RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association Gains Support From INVO Bioscience – The Providers of The Affordable Treatment Option- INVOcell

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.


It’s estimated that nearly 90% of couples in need of infertility treatment go without care!

Established in 1974, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association is a non-profit organization with the only established, nationwide network mandated to promote reproductive health and to ensure equal access to all family building options for men and women experiencing infertility or other reproductive disorders. One in eight U.S. couples of childbearing age has trouble conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term. RESOLVE addresses this public health issue by providing community to these women and men, connecting them with others who can help, empowering them to find resolution and giving voice to their demands for access to all family building options.

RESOLVE is currently hosting their National Infertility Awareness Week, from April 18 to April 24 (#NIAW2021).

Vista’s View

INVO Bioscience (INVO) is an emerging company that owns the INVOcell system, an FDA cleared medical device that is one of only 3 ways today that a couple that is struggling with infertility may choose to use to try to get pregnant and that offers a more economical and natural way to proceed. Industry forecasts suggest that only 1% to 2% of the estimated 150 million infertile couples worldwide are currently being treated so they are working in a severely underserved market that has capacity constraints, access to care & cost issues which the INVOcell system seems to address.

INVO Bioscience successfully conducted a public offering in November 2020, raising net proceeds of approximately $11.6 million at $3.20/share, while uplisting the company onto the NASDAQ market. These moves strengthened their balance sheet & their position to execute on their commercialization efforts in the US and around the world and helped improve the adoptability of investors and Wall Street alike.

INVO has structured distribution agreements in eight countries located within Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

INVO has now structured additional joint venture agreements to open INVOcell-exclusive clinics in the US and Mexico where they will share not only in the sales of the INVOcell system, but also in the greater revenue of every cycle that would be . 

Upcoming milestones include opening more distributor & joint venture agreements, opening of 3-5 INVO-only clinics in in 2021 with existing partners in the U.S. and abroad, making progress with existing relationships the various countries, & successfully receiving the nod from the FDA for 5-day labelling, which alone would allow INVO to achieve a milestone payment of $3 Million from their U.S. partner Ferring Pharmaceuticals.

INVO’s stock closed trading at $4.32, +6.93%. The 52-week range of $2.90- $12.30. The current 3-month average daily volume is 1.96 million shares.
