Peter Levy, President and Chief Operating Officer of MYOS, commented, "The addition of another seasoned executive, with a history of building exceptional branded products, to the MYOS team, signals the Company's commitment to aggressively build our revolutionary technology platform across a broad array of bionutrition products. Doug's appointment comes at an exciting time as we continue to expand the product portfolio for Fortetropin in additional strategic markets including medical and functional foods. His broad experience creating and managing world-class retail brands will be invaluable as the Company introduces new muscle health products and continues to refine our internal development efforts and seek to identify additional technologies which will help grow our business in the coming years."

Mr. Weekes added, "I am thrilled to be joining MYOS at this important time in the history of this young Company as it is developing into a leader in the muscle health and age management arena. I believe Fortetropin is a transformational natural product that has the potential to revolutionize the way consumers prevent or reverse the inevitable muscle loss which accompanies aging and that complicates the treatment of a range of other illnesses from diabetes to cancer. Fortetropin has been shown to build lean muscle mass and is clinically proven to regulate the protein myostatin responsible for inhibiting muscle growth. By making Fortetropin-based products commercially available as an over-the-counter therapeutic option, MYOS will equip a wide population of health conscious consumers to benefit from the effects of its myostatin inhibition including increasing lean muscle mass leading to overall improved physical health."
