Global Wellness Trends 2025
Breath is booming
yet modern life holds it back.
Toxic Air
Urban air is loaded with pollutants, microbes, and irritants we can’t avoid.
Blocked Airways
Even healthy people fight airway resistance that holds back breath’s full power.
Chemical Crutches
Pharma sprays and synthetics offer short-term relief, but weaken the respiratory system.

The Next Era of

Health
Meanwhile, the global respiratory drugs market is worth $90B+ annually†, but it’s built on synthetics and symptom relief, not nature and health.
Respiratory drugs prove the scale of demand, but they only capture users stuck in a cycle of short-term relief. Millions more are seeking lasting, natural solutions, leaving a massive, underserved audience outside the pharma-dominated market.
Flo IO bridges this divide. We capture the white space in breathwork CPG while tapping into a proven, growing $90B+ category.
Meanwhile, the global respiratory drugs market is worth $90B+ annually†, but it’s built on synthetics and symptom relief, not nature and health. None position breath or the respiratory microbiome as the foundation of resilience, health, and human potential, which can only be supported through natural pathways, not synthetics.
Flo IO bridges this divide as the first breath-first performance brand, inspired by nature. We capture the white space in breathwork CPG while tapping into a proven, growing $90B+ category.

Pandemic Catalyst to
Wellness Frontier
Just as the gut microbiome reshaped digestion, the respiratory microbiome will redefine breathing, immunity, and performance.
The pandemic put breath at the center of global attention, and rising search interest shows the shift toward respiratory microbiome as the next frontier, signaling a growing interest in respiratory resilience.
The science is clear: the respiratory microbiome cannot be supported with synthetics or drugs. It requires natural pathways, clean inputs, and high bioactivity—exactly the white space pharma leaves untouched.
Flo IO answers with a feel-it-now product that makes natural respiratory health real in seconds.

What You'll Feel
A single dose delivers more than a sensation—it changes
how you breathe.
Airway Opening
Nanofied botanicals open upper airways on contact, clearing resistance and unlocking immediate airflow.
Breathing Efficiency
Wider passages improve tidal exchange and utilization, supporting more effective respiratory performance.
Deeper Rhythm
Improved breath-cycle efficiency with maintained VO₂ supports diaphragmatic control and sustained rhythm.
Energy Boost
Enhanced airflow and bioactive stimulation increase mitochondrial output, producing a clean perceptible lift.
Performance Lift
Airway opening and neurosensory activation combine to ready the body for higher output and faster recovery.
Mental Alertness
Trigeminal cooling and enriched airflow trigger EEG beta-wave activity, driving rapid focus and clarity.
Third‑party studies are roadmapped for Q4 Year 2 –Q1 Year 3.

Our "last mile" advantage, explained.
Dual-phase pre-emulsion enters a 24 kHz ultrasonic cavitation cell (30,000+ pulses per second). Shear forces implode 2–8 µm oil droplets into 25–75 nm micelles, each wrapped in sunflower-lecithin phospholipids. That single step turns a typical tincture into a crystal-clear, lung-ready nanoelixir.
≈100× Smaller Particles
Faster, more even airway coverage and a perceptible "airwake" instantly.
≈100× More Surface Area
Maximized contact with breath-path tissues for superior uptake per dose.

A Low-Cost Growth Engine
Binge-Worthy Reactions
Flo IO is primed to ride the
rising tide of breath.
One hero SKU with a magnetic visual hook turns that first “wow” moment into binge-watchable clips, at a fraction of the cost big wellness brands pay.
The playbook: one shoot day each month, AI-driven edits in minutes, then a steady short-form feed that keeps CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) low while compounding organic reach. Real-time performance testing lets us scale spend with precision. No bloated content budget, no lag.
They pull in millions, but they’re selling fluff.
Unchallenged incumbents rely on MCT oil and stevia bases with low tangible value and almost no benefits beyond their peppermint "wow." Flo Drops™, by contrast, is made of 98% functional botanicals, providing instant and lasting benefits.
We’ll lean into their own social momentum, exposing "filler formulas" as a villain so every share-worthy clip drives virality and converts their customers into ours.

Operator Salary: Compensation tapers after Month 12 as AI-driven automations replace manual Operator tasks. The goal is a self-operating system in which the “Operator-in-Chief” role is fully absorbed by streamlined workflows, eliminating ongoing salary expense while maintaining performance.
Note: Our financial models are illustrative and based on multiple dynamic variables. They will be updated continuously as real‐world data populates our operational dashboard. We’ve built in conservative assumptions where market data is less certain, and will actively optimize key levers (pricing, average order values, customer acquisition costs, retention metrics, growth channels, etc.) in real time to drive performance.

Phase 2 unlocks dietary-supplement claims. We raise $100K, spend ≈$34K to launch, hold $50K in reserve, and still reach cash-flow positive by Month 6. The GMP reserve is deployed in Month 4, moving production into a certified facility and enabling compliant structure-function marketing.

FAQs
Can I try it?
After years of in-lab testing and dozens of iterations, we’re now raising our friends-and-family round to produce the first market-ready batch. You’ll be one of the first to try it when bottles land.
What's next in the product lineup?
Two products are on the horizon: a daily-use capsule designed to nourish, protect, and balance the airway microbiome from within, using a blend of polyphenols, prebiotic modulators, and immune-supportive botanicals. And a Sport version of Flo Drops™ with VO₂-boosting ingredients like arjuna, beet root, and ashwagandha to enhance performance and endurance.
When do distributions start?
As soon as the business produces net profit and after a small operating reserve is set aside; distributions flow first to investors until they hit their cap.
What protections do investors have?
Investor units can't be diluted, major debt is capped, and a change-of-control requires paying investors their remaining cap at closing.
What are the main risks and mitigations?
Advertising volatility (answered by rapid creative testing and LTV discipline), supply/fulfillment hiccups (3PL + buffer stock), and compliance (GMP transition plan and external counsel).
