Filing Explained

The filing adds the press release to the specified S-8, while its supporting manuscript remains unreviewed and does not establish product safety or efficacy.

As a Form 6-K, this report furnishes interim information from YD Bio Limited; except for quotes in the press release, it is incorporated by reference into the company’s specified Form S-8, changing the registration statement’s referenced disclosure rather than reporting a completed financing or ownership change.

The filing qualifies the scientific support for the daytime formulation: the narrative review has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and is under review, but it has not been peer-reviewed or accepted and does not establish clinical safety or efficacy for any product.

The material watch item is the journal’s review and potential publication of that manuscript; the filing does not establish that either outcome has occurred.

Exhibit 99.1

 

YD Bio Launches a Physician-Partnership Initiative in Taiwan with the Announcement of Two Nutraceutical Products in Collaboration with the Taiwan Chronic Disease Healthcare Association and the Future Health Institute

 

Two chrono-nutrition formulations — a daytime lipid-soluble “Golden Triangle” formula and a nighttime zinc-plus-calcium formula — were developed in collaboration with the Taiwan CDHA and FHI. The Company intends to expand this approach by exploring additional opportunities for collaboration with other physicians and healthcare organizations.

 

TAIPEI, Taiwan, August 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YD Bio Limited (“YD Bio” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: YDES), a biotechnology company advancing DNA methylation–based cancer detection technology and ophthalmologic innovations, today announced its initial step towards building a physician-partnership ecosystem and related consumer health commercialization capabilities in Taiwan with the launch of two chrono-nutrition formulations, a daytime lipid-soluble “Golden Triangle” formula and a nighttime zinc-plus-calcium formula, developed in collaboration with the Taiwan Chronic Disease Healthcare Association (“CDHA”) and the Future Health Institute, a widely followed physician-led health education platform in Taiwan with more than 233,000 subscribers on YouTube (“FHI”).

 

This physician-partnership model represents a bottoms-up approach in which practicing clinicians define the formulation requirements based on observations in their own patient populations, with YD Bio contributing its expertise in product development, sourcing, quality oversight and commercialization.

 

The Company regards this collaboration with the Taiwan CDHA and FHI as the initial deployment of a repeatable physician-partnership model rather than a standalone product launch and intends to explore additional collaborations with other physicians and healthcare organizations.

 

Launch Highlights

 

Two products launched in Taiwan under the YD Bio brand, built around a day-and-night chrono-nutrition concept.
Builds a relationship with health-conscious consumers in Taiwan through its nutritional products business, creating a foundation for future engagement with the Company’s regulated diagnostics and clinical services offerings.
Co-developed with practicing physicians; each product carries the certification mark of the Taiwan CDHA and a recommendation by the FHI.
Physician-partnership model designed to be repeatable — the Company intends to co-develop further formulations with additional clinician partners for their respective patient communities.

 

 

 

 

Why a Physician-Partnership Model

 

Consumer health companies often compete through marketing spend and distribution channels. In contrast, YD Bio’s approach starts with physician insights and healthcare relationships: a physician with an established practice and an engaged audience identifies a specific nutritional need in that population, then the formulation is built to address such need. The Company believes this approach offers three advantages: (1) healthcare solutions grounded in observed patient needs, (2) distribution through established relationships based on trust rather than purchased attention, and (3) a template that can be applied again with each new physician partner.

 

For YD Bio, the model is intended to be capital-light relative to the Company’s therapeutic and diagnostic programs, to generate recurring consumer revenue from repeat purchases, and to build a relationship with health-conscious consumers in Taiwan that may support future engagement with the Company’s regulated diagnostics and clinical services offerings.

 

Scientific Background

 

The daytime formulation reflects an area of research interest for the Company’s scientific team. A review manuscript titled “Beyond Bone Health: Exploring the ‘Heart-Brain-Bone’ Axis Modulated by Lipid-Soluble Nutrients (Omega-3, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2),” co-authored by YD Bio personnel together with physician-researchers in Taiwan, has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal and is currently under review. The manuscript examines the published literature on how long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK-7) act on shared biological pathways relating to calcium handling, inflammation resolution and vascular function.

 

“Our vision is to build an integrated healthcare platform that connects scientific innovation, clinical expertise and patient needs,” said Dr. Ethan Shen, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of YD Bio. “Our collaboration with physician-led organizations in Taiwan represents an important step in expanding our healthcare ecosystem and building trusted relationships with healthcare professionals and consumers. While consumer health products represent one component of our broader strategy, our focus remains on developing scalable healthcare solutions across diagnostics, clinical services and life science commercialization.”
