1 Tiny Particles with Huge Possibility

2 Serendipitous Discovery
Discovered at the University of Guelph in the lab of Professor John Dutcher In 2008 Dr. Anton Korenevski discovered that the true native form of glycogen in sweet corn is a monodisperse nanomaterial Chief Scientist Dr. Anton Korenevski

3 Phytoglycogen Nanoparticles
Uniform size the world’s only natural, monodisperse nanomaterial Biodegradable & edible Water soluble Easy to produce No other material has these properties!

4 Introducing PhytoSpherix™
The world’s only Monodisperse, Natural Nano-Glycogen Safe & Natural Monodisperse Non-toxic Unique marketing appeal The main reason our material has such unique properties PhytoSpherixTM “Safe & Natural?” Last year, ~300,000 tons of PhytoSpherix™ were eaten – now that’s a big experiment! Confidential Property of Mirexus Biotechnologies Inc

5 Confidential Property of Mirexus Biotechnologies Inc
3 Huge Markets Safe & Natural: Skin Creams Skin Health Anti-ageing Cosmetics Pharmaceuticals Food & Nutrition Drug Delivery New Antibiotics Immunomodulation Stabilize Vitamins Enhance Bioavailability Sports Drinks Confidential Property of Mirexus Biotechnologies Inc

6 PhytoSpherix™: Skin Moisturizer
PhytoSpherix™ retains moisture longer than the current best moisturizing agents 2016 New Product Launches using PhytoSpherix™: Canada Germany Korea USA Gives a smooth, velvety feel to formulations Confidential Property of Mirexus Biotechnologies Inc

7 NanoGlys™ - New Disease Therapies
Inject / drink solution of particles Particles concentrate in diseased cells Attach drug to particle Drug kills diseased cells Particles release drug Healthy body consumes the nanoparticle

8 Better than an apple… in a marathon!
Launching Q2 2016 Serving the food, nutraceutical, and animal health industries Lycopene Susttain™ Stabilizes natural food colours, flavours, vitamins…. Solubilizies natural actives Enhanced glycogen replacement for athletes Fast energy, no sugar “crash” Curcumin Better than an apple… in a marathon!

9 Professor John Dutcher
“For decades, scientists have been trying to make safe, cost-effective nanomaterials. But nature had already solved that problem, and the answer was sitting on our dinner plates!   Inside the kernels of sweet corn is a safe, non-toxic, edible, monodisperse nanomaterial. The possibilities are endless.” Professor John Dutcher
