Abbott boosts EAS brand with new products for athletes

ABBOTT PARK, Ill. — Abbott on Wednesday announced that its EAS sports nutrition brand has launched a new line of performance nutrition products.

The lineup includes EAS Recovery protein powder, EAS Lean 15 protein powder, EAS Myoplex original with Revigor and EAS Myoplex 30 bars. All of the products are designed to rapidly deliver needed nutrients to fatigued muscles and help athletes recover and build muscle, the company said.

"Nutrition to enhance athletic performance involves not only what to eat, but when to eat it," said Keith Wheeler, global director of performance nutrition, research and development at Abbott. "When athletes don't consume important nutrients in the right ratios at the right time, they will deplete their bodies and compromise their ability to perform. The new EAS recovery products are scientifically formulated to rapidly replenish muscles after a workout with needed nutrients."

EAS products are available at grocery, mass and specialty retailers nationwide.
