23-06-2025

Partnership supports near-term launch of new longevity supplement line powered by clinical science and performance-driven innovation

Jupiter, Florida, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: JUNS) today announced that Annika Sörenstam, the most accomplished female professional golfer in history, has joined the Company as the first official brand ambassador for Nugevia, Jupiter Neurosciences’ new consumer longevity supplement line.

Annika, who has amassed over 95 international tournament victories—including 72 LPGA titles and 10 major championships—will collaborate with the Company to champion Nugevia’s science-backed formulations designed for performance, focus, and cellular vitality.

“Annika embodies everything Nugevia stands for—longevity, clarity, and peak performance supported by real science,” said Christer Rosén, Chairman and CEO of Jupiter Neurosciences. “As someone who has remained competitive well beyond her touring years, Annika is a powerful advocate for our mission to support healthy aging and optimal function at any stage of life.”

Hall of Fame golfer, Annika stated, “My first thought when I was asked to collaborate on the development and marketing of was “show me the science!” I have a strong interest in living a healthy, active lifestyle, and as a professional athlete, when I use a product, I want to know that there is strong science behind it. I found this to be the case with Nugevia.”

Nugevia is built on JOTROL, Jupiter’s patented resveratrol-based micellar delivery platform that has demonstrated significantly enhanced bioavailability and underpins the Company’s clinical-stage CNS therapies. The three debut formulations—GLO, MND, and PWR—are designed to support cellular resilience through intelligent stacking of synergistic ingredients, all enhanced for optimal absorption via the JOTROL system.

Annika added, “After spending over 40 years under the sun as a professional golfer, I’ve learned how critical it is to protect and nourish my skin. Nugevia GLO helps support that by promoting cellular defense and skin vitality from the inside out. In golf, business, and especially motherhood, mental clarity and focus are everything—but staying sharp doesn’t get easier with age. Nugevia MND supports cognitive resilience so I can stay mentally on top of my game, no matter what the day brings. And when I’m competing or staying active, muscle recovery and energy matter more than ever. Nugevia PWR helps replenish mitochondrial function, which is key for sustained strength and performance—especially when I’m up against the younger generation. At the end of the day, we all want to look younger, stay sharper, and feel stronger. Nugevia offers science-backed solutions that help you do just that—in golf and in life.”

The Nugevia brand reflects Jupiter’s dual-path strategy—advancing clinically validated therapeutics while tapping into the rapidly growing longevity market, projected to reach $8 trillion by 2030. This consumer-facing arm is expected to create a revenue stream that supports ongoing clinical development, corporate operating costs and enhances long-term shareholder value.

More information may be found on the Company’s website www.jupiterneurosciences.com.

About JOTROL

Resveratrol is one of the world’s most extensively researched molecules. Thorough evaluation has shown that for the compound to be effective, it requires a high C-Max (~300 ng/ml of resveratrol in plasma), achievable only with doses exceeding 3 grams using earlier resveratrol products. Poor bioavailability has been a well-documented issue with resveratrol. Doses over 2 grams have been associated with severe gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, which have prevented the compound from receiving regulatory approval for any indication.

Jupiter Neurosciences (JUNS) conducted a Phase I study demonstrating that JOTROL achieves over nine times higher bioavailability compared to resveratrol used in earlier clinical trials (e.g., Turner et al., MCI/Early Alzheimer’s Disease trial, and Yui et al., Friedreich’s Ataxia trial). The results of this Phase I study, which will be cross-referenced in all upcoming JOTROL trials, were published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and AAPS Open in February 2022. JUNS is now advancing JOTROL toward a Phase IIa trial in Parkinson’s Disease.

In addition to its therapeutic applications, JOTROL serves as the foundation for Jupiter’s Nugevia consumer supplement line. By leveraging the same clinically validated delivery technology, Nugevia introduces pharmaceutical-grade bioavailability into the wellness space, offering targeted support for cognitive health, skin vitality, and cellular energy.
