First Fertilized Egg Powder Approved in Canada
CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ–(May 28, 2015) – 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 human muscle health and performance, announced today that Health Canada, has reviewed and approved Fortetropin®, the Company’s proprietary ingredient, for sale in powder dose form in Canada. Fortetropin is the first fertilized egg yolk powder ingredient to be approved by Health Canada and issued a Natural Product Number.
In order to support the incorporation of Fortetropin as a medicinal ingredient in finished products for sale in Canada, MYOS submitted evidence to the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate of Health Canada to substantiate the quality, safety and efficacy of Fortetropin. For more information about Fortetropin, a letter of access, explaining Fortetropin’s claims and uses, is available upon request.
Maghsoud Dariani, head of Science and Technology for MYOS, commented, “Our investment in, and commitment to, Fortetropin runs deep. MYOS realized the potential of this ingredient in 2011, and invested a great deal of research into manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance. Fortetropin is a bioactive proteo-lipid complex made from fertilized chicken egg yolk using a proprietary process that retains the biological integrity and bioactivity of the mixture. Egg yolk is known as one of the most nutritionally dense natural foods available, making it a strong candidate for inclusion in medical and functional foods. MYOS is very excited to have the opportunity to sell Fortetropin powder in Canada.”
Lindsey Penrose, MYOS’ Vice President of Business Development, added, “We are very pleased that Fortetropin has been granted regulatory approval by Health Canada in a powder dose form. Canadian natural health product regulations are extremely strict and we believe this approval attests to Fortetropin’s high level of safety and scientific support.”

About Health Canada
The mission of Health Canada is to make Canada the healthiest country in the world. Relying on high quality research, Health Canada communicates information and encourages Canadians to take an active role in their health. All natural health products (NHPs) sold in Canada are subject to the Natural Health Products Regulations, which came into force on January 1, 2004. [The Regulations help give Canadians access to a wide range of natural health products that are safe, effective and of high quality. Through the Natural Health Products Directorate, Health Canada assures that all Canadians have ready access to a wide range of natural health products that are safe, effective and of high quality.](1)
The safety and efficacy of NHPs and their health claims must be supported by proper evidence so that consumers and Health Canada know the products are indeed safe and effective. Evidence may include clinical trial data or references to published studies, journals, pharmacopoeias and traditional resources. The type and amount of supporting evidence required depends on the proposed health claim of the product and its overall risks.
As part of the Health Products and Food Branch of Health Canada, the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) is the regulating authority for natural health products for sale in Canada. Its role is to ensure that Canadians have ready access to natural health products that are safe, effective and of high quality while respecting freedom of choice and philosophical and cultural diversity.
The Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) has changed its name to the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) subsequent to its recently expanded mandate to include the oversight of non-prescription and disinfectant drugs in addition to natural health products (NHPs).
