VELDONA® Pet Shiny and VELDONA® Pet Slim bolster Ainos' existing line of VELDONA® Pet health supplements, which also includes VELDONA® Pet Lohas for emotional wellbeing, VELDONA® Pet Soothing for relieving discomfort caused by allergies, and VELDONA® Pet Cytoprotein supplement for maintaining immunity, oral care, and gum and skin health. All VELDONA® Pet products were initially launched in Taiwan, with plans in place to begin marketing them across the globe in the near future.

VELDONA® Pet Shiny provides relief for eye discomfort and supports the body's recovery from conditions such as keratitis and ocular herpes infections. A study conducted by Colorado State University indicated that interferon could reduce discomfort from eye infections and promotes healing conditions such as keratitis and eye herpes. VELDONA® Pet Shiny provides eye protection without the potential drawbacks of traditional treatment methods.

VELDONA® Pet Slim can help manage body weight and address metabolic imbalances arising from excess body weight. Studies have demonstrated that interferon can inhibit diet-induced obesity and cellular inflammation associated with obesity. Supplementing with interferon shows promise in managing body weight and addressing metabolic imbalances resulting from excess body weight.

Chun-Hsien Tsai, Ainos' Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The unveiling of our newest VELDONA® Pet supplements showcases the substantial progress we have made in transforming our business. In a few short months, we have shifted from marketing COVID-19 test kits to establishing the foundation we need to become a truly diversified and influential healthcare solutions provider. These latest VELDONA® Pet products are the next step in our evolution, but certainly aren't the last."

"As we expand our portfolio and market our products in regions across the globe, we draw closer to our target of reaching US$20 million in VELDONA® Pet supplement sales in 2024," Mr. Tsai added. "Our ultimate goal is to bring VELDONA Pet to the U.S., where total pet expenditures exceeded $137 billion in 2022. The work we've put in through years of research and development is bearing fruit, and we expect the second half of 2023 will be an integral and exciting time for our company. I believe Ainos is well-positioned for the next chapter of our story."

About VELDONA® Pet

Based on Ainos' low-dose oral interferon-alpha ("IFNα") formulation, VELDONA® Pet cytoprotein supplements are backed by numerous research studies and clinical trials, and are manufactured with world-class materials in a highly certified food-grade plant. VELDONA® maintains immunity and contributes to gum and skin health, relieving allergies and reducing stress in cats and dogs. Interferon, a type of cytoprotein, is naturally produced by human and animals. When cells are invaded by foreign particles, immune signaling molecules notify neighboring cells. Once neighboring cells receive the interferon's protein signal through their surface receptors, they initiate and modulate the immune system to protect felines and canines from gum and skin diseases, allergies, stress-related conditions, eye discomfort from infections, and weight imbalance caused by metabolic dysfunction.

A clinical study, sponsored by Ainos and conducted by the Agricultural Technology Research Institute in Taiwan, has demonstrated that VELDONA® helps maintain the immune systems of cats and dogs. Numerous studies have reported the benefits of interferons in maintaining gum health and skin health, relieving discomfort caused by allergies and eye infections, soothing emotional stress, and balancing weight from metabolic disorder in cats and dogs. VELDONA® Pet's mission is to maintain immunity for millions of pets with the highest-quality products.
