Yolked® is an all-natural product designed to
work in conjunction with your sports protein of choice and helps
your body utilize that protein more efficiently. Due to its key
ingredient Fortetopin®, made through a patented process
that maintains the vital nutrients of fertilized egg yolks to build
more lean muscle and decrease muscle loss, Yolked has been
clinically shown to build up to 8 pounds of muscle mass in as
little as 12 weeks. Up until now, Yolked has only been
available to collegiate athletic programs and not readily
accessible to the general public. With its nationwide launch into
The Vitamin Shoppe®, athletes of all levels can purchase
Yolked and experience the benefits of its high-performance
formulation.
Joseph Mannello, Chief Executive
Officer of MYOS, commented, "We are very pleased to partner with
The Vitamin Shoppe®, one of the largest and most
respected companies in the industry, whose customers have an
overwhelming demand for new, safe, all-natural and effective
nutritional supplement products. The Vitamin Shoppe®
recognizes that Yolked®, formulated with
Fortetropin®, is not only great-tasting and good for
you– it is also protein's perfect partner in that it enables
the body to utilize protein more efficiently to build muscle mass
and size. Yolked greatly complements the growing protein categories
and we believe it will draw additional consumers to the
segment."
"When it comes to innovation, we are extremely selective with
what we bring to market as it must first resonate with our
customers and meet their needs and expectations," said Mark Hilton, Vice President of Merchandising at
The Vitamin Shoppe®. "We feel that Yolked®
will make an excellent addition to our portfolio of offerings as it
is a truly unique product that's clinically proven to increase
muscle growth and lean body mass, which are both key components our
customers look for when choosing their sports nutrition
solutions."
Yolked® will be available at The Vitamin
Shoppe® stores and online at vitaminshoppe.com beginning
December 30, 2018 for $99.99.
