GNC's Jones said: "We are really excited about the innovation in areas like peptides or even botanicals where you're findings solutions through the more advanced discovery technologies that could at a very very low dose have very positive effects on muscle performance and muscle mass, like Nuritas has the PeptiStrong peptides. There are some dileucine peptides that we find very interesting and even some of these botanical solutions—that I think PLT Health Solutions referenced a few—that at a very very small dose, you can really some benefits."
