(MISSOULA, MT) December 22, 2009 – The USPTO has awarded Patent #7,629,329 to TSI Health Sciences, Inc. (TSI) for their industry-leading sports nutrition ingredient PEAK ATP®. The new, broad patented claims cover methods for increasing muscle strength and muscle mass through oral supplementation of ATP, as well as steps of administering an effective amount of ATP. The announcement was made by Larry Kolb, president, TSI US Operations in Missoula, MT.
“This newly awarded patent grants TSI extensive protections for PEAK ATP® as a sports nutritional ingredient through a wide range of dosing forms,” commented Kolb. “TSI is excited about the enhanced protection this patent brings to the company’s fast growing sports nutrition customer base,” Kolb added.

TSI’s patent covers ATP use alone and in combination of a wide variety of popular sports nutrition ingredients.
Produced through a proprietary fermentation process, PEAK ATP® delivers the exact molecule the human body needs to create energy. Clinical studies have shown that PEAK ATP® has a dramatic effect on circulation without adversely affecting heart rate or blood pressure. As circulation is the primary vehicle for delivering glucose, nutrients and oxygen to all tissue cells, PEAK ATP® has applications for energy, athletic performance and anti-aging.
While ATP powers nearly every human function, ATP levels decline with age and in response to stress. Low ATP stores are associated with impaired organ and muscle function. Research shows that PEAK ATP® can elevate the body’s intracellular and extracellular levels of ATP.

“TSI is committed to developing and producing groundbreaking ingredients to provide its manufacturing partners with a significant advantage in bringing proven, efficacious products to market,” says Kolb.
