Longer term, we are focused on delivering high quality products, founded on a platform of carefully designed and well-executed discovery and clinical research. Although we are in the early stage of developing our business, our near-term initiatives and long-term plans are intended to position MYOS to take advantage of a unique opportunity to fill the void between functional foods, vitamins and dietary supplements, and the traditional pharmaceutical and therapeutic industries."
