MYOS Announces That MYO-X Is Now Available Online at GNC.com

CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ--(Marketwire - Oct 9, 2012) - MYOS Corporation (OTCBB: MYOS), a company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of muscle health and performance therapeutic products, announced today that its premiere distributor, MHP, recently launched MYO-X™, and it is now available through the website of nutrition retail powerhouse, GNC. MYO-X contains MYOS' breakthrough MYO-T12™, the world's first clinically proven myostatin inhibitor designed to build lean muscle mass and improve strength and endurance. The company anticipates that its products will be distributed throughout GNC stores in the very near future.

Peter Levy, Chief Operating Officer of MYOS, said, "We believe GNC will bring MYO-X to a wider range of consumers, and will enhance our product's availability by associating it with a widely respected retailer of health and nutrition products in the world."

Myostatin is a natural regulatory protein that blocks muscle growth and impedes repair. MYO-X temporarily inhibits production of this protein, allowing for more rapid muscle growth and recovery from exercise or injury. This makes MYO-X a highly desirable product for health aficionados and athletes as an aid to building muscle, and a perfect fit for GNC stores.

GNC has more than 4,800 retail locations throughout the United States, including more than 1,000 franchises and more than 1,200 Rite-Aid store-within-store locations.
