Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD“) (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) (OTCQB: MVMDF) is pleased to announce that Mountain Valley MD Inc. (“Mountain Valley“) has finalized and entered into a commercial license agreement with Circadian Wellness Corp. (“Circadian“), a privately held Ontario corporation that is focused on the rapidly emerging global mushroom space.

The license agreement with Circadian is based on applying MVMD’s Quicksome™ technology to mushroom nutraceutical products in consideration of ongoing product royalties and an initial payment in the amount of $250,000 CAD, made up of $200,000 CAD cash and $50,000 CAD of equity shares in Circadian.  The initial payment monies will be applied to formulation, product development and sample development work and represents the Company’s first revenues.

MVMD has been working closely with Circadian on proprietary formulations for mushroom-infused products that achieved a significant increase in overall molecule efficacy with the Company’s Quicksome™ desiccated liposome technology applied across a variety of rapid dissolve oral products.  Circadian is finalizing its product plans and go-to-market strategy for a broad line of naturally derived mushroom products that will be distributed initially in North America and expanded globally in future phases.

“Embedding Mountain Valley MD’s Quicksome™ technology into our unique mushroom product formulations has allowed us to create a product line that we believe will be unmatched in its efficacy in the marketplace,” stated Dr. Sanjeev Goel, Chief Medical Officer at Circadian Wellness and founder of Peak Human Labs. “The initial consumer testing with our energy and sleep products has been very well received.  The precision of this delivery technology allows us to build the functional mushroom business out while simultaneously pursuing a leadership position in the rapidly emerging psychedelic space.”

Circadian is a privately held Ontario corporation in the business of mushroom cultivation, extraction, clinical research and development, and end-user consumer health and wellness products and retreats (www.circadianwellness.com).

“With our focus on providing our global nutraceutical, vaccine and pharmaceutical partners with unprecedented product and market advantages, we believe our partnership with Circadian Wellness is a perfect bullseye for our value proposition across the health and wellness space,” stated Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD.  “This inroad into the rapidly growing mushroom industry timed with the broadening analyst coverage of the numerous scientific benefits of mushrooms on human health are expected to be significant for our business plan at Mountain Valley MD.”

“Our ability to drive an increase in bioavailability across convenient and easy-to-use rapid dissolve oral delivery formats provides numerous product advantages that we believe will position Circadian Wellness products as the preeminent choice for consumers in the rapidly growing mushroom marketplace,” stated Mike Farber, Director of Life Sciences at Mountain Valley MD.

• Testing South African COVID-19 variant with the Company’s new solubilized Ivermectin technology.
• Mutation is now the most dominant form of the COVID-19 virus in South Africa

Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “MVMD”) (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) (OTCQB: MVMDF) is pleased to announce that it will be testing the new B.1.351 South African COVID-19 variant in its upcoming Bio Safety Level 4 (“BSL-4”) lab study, which is analyzing viral clearance efficacy with the Company’s new solubilized Ivermectin technology.

According to the World Health Organization*, the mutated B.1.351 COVID-19 variant is now the most dominant form of the COVID-19 virus in South Africa and is believed to be more infectious and thus easier to spread. As the COVID-19 virus continually mutates, researchers are assessing the impact of the current vaccines that are in distribution to understand if they may be rendered less effective or even noneffective**.

“We felt it was critical to look at this new South African COVID-19 variant given the immediate complexities we are seeing with the pace of vaccine rollout and the high probability that current vaccines will not be as effective, if at all, against these emerging mutations,” stated Dennis Hancock, President and CEO of Mountain Valley MD. “It is important to us across our broad human health objectives that our solubilized Ivermectin technology can be confidently applied as the broadest COVID-19 therapeutic and number one choice in the world when a vaccine falls short.”

The Company has previously communicated that it believes its solubilized Ivermectin would be suitable for a broad therapeutic across a wide range of viruses in the future, not just limited to COVID-19.

“It is not clear if the current vaccines will protect you from the new variants and early information is that vaccines are not as effective on the mutations. We are attempting in our work with the BSL-4 lab to target novel COVID-19 variants that would prove Ivermectin’s broad activity in interfering with the replication of the virus and thus broadly applies across multiple variants versus being specific to a variant the way a vaccine would be,” stated Mike Farber, Director of Life Sciences at MVMD.

As communicated in the Company’s news release on January 27, 2021, the BSL-4 trial will be the first of its kind ever conducted with human grade solubilized Ivermectin anywhere in the world and its design was led by the Company’s key scientific advisor, Dr. John Clements. Dr. Clements is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine and has over 35 years of experience in vaccine, immunology and infectious diseases research and development, with a distinguished scientific career focused on developing and evaluating vaccines for a wide range of infectious diseases globally.
