The Companys product candidates are AUGMENT and OvaTure. The Companys designs AUGMENT to treat infertility due to poor egg quality.

The Companys first product candidate is AUGMENT, stands for autologous germline mitochondria energy transfer. It designs AUGMENT to increase the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) by isolating fresh mitochondria from a woman's own egg precursor cells and then adding the mitochondria into the woman's egg during IVF. Its second product candidate is OvaTure. OvaTure involves the creation of mature fertilizable eggs from a woman's own egg precursor cells. If successful, this would allow women with compromised eggs due to age or other factors to undergo IVF using their own higher quality eggs.
