Todos Medical, Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and related solutions company, today announced that the US Food & Drug Administration granted the Company a new Certificate of Free Sale for a second dosing regimen for Tollovid™ as a dietary supplement. Under the new Certificate of Free Sale, the Company is authorized to market Tollovid with a dosing regimen of 60 pills over a five-day period, equivalent to 12 pills per day. Tollovid, a potent 3CL protease inhibitor botanical product, is a dietary supplement that helps to support and maintain healthy immune function. The 3CL protease is an important part of certain coronavirus’ reproductive mechanism, and inhibiting this protease may help to support and maintain healthy immune function in the face of circulating coronaviruses. The Company sees this dosing regimen for Tollovid as optimal for supporting healthy immune function.
“We were very pleased with the speed with which this dosing regimen for Tollovid was granted a new Certificate of Free by the US FDA,” said Gerald E. Commissiong, President & CEO of Todos Medical. “After a successful initial launch at The Alchemist’s Kitchen in New York City, where we gained significant feedback from customers on what worked best for them with Tollovid, we developed an upgraded dosing regimen based on the first-hand experience of customers that had a successful experience with the product. With that critical information and this new Certificate of Free Sale in hand, we are now preparing to launch Todos Medical’s branded Tollovid product into the US market via a soon to be launched website www.MyTollovid.com in a direct-to-consumer model with overnight shipping. We also intend to explore opportunities to distribute Tollovid in other areas of the world that are eagerly seeking new products that can potentially inhibit 3CL protease, and are in active discussions with distributors to bring this product forward in those markets.”
The Company intends to utilize a portion of the proceeds from a recently completed $3.3 million fixed price crossover investment with Yozma Group, a venture capital firm from South Korea, to help with the Tollovid launch. With Yozma’s recent investment, Todos has raised $9.7 million in this crossover round since January 2021. In addition to the Tollovid launch, the Company is utilizing the proceeds from these investments to retire certain outstanding debts, further advance the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of the Company’s oral 3CL protease targeting drug candidate Tollovir™ for hospitalized COVID-19 patients, the completion of initial clinical studies for the Company’s 3CL protease targeting COVID-19 diagnostic assay Tollotest™ and general corporate purposes.

About Todos Medical Ltd.
Founded in Rehovot, Israel with offices in New York City, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. The Company’s state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that deploys deep examination into cancer’s influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos’ two internally-developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2, have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos recently acquired U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab currently performing PCR COVID testing and Provista’s proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test.
Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer’s disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain.
Todos has entered into distribution agreements with companies to distribute certain novel coronavirus (COVID-19) test kits. The agreements cover multiple international suppliers of PCR testing kits and related materials and supplies, as well as antibody testing kits from multiple manufacturers after completing validation of said testing kits and supplies in its partner CLIA/CAP certified laboratory in the United States. Todos has formed a strategic partnership with Integrated Health LLC to deploy mobile COVID-19 testing in the United States. Additionally, Todos has entered into a joint venture with NLC Pharma to pursue the development of diagnostic tests targeting the 3CL protease, as well as 3CL protease inhibitors that target the reproductive mechanism of coronaviruses.
