Nutrition and exercise guru Anthony Almada uses creatine to boost muscle development when combined with weight training and exercise. He partners with businessman Ed Byrd to start EAS and releases the first commercially available creatine supplement, Phosphagen.
Phosphagen catches the eye of Bill Phillips, editor of "Muscle Media Magazine." He is so impressed with EAS that he buys the company and launches Myoplex, a high-protein shake that will set the standard for all other nutritional supplements.
EAS pioneers a university research program resulting in over 15 published clinical studies on the efficacy of its nutritional supplements.
Out comes the call for stories of personal transformation in a contest called The EAS Grand Spokesperson Challenge. This becomes known as the Body-for-LIFE Challenge. It transforms the bodies of millions of people and continues to do so.
