MYOS RENS Technology Inc. ("MYOS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYOS) announced today the publication of the peer-reviewed study of the human clinical trial of Fortetropin®, the Company's proprietary myostatin-reducing agent, in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Over the course of the twelve-week double blind placebo controlled study investigating the effects of Fortetropin® on skeletal muscle growth, human subjects who received Fortetropin® showed significant gains in lean body mass and muscle thickness, while those receiving placebo did not. A con-current rodent model study, investigating the mechanism of the action of Fortetropin®, showed significant increase in anabolic and decrease in catabolic signaling.

"The results of the human clinical trial of Fortetropin® are significant and serve to validate our earlier research," said Neerav D. Padliya, Ph.D., Vice President of Research Alliances of MYOS RENS. "In addition to demonstrating Fortetropin's positive impact on lean muscle mass, we were able to gain valuable insight into its mechanism of action in the body -- in particular, its effects on mTOR and ubiquitin signaling, which play important roles in the function of muscle tissue." Dr. Jacob Wilson of the University of Tampa in collaboration with Maghsoud Dariani, Head of Science and Technology at MYOS RENS, designed the study. Dr. Wilson and his team of researchers at the University of Tampa supervised and conducted the human trial and the rodent study.

MYOS plans to initiate future clinical research to explore the positive potential impact of Fortetropin® on aging, quality of life, and longevity.

About Fortetropin®

Fortetropin® is a natural myostatin-reducing agent derived from fertilized chicken egg yolk using patented, proprietary technology. Myostatin is a natural regulatory protein that inhibits the growth of new muscle tissue, and thus plays a central role in skeletal muscle health. Clinical studies have validated Fortetropin's ability to significantly decrease serum myostatin levels while increasing muscle size and lean body mass in human and rodent subjects.

About MYOS RENS Technology, Inc.

MYOS RENS is an emerging biotherapeutics and bionutrition company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of products that improve muscle health and function essential to the management of sarcopenia, cachexia, and degenerative muscle diseases. MYOS RENS is the owner of Fortetropin®, the first clinically-proven, all natural myostatin-reducing agent. Myostatin is a naturally-occurring regulatory protein which inhibits muscle growth and recovery. Medical literature suggests that lowering myostatin levels has many potential health benefits including increased muscle mass, healthy weight management, improved energy levels, stimulation of muscle healing, as well as treating sarcopenia, a condition of age-related loss of muscle mass.
