

    According to Data Bridge Market Research, the global Medicinal Mushroom market is expected to reach US$78.7 billion by 2025, from US$38.1 billion in 2017 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecasted period of 2018 to 2025.

    In addition to its consumer products division, NeonMind's pharmaceutical division is engaged in the research and development of drugs and treatments for obesity and obesity related diseases using psychedelic compounds.

    About NeonMind Biosciences Inc.

    NeonMind is engaged in preclinical research to develop potential clinical treatments and wellness products to address obesity and weight management conditions and to promote health and wellness. The Company operates three divisions: (i) a pharmaceutical division engaged in drug development of psychedelic compounds with two lead psilocybin-based drug candidates targeting obesity; (ii) a medical services division focused on launching specialty mental health clinics that integrate psychedelic therapeutics into traditional psychotherapy settings; and (iii) a consumer products division that currently sells mushroom-infused products to promote health and wellness.

    In its pharmaceutical division, NeonMind has two distinct psilocybin drug development programs targeting obesity. NeonMind's lead candidate, NEO-001, employs psilocybin as an agonist at the serotonin 5- HT2A receptor, which is involved in the hallucinogenic effect of psychedelics. The Company's second drug candidate, NEO-002, employs low-dose psilocybin as an agonist at the 5-HT2C receptor, which controls appetite.

    NeonMind established a medical services division with the goal of launching NeonMind-branded specialty mental health clinics in Canada that incorporate evidence-backed innovative treatments to address a variety of mental health needs.

    NeonMind's consumer division currently sells NeonMind-branded coffee products in the United States and Canada through NeonMind's direct to consumer e-commerce platform.
