"Showcasing the Company's commitment to marketing and the
prowess of their new sales campaigns, Atlas has signed
hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky as their spokesman."
Overview
Atlas Therapeutics Corporation owns the rights to MYO-T12, the world's only
clinically validated myostatin inhibitor. Myostatin is a natural regulatory
protein, which inhibits muscle growth and recovery. MYO-T12 is manufactured to
optimize biological activity and has the potential to redefine existing
standards of physical enhancement. Atlas is focused on preserving and growing
the existing brand identity of MYO-T12 by refining its technical profile, and
designing and implementing a marketing and sales strategy to increase
penetration of the product into the existing health and fitness community.
Investment Highlights
- Massive Industry. The nutraceutical industry is
estimated to be $75 billion in the United States alone. The
health, beauty and anti-aging industry is estimated to
represent over $500 billion worldwide.
- Control The Key Protein. As an inhibitor of
muscle growth, myostatin regulation has been widely-heralded
as holding a key to many different functions of health, but
has been elusive to researchers since its discovery. Atlas’s
MYO-T12® has solved the puzzle.
- Multiple Markets. MYO-T12 is not only limited to
the exercise and fitness industry. Because of the importance
of myostatin to the body, multiple markets are viable
targets including usage for the age-related health issues,
obesity and diabetes; opening wide the doors for revenue
possibilities.
- Top Notch Team. The Atlas executives are highly
experienced and widely diversified. The CEO/President has
worked on marketing with Hall of Famers such as Emmitt Smith
and Barry Sanders, while other members of the team have
extensive experience in the medical industry.
- Immediate Revenue. MYO-T12 already has brand
identity in the industry and is available for purchase.
Recently, the product has begun listing on Amazon.com as the
national push is underway to exponentially increase sales.
Profile
Millions upon millions of people every day spend countless
hours on their health and appearance. This covers a broad
spectrum of reasons; albeit for muscle development (physical
fitness), bone fide health concerns (disease perhaps) or
even as an anti-aging measure. Because of the wide breadth
of the domain encompassed by the term “health,” the industry
is amazingly large with billions of dollars changing hands
daily as people flock to stores to purchase their product of
choice. For example, the health, beauty and anti-aging
industry alone is estimated to represent over $500 billion
worldwide annually. The nutraceutical industry in the United
States alone is estimated to be approximately $75 billion
presently.
When it comes to general health, maintaining muscle is
critical. Whether it is a twenty year old looking to build
mass or an eighty year old fighting to retain muscle
strength and elasticity, the muscles in our body play a huge
roll in everyday life. Pretty simple. Scientifically, inside
of each of us there is a beta protein called Myostatin (also
sometimes called “growth differentiation factor 8” or
“GDF8”) that is secreted and inhibits muscle differentiation
and growth. Encoded by the MSTN gene and primarily produced
in skeletal muscles, myostatin circulates in the blood and
acts on muscle tissue binding a cell-bound receptor called
activin type II receptor. That’s the “white coat”
explanation. In its easiest terms, myostatin keeps muscles
from growing too large. If you’ve ever seen Liam Hoekstra,
the boy born in 2005 that is often referenced as the
“world’s strongest toddler,” you’ve witnessed the effects of
a myostatin-related change in a person (Hoekstra’s
particular condition is called “myostatinhypertrophy.”)
That is, of course, a simplified explanation of myostatin
and what it does within the body. Research on myostatin and
the myostatin gene is believed to have possibilities for
therapies for muscular dystrophy. Other research has shown
that myostatin may provide a clinical benefit for diseases
such as Type II diabetes and obesity to name a couple.
Biotech companies have been researching and developing
myostatin-related compounds because of its many potential
uses, but as of yet, none have been successful. Wyeth (which
was acquired by Pfizer) moved into clinical trials with
MYO-029, but stopped research after one initial clinical
trial in 2009.
A functional and risk-free drug or nutraceutical that can
regulate myostatin clearly represents a significant
penetration into multiple markets and potentially billions
in revenue. Easy enough to understand why companies have
turned attention towards it.
Examining a few of the potential uses reveals that, in 2004,
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked
obesity as the number one killer and health threat facing
America. It is estimated that 400,000 deaths each year can
be attributed to obesity. Costs associated with obesity
rack-up more than $120 billion each year according to the
NIH (National Institute of Health). Myostatin regulation has
been shown to be effective in weight loss. Always looking to
shed weight, Americans spend about $35 billion dollars a
year on weight-loss products according to a 2009 report by
CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. Presently, the weight loss
industry is tallying $60 billion plus a year.
Diabetes is alarming in its prevalence in the U.S. Nearly 25
percent of the population has been diagnosed as diabetic
with the number of global diagnoses totaling a whopping 285
million people and accounting for nearly a quarter of a
trillion dollars in annual expense on treatment and
prevention. There is belief that myostatin regulation can
play a significant role with lowering these figures as well.
The market demand for a successful mystatin product ranges
into the billions annually and one company that is looking
to tap into this market now is Atlas Therapeutics
Corporation (OTCBB:ATTH). The California-based firm has
acquired MYO-T12® which is the world’s only clinically
validated Myostatin modulator. Atlas’ MYO-T12® is
manufactured to optimize biological activity and could be
set to revolutionize the existing standards of physical
enhancement. It has been clinically validated to reduce the
average serum myostatin levels in the body by up to 46
percent within 12 to 18 hours after one serving. MYO-T12®
already has a brand identity of which Atlas intends to not
only preserve, but exponentially grow through the refinement
of its technical profile and implementation of sales and
marketing campaigns.
Atlas is outstripping any of its distant competition through
a unique approach with MYO-T12®. While efforts of other
research firms have recognized myostatin as a muscle
inhibitor, they have worked towards eliminating the
myostatin gene, which results in undesirable side effects.
