Understanding Muscle Loss with Aging and Weight Loss

After the age of 40, lean body mass declines by 1-2% per year, and strength decreases even faster, at a rate of 1.5-5% annually. These changes are influenced by key factors like muscle-derived myokines, hormones, and other metabolites, which play a role in systemic health, including gastrointestinal (GI), brain, and vascular health.

Rapid weight loss methods, such as GLP-1 protocols (e.g., Semaglutide) and bariatric surgery, disproportionately affect lean body mass, leading to weakened metabolic function and increased frailty. Addressing these issues is critical for both aesthetic and functional health goals.

Fortetropin: A Revolutionary Approach to Muscle Health

MYOS MD’s Fortetropin® is a patented, food-based supplement derived from fertilized raw eggs. It has been clinically validated to lower myostatin—a negative regulator of muscle growth—and support muscle protein synthesis. This supplement helps protect muscle during weight loss, aging, and recovery from injury.

How Fortetropin Works

• Reduces muscle breakdown.
• Supports muscle protein synthesis, improving lean body mass.
• Enhances mitochondrial function for sustained energy and metabolic health.

With six clinical trials and multiple patents, Fortetropin offers a safe, natural solution to combat sarcopenia and support muscle-centric wellness.

Clinical Evidence Supporting Fortetropin

Berkeley Study

A study involving older adults showed an 18% increase in protein synthesis after 21 days of Fortetropin supplementation. Importantly, no changes to diet or exercise were required to see these benefits.

Resistance Training Study

Fortetropin was tested on 37 resistance-trained college athletes. Participants significantly increased lean body mass compared to a placebo group, demonstrating the product’s effectiveness even in well-trained individuals.

Veterinary Studies

Research in dogs recovering from surgery showed that Fortetropin supplementation prevented muscle loss during periods of immobility, highlighting its applications for recovery.

Who Can Benefit from Fortetropin?

• Older Adults: Combat age-related muscle loss and frailty.
• Active Individuals: Optimize muscle recovery and performance.
• Injury Recovery: Prevent muscle atrophy during immobilization.
• Weight Loss Protocols: Protect lean body mass during GLP-1 treatments or other rapid weight loss strategies.

Dosage and Practical Applications

The typical starting dose for Fortetropin is 6.6 grams per day, with adjustments for individuals recovering from surgery or experiencing severe muscle loss. Fortetropin is available in two flavors—Vanilla and Unflavored—making it easy to integrate into daily routines such as shakes, yogurt, or sparkling water.

Suggested Pairings

For optimal results, combine Fortetropin with essential amino acids, glutamine, and mitochondrial support (e.g., CoQ10, resveratrol). Ensure patients are consuming sufficient protein and calories to maintain metabolic health.

Powerful Tools for Patients and Practitioners

Fortetropin is a science-backed, natural solution to combat muscle loss, improve metabolic health, and support recovery. Whether addressing aging, injury, or weight loss, this supplement offers a powerful tool for patients and practitioners alike.
