Restart Life Announces Food Technology and Research Studies

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2025) - Restart Life Sciences Corp. (CSE: HEAL) (FSE: HN30) (OTC Pink: NMLSF) ("Restart Life" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update regarding its previously disclosed intention to fund food-related research initiatives (the "Research Initiatives") in support of its expanding portfolio of consumer health and wellness products.

The Company is now in a position to allocate capital toward the Research Initiatives and expects to narrow the selection of its preferred research partners. Restart anticipates that initial Research Initiatives may, over time, progress into more advanced and continuous research programs intended to enhance product formulation, functional performance, and overall quality. The Company expects to provide additional updates as these initiatives advance and as research parameters are further defined.

Emphasis on Health and Wellness Product Innovation

Restart Life Sciences has recently introduced and further developed several consumer health brands, including BrainQ™, a functional product platform formulated with natural ingredients commonly associated with cognitive support, and BrainBalls™, a nutrient-dense snack designed to support daily brain wellness. These brands reflect the Company's broader strategic focus on delivering accessible, science-informed products within the health and wellness category.

As part of this strategy, Restart intends to establish a structured scientific framework in connection with the Research Initiatives to support ingredient assessment, formulation performance analysis, and future product development across its portfolio.

Anticipated Research Scope and Objectives

The planned Research Initiatives are intended to generate scientifically grounded insights to support the ongoing evolution of Restart's functional wellness products. Areas of investigation may include exploratory assessments of ingredient quality, formulation integrity, and overall functional performance, including general stability considerations across varying environmental conditions.

In addition, research activities may examine ingredient behavior within different formulation matrices to identify trends that could inform future optimization efforts. Such work may include evaluations of sensory attributes, nutrient retention, and potential degradation pathways, as well as the identification of opportunities to refine ingredient compositions or enhance functional characteristics.

Where appropriate, preliminary considerations related to bioavailability and the functional potential of select active components may also be explored, either through the Company's primary research partners or in collaboration with additional third-party specialists. The resulting insights are expected to inform product refinement, innovation initiatives, and longer-term research and development strategies.

Potential outputs from these initiatives may include high-level scientific observations, technical assessments, and advisory recommendations designed to support ongoing product development, quality assurance, and continuous improvement efforts.

Outlook

Restart Life Sciences believes that a disciplined, research-oriented approach will be instrumental in strengthening its ability to deliver high-quality, effective health and wellness products over the long term. The Company remains committed to building a scalable and cost-efficient scientific foundation that supports innovation while aligning with its current stage of growth and capital resources.

Restart Life Sciences would like to thank its shareholders for their ongoing support as the Company advances its mission and continues to execute on its strategy.
