About MYOS
MYOS makes muscle and joint supplements for dogs, cats, and horses. The products use Fortetropin, a patented ingredient made from fertilized egg yolk. Fortetropin is used to help maintain muscle and reduce muscle loss related to aging, injury, or less activity. MYOS Corp has studied the ingredient in several clinical studies and has multiple patents for how it is made. MYOS products are dietary supplements, not FDA-approved drugs. They are meant to support muscle and mobility health, not treat a specific condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Fortetropin?
Ans: Fortetropin is a patented ingredient made from fertilized egg yolk and developed by MYOS Corp. It is used in MYOS muscle formulas. The ingredient is intended to help maintain muscle and reduce muscle loss linked to aging, injury, or less activity.
Q2: Is MYOS a medication or a supplement?
Ans: These MYOS products are supplements rather than FDA-approved medications. Their purpose is to support general muscle and joint health, not to treat a particular condition. The FDA has not evaluated the claims made about these products.
Q3: Do I need a prescription to buy MYOS?
Ans: No. MYOS products are sold over the counter, so no prescription is required to order them through HardyPaw.
Q4: What's the difference between the regular Muscle Formula and the Muscle & Joint Formula?
Ans: The regular Muscle Formula contains only Fortetropin. The Muscle & Joint version adds green lipped mussel, an ingredient commonly used for joint support, so it addresses muscle and joint health together rather than muscle alone.
Q5: Can MYOS be given to puppies, kittens, or senior pets?
Ans: MYOS markets its formulas as suitable for pets at different life stages, including seniors and younger animals, with dosing based on weight. Check the product label or ask your veterinarian for guidance specific to your pet.
Q6: Are MYOS supplements available for animals other than dogs and cats?
Ans: Yes. MYOS also makes an Equine Muscle Formula for horses, using the same Fortetropin ingredient in a serving size suited to larger animals.
Q7: What are MYOS collagen and probiotic chews used for?
Ans: The collagen chews combine muscle and mobility ingredients in a chewable treat, while the probiotic chews are aimed at digestive support. Both are separate from the core Fortetropin powders and can be given alongside them.
Q8: Who makes MYOS products?
Ans: MYOS products come from MYOS Corp, the company that developed and patented the Fortetropin ingredient used across its canine, feline, and equine formulas.
