CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ--(Marketwired - Oct 2, 2014) - MYOS Corporation ("MYOS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYOS), an emerging biotherapeutics and bionutrition company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of products that improve muscle health and performance, announced today the Company's abstract of a clinical study of Fortetropin^™ conducted in average, modestly trained males at the University of Tampa was accepted for poster presentation at the American College of Nutrition's 55^th Annual Conference focused on Translational Nutrition: Turning Research into Practice, being held October 15-18, 2014 in San Antonio, TX.

The abstract entitled, "A Novel Myostatin Inhibitor Increases Lean Body Mass and Muscle Thickness in Modestly Resistance Trained Males," highlights positive, statistically significant clinical trial results conducted at the Department of Health Sciences and Human Performance at The University of Tampa studying the effects of Fortetropin in modestly resistance trained males. Co-authors of the abstract are Jacob Wilson, Ph.D., CSCS*D, Assistant Professor and Director of the Skeletal Muscle and Sports Nutrition Laboratory at The University of Tampa, and Maghsoud Dariani, the head of science and technology at MYOS.

Robert Ashton, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of MYOS, commented, "We are pleased that our abstract has been selected for poster presentation at the American College of Nutrition's annual conference. The University of Tampa clinical study is extremely important for MYOS as it clearly demonstrates that the use of Fortetropin results in significant and impressive gains in muscle growth and lean body mass in recreationally trained individuals. We believe this is important because these subjects are more representative of the general population than the athletes and body builders so often studied. We look forward to presenting key findings from the study at this prestigious scientific congress."

Dr. Ashton concluded, "The compelling results of this study will help accelerate our efforts in building a portfolio of therapeutic products. We will continue studying Fortetropin's profound biological activity on overall health and longevity in many important clinical areas as we work to broaden our reach into the medical food and traditional therapeutic marketplace."
