MYOS RENS Will Be Silver Sponsor at International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR)

CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J., April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MYOS RENS Technology Inc. ("MYOS" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: MYOS), a company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of muscle health and performance products, announced today that it will be a Silver Sponsor at the upcoming International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR), to be held April 27-29, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. MYOS will be using this event as a platform for introducing clinicians to Qurr Well, their new line of functional nutrition products targeted at improving musculoskeletal health in aging adults.

"We are pleased to be a sponsor at the upcoming International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research, and to have the opportunity to showcase the Qurr Well portfolio of products that may provide a solution to age-related muscle loss in adults by increasing lean muscle mass," stated Joseph Mannello, interim CEO of MYOS. "With this portfolio of products, MYOS aspires to become one of the leading companies in the world focused on improving musculoskeletal health in aging adults."

The ICFSR is the premier medical conference that highlights advances in sarcopenia research, with over 400 leading physicians and scientists with expertise in sarcopenia from 62 countries attending each year. Sarcopenia is defined by the National Institutes of Health as the progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and function in older adults, and MYOS will be joining other companies focused on addressing sarcopenia through therapeutics and nutrition at the conference.

Qurr Well, along with the entire Qurr portfolio of products, features Fortetropin®, which has been clinically shown to build lean muscle mass and improve muscle function.  Fortetropin® is MYOS' proprietary ingredient that naturally reduces myostatin.  It is prepared from fertilized egg yolk and is processed using patented technology to preserve the natural bioactivity of egg yolk. Results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study with researchers from the University of Tampa demonstrated statistically significant gains in muscle thickness relative to placebo.  Qurr products come in shakes and powders and are available in four flavors. 

MYOS will exhibit in booth #2 at ICFSR 2017, and its scientists will be in attendance to meet with conference delegates to discuss the Company's latest research findings. For more information or to purchase Qurr, please visit www.qurr.com.
