BURLINGTON, ON, Sept. 18, 2024 /CNW/ - Promino Nutritional Sciences Inc. (CSE: MUSL) (OTC: MUSLF) (FRANKFURT: 93X) (the "Company" or "Promino") has announced the commencement of the preclinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Promino™ patented IP for the retention of muscle mass in cancer patients undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatment.

Results of the preclinical trials are expected in 10 weeks. If testing affirms the effectiveness of the patented IP in retaining muscle mass in chemotherapy patients, the Company will likely develop a specialized formula specifically for marketing to the practitioner channel in North America.
"Promino's patented essential amino acid blend may have value beyond being the purest1 source of digestible protein, but a powerful tool for patients undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatment," said Promino's Chief Executive Officer, Vito Sanzone. "Chemotherapy can cause significant muscle-wasting, further compromising the patient's much needed strength, and Promino may provide these patients a helpful tool in their fight."
Furthermore, following the Company's latest corporate update on June 3, 2024, Promino has achieved the following milestones:
Retail and e-commerce partnership announcements with Vitacost, iHerb and Jean Coutu
