HISTORY OF TECHNICAL FABRICS

•  Gore-Tex (1978) – First waterproof/breathable fabric. Works by allowing water vapors to exit through tiny holes that are too small for water droplets to get back in.

•  Compression (1983) – Decreases muscle vibrations to reduce fatigue.

•  Coolmax (1986) – Wicking capabilities and better breathability than natural fibers.

•  Antimicrobial (2004) – Technique from early 20th century is now becoming popular in consumer products. Uses Trevira Bioactive (silver ions attach to bacteria to destroy them).

None of these performance fibers are responsive textiles.

Responsive textiles are textiles that interact with the environment.

CELLIANT - THE WORLD’S FIRST RESPONSIVE TEXTILE

Celliant is a revolutionary technology that harnesses the body’s natural energy through the use of minerals and fibers. The result is enhanced tissue oxygen levels which helps reduce pain, improves circulation, aids in muscle recovery and helps to balance body temperature.

! Polyester based; can be integrated into any textile ! Versatile for a wide range of products ! Efficacy proven through five clinical studies

Hologenix, the maker of Celliant fiber is the only company to have performed U.S. based clinical studies proving the efficacy of its product.

WHAT ABOUT THE BODY? - SCIENCE OF LIGHT

With almost 7 billion people on Earth, the most abundant energy source is the human body.

! Thermographic cameras show infrared emissions.

!  Certain minerals are photocatalysts which means that they are “optically responsive” absorbing light at the surface, redirecting it, and sending it back to the body.

! These minerals can be infused into fibers.

Page 19: Celliant Overview 2011

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

The human body emits photons ranging from 200-850nm1 which includes light in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths.

In order to be visible to the human eye without additional equipment there would need to be between 100 and 1,000,000 more photons per square centimeter.

EXAMPLES OF LIGHT RAYS

Microwaves (1mm to 1m wavelengths) are not just used to cook food. They are actually much more useful in communication where they transmit information for long distance telephone, internet, radar and GPS.

Radio waves (1m to 100m wavelengths) send analog sounds at set frequencies. They are also used in medicine and astronomy.

X-Rays (.01 to 10nm wavelengths) are high energy light beams that pass through the body. Because bones are made of larger atoms than soft tissue, we are able to record their absorption with an x-ray camera.

What is the connection? All forms pass through solid objects while remaining effective.

SCIENCE OF LIGHT - EARLY HISTORY

Light therapy or photobiology has been used for centuries

•  Light therapy dates back to early civilization when the Ancient Greeks first recognized that exposure to sun light could have health benefits.

Solar energy is any radiant light or heat energy emitted by the sun "

•  Energy from the sun is proven to be beneficial. •  It is the bodies main source of Vitamin D which plays an essential role in many major organ systems. •  Increases the flow of calcium into the bloodstream.

Page 22: Celliant Overview 2011

R

SCIENCE OF LIGHT - 20TH CENTURY USE

Other forms of light are also proven to benefit the body. "

"! Infants with neonatal jaundice have been prescribed treatments of blue light since the 1930s.

*Both of these processes are FDA approved.

! In the 1960’s red light was proven to increase production of new collagen which makes healthier looking skin. Red light pens are now commonly sold as an anti-wrinkle therapy.

Nobel Prize

!  Niels Finsen won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1903 for his studies on using light therapy to treat tuberculosis and small pox.

"! In 1999 NASA proved that light can be used to stimulate cell growth and speed wound healing.

CELLIANT MINERALS

•  Although the formula for Celliant is a trade secret, the following three minerals are used in our technology:

Titanium Dioxide – Absorbs available energy.

Silicon Dioxide (Silica) – Acts as a reflector of energy and as an anti-microbial.

Aluminum Oxide (Alumina) – Enhances strength of reflectivity.

Page 24: Celliant Overview 2011

R

•  These minerals are ground down to into a powder finer than one micron.

FROM MINERALS TO FIBER

•  This powder is added to a liquid polyester resin which creates chips called Celliant Master Batch.

•  The Celliant Master Batch is extruded into staple fiber (right) which is baled and sent to a spinning facility where it is made into yarn.

HOW DOES CELLIANT WORK?

1. Celliant fibers are created from natural minerals and embedded into polyester fibers.

2. Celliant fibers absorb energy from the body.

3. Celliant converts the energy into a usable form.

4. Celliant recycles this energy back to the body.

5. This recycled energy triggers natural chemical reactions in the body.

6. These reactions result in increased blood flow and oxygenation to the tissue.

WHAT RESEARCHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CELLIANT

“It’s important to note that properly controlled clinical trials have shown a positive effect from wearing clothing enhanced with Celliant®. Frankly, as a skeptic, I was surprised at the results and am excited to conduct additional trials.” ! Dr. Ian Gordon, MD, PhD Director of the University of California Wound Clinic, Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of California, Irvine and Chief of the Vascular Surgery Section at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System

“There are a number of benefits that will come out of wearing this product. In the athlete, it will increase oxygen metabolism rates, therefore enhancing performance. It will also aid recovery of people that don’t exercise very often. Most often you exercise and become stiff. This will help to eliminate the stiffness. In the diabetic population, it will increase oxygen at the surface or oxygen to wounds and eventually the wounds will heel on a quicker basis.” ! Dr. Graham McClue, PhD Research Director, Hyperbaric Treatment & Training Center, Houston, Texas

“This study shows a significant increase in blood flow in the skin. This improvement might be enough to take patients from being symptomatic to asymptomatic, which for patients that are taking 10 or 15 drugs, to be able to wear a garment with no negative side effects is a tremendous advantage.” ! Dr. Lawrence A. Lavery, DPM, MPH Associate Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center & Hines Veterans Administration Hospital, Chicago, Illinois

“The first two participants reported a subjective improvement of their sleep with the use of the active garment mattress cover… In addition, objective sleep recordings in both subjects showed improved sleep efficiency (more sleep while in bed), a decreased wake after sleep onset time (less total night time awake after initial sleep onset), and an overall reduced number of nocturnal awakenings” ! Dr. Marcel Hungs, MD, PhD Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Neurology, University of California, Irvine Director, Center for Sleep Medicine

WHAT CONSUMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CELLIANT

"I was having a lot of sleeping problems due to breaking my back in a motocross accident about 5 years ago. A friend suggested I try a mattress pad with Celliant®. Ever since, I almost sleep too well. I am a firm believer in this product and recommend it to everyone!" ! Donny Emler Jr. aka “LIL D”, FMF Racing

“I have been a type II diabetic for 15 years and recently neuropathy has been affecting my legs and feet. I tried a number of different support hose and have not been satisfied with their performance. In many cases they restricted the blood flow and ended up increasing the pain. Your socks have been fantastic. I seem to get the support that I need without the restrictions. They not only help with the numbness but provide the support that I need to assist me in walking." ! Frank S. Chase, Nashua, New Hampshire “ During the 2005 Toronto Marathon, I wore Celliant® running socks and had zero problems with my feet... As it happened, I ended up seeing my doctor a few days later for my annual physical. He was amazed that my feet didn't show any signs of blistering, swelling, bruising etc.” ! Andrew Wells, Real Estate Broker and Marathon Runner, Toronto, Canada

“In "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," I play the most powerful machine yet, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Powerful machines may be impervious to pain, but people aren't, so I wore Celliant® socks throughout a difficult and grueling shooting schedule, and it helped me recover quickly from exertion.” ! Kristanna Loken, Actress
