MYOS CORP Announces Formation of Veterinary Advisory Board
Seven prestigious thought leaders from private practice and academia will guide MYOS CORP through its next stage of growth in animal health industry
CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MYOS CORP ("MYOS" or the "Company"), a research-based advanced nutrition company with divisions that address both Human Nutrition and Animal Health, announced today that it has formed a Veterinary Advisory Board ("VAB") for its Animal Health Business. The VAB is comprised of leading experts in areas such as Small Animal Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, Veterinary Nutrition, Chronic Kidney Disease, Canine Osteoarthritis and Pain Management. Its members consist of veterinarians in private practice and professors at leading veterinary colleges. The VAB will advise MYOS on new product development, future clinical studies, and communication strategies within the veterinarian industry.
"We are firmly committed to building a world-class veterinary nutrition company that is driven by science every step along the way," said Joseph Mannello, MYOS CORP CEO. "Therefore, we have assembled a Veterinary Advisory Board that is comprised of thought leaders in areas of strategic importance to MYOS as we enter the next phase of growth for our Animal Health Business."
The MYOS Canine Muscle Health Formula product line (Original and Vet Strength) is powered by the proprietary ingredient Fortetropin®, an all-natural composition comprised of fertilized chicken egg yolk powder. Emphasizing the importance of robust scientific research around its products, MYOS has commissioned several clinical studies to examine the efficacy of Fortetropin.
"Since the launch of MYOS Canine Muscle Formula a little over two years ago we have received positive clinical results on the efficacy of Fortetropin in two canine clinical trials, as well as one human trial," said Mannello. "Two of these studies have been published in prestigious peer reviewed journals and we expect our latest one – on quality of life in geriatric and arthritic dogs – to be published soon."
Furthering its commitment to science, MYOS CORP offers two Continuing Education (CE) Courses that are approved by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB) for inclusion in its Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE). To date, more than 600 Certificates of Completion have been awarded to veterinarians from 22 countries.
In 2021, MYOS plans to launch a new product, MYOS Canine Joint & Muscle Health Formula, to address canine osteoarthritis. This product will contain Fortetropin® and green lipped mussel powder.
Also, in 2021, MYOS plans to launch MYOS Feline Muscle Health Formula to address muscle atrophy in cats. The Company recently completed a safety and tolerability study at the University of Florida on the use of Fortetropin with cats.
"I am absolutely delighted with the depth and breadth of expertise that my veterinary colleagues on the MYOS Veterinary Advisory Board will bring to the company," said Albert Ahn, DVM, MYOS' Chief Veterinary Adviser. "I am excited about working with this outstanding group to build a truly exceptional Animal Nutrition company."
