  4. Introduction • INVO Bioscience went public via a reverse merger in December 2008. INVO began trading under the symbol IVOB in February 2009. • INVO is introducing a new device for Intra-vaginal culture to the infertility market. • This is a fertility treatment similar to In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) but simpler to perform and can be made more available to the infertile population worldwide reaching patients that cannot currently be treated by traditional IVF. • The procedure may be provided without an IVF center and therefore can be available in many more locations than IVF. INVO is well positioned to capture a significant share of the unmet market needs.

  5. Un-addressed Infertility • 150 million infertile couples worldwide (ESHRE 2007) • 1 million technological procedures that help infertile couples to conceive have been performed worldwide • Less than .5% are treated with and average of 2+ cycles per couple • Over 149 million infertile couples go untreated, this is the population INVO is targeting • Reasons for lack of treatment • Cost • Availability • Awareness

  6. INVO Bioscience Goal Reach the unmet needs of the Infertility population through providing • A unique new fertility treatment • A geographically available treatment • A less expensive treatment • A more natural treatment

  7. Market Strategy • INVO Bioscience is not competing with IVF • INVO allows IVF clinics to open low cost INVO centers to expand their geographical reach, increase their business and treat infertile couples who could not be treated before • Lower cost will allow patients to go directly to INVO vs. starting with IUI treatment ( low efficacy) • Offers a couple a more natural option to traditional IVF

  8. INVO Procedure • During the INVO procedure fertilization and embryo development occur inside the woman’s vaginal cavity in a disposable single use device which is called the INVOcell. (This device holds the eggs, sperm and culture medium) • In the INVO procedure either mild ovarian stimulation or no ovarian stimulation are used. Using a mild stimulation protocol, 1-10 oocytes are retrieved under light sedation. • The INVOcell is then placed in the patient’s vaginal cavity for an incubation period of 3 days. After 3 days, the patient returns to the physician’s office where the INVOcell is removed. • The protective outer vessel of the INVOcell is discarded and the inner vessel is placed in INVO Bioscience’s patented Holding Block in a vertical position for 15 minutes. The embryos can be directly viewed from the micro chamber in the holding block by using a microscope. • Then the two potential best embryos are selected and loaded directly from the device with a transfer catheter and inserted back into the women. INVO procedures may be done in a fertility specialists office or satellite/physician center
