"With our intellectual property portfolio at the center of the emerging field of muscle health, we believe MYOS is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. Baby boomers increasingly need to prevent or delay age-related muscle loss, a condition known as sarcopenia, as well as manage muscle health related aspects of many chronic illnesses including cancer, chronic neurological disease and other serious medical conditions. MYOS' innovative approach aligns with DIL's commitment to develop better foods including functional foods and nutraceutical products. We are honored to be one of only a dozen U.S. members of DIL."
