What if your muscles aren’t failing—but simply missing what they need? Discover how to stop muscle loss and build strength for life.
Your doctor asks, “How are you feeling?” You say, “I feel fine.” But what if “fine” is masking something dangerous? You might be walking daily, staying active or even exercising. But under the surface, your muscles could be fading. And with them—your strength, balance, recovery time and independence.
This is the progressive threat of sarcopenia—the age-related loss of muscle mass and function. It doesn’t happen overnight. It creeps in slowly, subtly. And by the time you notice it, everyday activities can become exhausting… or even unsafe.
Here’s the good news:
Muscle loss is not irreversible. Muscle can be restored at any age. And it can happen more quickly than you think. Your muscles are living tissue. They respond to nourishment, movement, and support—even in your 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. It’s not too late. You’re not too far gone. And your age is not the limit—your body is still capable of muscle growth.
Why is that so important?
Because muscle isn’t just about strength—it’s about survival. Your muscles help you stand, walk, lift, balance, and recover from illness and surgery. They store amino acids your body uses in times of stress, illness, or injury. They stabilize your bones, protect your joints, and even help regulate your blood sugar and metabolism.
Muscle health is life health.
When you lose muscle, you don’t just lose power—you lose resilience, energy, and independence. But when you restore muscle, you restore hope. You gain back stability. Confidence. Motivation. Freedom. Independence.
And it doesn’t take extreme workouts to make a difference.
Muscle Loss Is Not Just About Strength—It’s About Survival
After the age of 30, we lose 3–8% of muscle mass per decade. That rate doubles after 70. And it’s not just about feeling weaker—it’s about:
- Falling more easily
- Taking longer to recover from an injury, illness or surgery
- Losing the ability to climb stairs, lift, rise, or move freely
- Needing assistance where there used to be independence
Your muscles aren’t just for movement. They’re your body’s emergency recovery system—providing amino acids during illness, surgery or stress. When muscles fade, recovery slows… Risks rise… And, independence is often the price.
But here’s what most people don’t realize:
- You don’t have to feel weak to be getting weaker.
- You don’t have to look frail to be losing muscle.
- And you don’t have to accept this decline as “just aging.”
The Missing Key: Essential Amino Acids
Even with a balanced diet, your body may not absorb enough essential amino acids (EAAs)—the critical building blocks your muscles need to stay strong.
As we age, digestion slows. Enzyme production drops. The protein from food (and even protein powders) can’t be fully broken down or utilized. That means your muscles stay undernourished—no matter how well you eat.
MyoHealth® is a breakthrough amino acid formula developed by renowned muscle health researcher, Dr. Robert Wolfe.
The Science Behind MyoHealth
The MyoHealth formula is the first U.S.-patented supplement to deliver all 9 essential amino acids in a clinically proven ratio. Unlike food or protein powders, MyoHealth contains free-form amino acids that don’t need to be digested and are ready for immediate absorption.
This means:
- Increased lean muscle mass
- Better balance and mobility
- Faster recovery
- Reduced fatigue
- Stronger bones and joints
- Improved healing after an injury, illness or surgery
Backed by 25 human clinical trials and over $20 million in research funding, the MyoHealth formula is trusted by Olympic committees, NASA and medical institutions—and now, it’s trusted by thousands of TriVita Members just like you.
The 60-Day MyoHealth Challenge
This isn’t just another supplement. It’s a full-body comeback plan.
We invite you to take the 60-Day MyoHealth Challenge, a simple, powerful regimen that will help you rebuild muscle, restore energy and recover faster.
Here’s how it works:
- Take 1 scoop twice daily for the first 60 days
- Pair it with light movement—even a walk improves amino acid delivery
- Hydrate, nourish and track your progress
- Watch how your body responds—many users feel stronger within weeks
This is your personal challenge to say “no” to age-related muscle loss and rise again… Stronger. Balanced. Energized. Confident.
MyoHealth: The Mike Fox Story
Sometimes it takes a moment of crisis to discover just how much strength your body truly holds. Mike Fox had one of those moments—a life-threatening health scare that left him frail, depleted and struggling to recover. His strength was gone… along with his independence.
Mike Fox lost his muscle, strength and confidence after a serious health scare.
“I couldn’t walk; I couldn’t get up… My skin lost color, and I was weak. Then a friend at Church told me about MyoHealth.”
Mike began taking two scoops twice a day and felt a difference in just four days: “It brought me back to life. I now recommend MyoHealth to everyone. My wife and I are back to doing mission work. I’m so grateful.”
You’re not too old. You’re not too far gone.
You may just be missing the essential support your body is craving.
From Research to Real Life
Dr. Robert Wolfe, creator of the MyoHealth formula, spent more than 40 years studying muscle loss and amino acid absorption. His work with the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Defense and the International Olympic Committee helped to build this formula.
Now it’s your turn to experience it.
“I know MyoHealth will work if you commit to the 60-Day Challenge. I’ve seen the results—and you can too.” – Dr. Robert Wolfe, Ph.D.