MYO-T12® has simplified the process by merely blocking the
myostatin gene – rather than eliminating it – producing the
desired muscle growth effect. Even more importantly,
MYO-T12® has been shown to have no negative side effects.
MYO-T12 also outperforms most muscle enhancers because of a
comparison of method to results. Generally, muscle enhancers
build muscle mass through supplements (creatine is a very
popular one) that breakdown protein to be absorbed into the
body. This means that the body must be worked hard to
achieve results. Various side effects can also be produced.
MYO-T12 does not require the serious work-out to perform
effectively and, as just mentioned, produce no adverse
effects.
Atlas has pulled together a team of diversified,
industry-respected individuals to maximize their efforts to
launch MYO-T12® into the existing health and fitness
community as well as explore other possible therapeutic
potential. J.B. Bernstein, PhD, who serves many positions at
Atlas including CEO and President, has an extensive resume
in sports marketing that include working with Hall of Famers
such as Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders as well as executive
marketing experience with the Upper Deck Company. Carlon M.
Colker, M.D. sits as Chief Medical Officer and Executive VP.
Dr. Colker is an attending physician at Beth Israel Medical
Center in New York City and at Greenwich Hospital in
Greenwich, Connecticut as well as heading Peak Wellness,
Inc., an integrative medical healthcare provider focused on
private, personal medical and healthcare coupled with
nutrition, diet, and weight loss counseling, sports
rehabilitation, physical therapy, and exercise physiology.
Additionally, Atlas has recently added Dr. Louis Aronne, a
leading authority in the field of obesity research and
treatment, as a member of its board of directors. Dr. Robert
Hariri, the Commissioner of Cancer Research in New Jersey
and CEO of Celgene Cellular Therapeutics, a division of
Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG), is an investor in Atlas and also an
advisor to the Atlas’ Board. The team is reflective of the
broad spectrum that Atlas intends to cover with its MYO-T12
product.
Drawing upon the experience and connections of its executive
team, Atlas intends to take a multi-prong approach to send
MYO-T12 mainstream. The massive “work-out” category is a
prime initial target for which Bernstein’s marketing
background will help shepherd through widespread
distribution. As a nutraceutical, no FDA approval is
required which makes the roll-out much more expeditious. The
aging global population will also be another first tier
demographic for Atlas. In the U.S. alone, more than 80
million people will be over the age of 55 next year and 35.9
million will be over the age 65. Given the fact that between
35% and 45% of these people will be diagnosed as having
sarcopenia (weakening of skeletal muscles which fuels
osteoporosis), this provides another large mark for Atlas to
sell their products. As mentioned above, because of its
weight loss and muscle building capacities, obesity patients
– and perhaps even diabetics – are also part of the Atlas
business strategies.
There is no contesting that marketing is king for any
product and a significant hurdle for many smaller firms.
Atlas has catapulted this hurdle already by signing the
biggest name ever in the game of hockey – and one of the
greatest sports figures of all time – Wayne Gretzky as
spokesman for MYO-T12’s primary national promotion and
marketing team.
(Technical
chart as of Oct 12, 11) Technically
speaking, the ATTH chart is near its 52 week low presently,
which can be a sign for traders to take notice. A brief dip
in yesterday’s trading took the stock below a support level
at 20 cents, but the share value pulled back to the $0.20
mark to close the day right where it closed yesterday. 20
cents will serve as a miner area of resistance, but the
upside beyond that is significant with resistance not
entering again for more than 30 percent, in the area of 27
cents. The 50 day moving average, coupled with some static
resistance comes at $0.37.
Volume has been on the decline since August as the price has
slid mildly lower. Volume slowing is typically a good
indication that any sellers are out of shares and now the
play just is lying in wait of a catalyst to spark a volume
spike and buying pressure. Traders know that low volume
plays can move quickly, so those alerted to the new low at
$0.16 (the new bottom support level) will be watching for
volume to enter the play to potentially drive the stock
towards resistance levels.
Commonly used indicators such as the Relative Strength Index
(RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)
are also giving hints of potential upward movement. The RSI
has bounce off the area of 30 on numerous occasions, a sign
of buying activity before a stock can reach oversold levels.
The MACD has been trending upward for two months as the
price per share has been sliding. This “positive divergence”
is an indication that the trend of the stock could be ready
to shift direction.
Trying to catch the absolute bottom of any stock chart can
get tricky, but can also be very rewarding. The key is to
wait for opportune occasions and pounce on them when they
show up. But that being said, investors need to always
be prepared for the possibility that the stock is not done
falling, so stop losses in those cases are crucial. In the
particular case of ATTH, stop losses just below the bottom
support level of $0.16 may prove wise, just in case the
stock does not go in the desired direction. As always, this
is only AllPennyStocks.com's assessment of the ATTH
technical chart and we strongly encourage all investors to
perform their own due diligence and consult with a financial
advisor prior to making any trades.
Potential investors are not looking at a developmental
company that is years away from substantial revenue. Atlas
already has MYO-T12 on the market and has kicked-off a large
scale national marketing campaign. Moreover, capitalizing on
the trend shift to purchase products online, MYO-T12 is now
listed for sale on Amazon.com. With the team in place that
parallels a big board company, a world-class spokesman and a
product that literally has no competition as it’s a
first-to-market product, Atlas appears to be well-positioned
for significant growth in the future. Because of their
multiple-prong approach for growth which begins in a
multi-billion dollar industry and the reasons mentioned
above, we at AllPennyStocks.com have decided to turn our
next U.S. corporate spotlight on Atlas Therapeutics
Corporation (OTCBB:ATTH) and encourage our members to begin
their due diligence on the Company and add it to their
watchlist.
