Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. — Cyborg Score 2/10

Challenged
Clinical nutrition and dietary supplements (historical)

Strategic Profile

The company previously focused on ocular health products including GlaucoCetin and Lumega-Z, but shifted to a liquidation model after selling its Viactiv® brand for $17.2 million gross cash consideration in 2024. The company completed its Nasdaq delisting in October 2024 and now trades OTC as it executes its dissolution plan.

Cyborg Score Rationale

The company is undergoing systematic liquidation and asset disposition. With core business lines divested and operations winding down, Guardion lacks growth drivers and operational momentum. The liquidation status makes this a distressed situation rather than a going concern.
