Seattle, Dec. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AstaMed, the Bellevue-based biotech pioneer with a new medical protocol currently available for the management of sarcopenia, announced a new nationwide distribution partnership with Kelley-Ross Pharmacy Group. The new agreement will provide discounted pricing, the quality customer service for which Kelley-Ross Pharmacy Group is known along with fast and friendly prescription refill services.
AstaMed MYO is a proprietary astaxanthin medical protocol for the management of sarcopenia, which is the loss of muscle mass associated with aging. Sarcopenia typically starts at about age 40 and, for most people, progressively accelerates after age 65. Sarcopenia affects muscle size, strength, and performance, impacting an estimated 25% of the U.S. population age 60 and older.
Dan Mueller, General Manager of AstaMed explained, “This new partnership puts the healing power of AstaMed MYO within reach of those suffering the life-changing impact of sarcopenia, which so often robs people of their independence and mobility.” Mueller continued, “Our new agreement with Kelley-Ross Pharmacy Group, and the integrity they’ve delivered for nearly a century, allows us to reach patients with delivery directly to their home when they need AstaMed MYO the most.”
