DENVER, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MusclePharm
Corporation, a Nevada corporation
("MusclePharm" or the "Company") (OTCBB: MSLP), an expanding U.S.
nutritional supplement company, is pleased to announce that it has
secured prime placement in 1,700 General Nutrition Center (GNC)
locations for its innovative MuscleGel product beginning in
August.
MusclePharm will receive L-Box Placement at each GNC location,
which is the premier product placement location in each store, to
showcase its category-creating supplement, MuscleGel.
The nutritional supplement, which has drawn rave reviews across
several different platforms, contains 22 grams of protein and just
96 calories in each pack, and its gel-based formula makes it simple
to consume on the go without liquids or mixing.
"This is a great sign that our relationship with GNC is getting
stronger by the day. We had an incredible first quarter of 2011 and
we are looking forward to even bigger things with them for the rest
of 2011 and 2012," MusclePharm CEO Brad
Pyatt said.
In addition to obtaining L-Box Placement at 1,700 GNC locations,
MusclePharm is also excited to note that it just came off a record
month of approximately $1.8 million
in unaudited revenues to start its second quarter. It is a further
sign that the popular company continues to expand and develop at a
remarkable rate.
"This type of placement is another indication of our incredible
growth," Pyatt said. "It is our goal to deliver remarkable sales
and growth, and we will continue to add value to this company."
GNC is the largest specialty retailer of nutritional products in
the world, featuring locations throughout the United States and in numerous
international markets.
Its L-Box Placement is reserved for top-selling companies and
products, which also indicates the strong business that MusclePharm
and MuscleGel is doing at each GNC location.
