YOLKED® FAQ
SECTION 1: FORTETROPIN® BASICS
Fortetropin is the active ingredient in YOLKED®. It is derived from raw fertile egg yolk using a patented process that retains the natural bioactivity of the biomolecules in the yolk.
Fortetropin is a powerful muscle builder. It is shown to:
- In a study at the University of Tampa, Fortetropin was shown to increase rate of muscle growth vs placebo, as well as lower levels of circulating myostatin.
- In a study at the University of California-Berkeley, Fortetropin was shown to increase the fractional rate of muscle protein synthesis vs placebo.
Myostatin is a protein in your body that “puts the brakes” on the development of new muscle tissue. Myostatin acts to ensure that you do not gain too much muscle mass; gaining too much muscle mass would put strain on your skeletal system and could possibly lead to fractures. Reducing myostatin levels will help you gain more lean muscle mass.

SECTION 2: USAGE GUIDE
YOLKED can be eaten on its own or mixed with foods/drinks like yogurt, protein shake, or a fruit smoothie. We recommend YOLKED not be mixed with water as it is not water soluble.
YOLKED should not be cooked with or encounter high heat. Cooking with YOLKED will denature the proteins in the product and render it less effective.
The recommended daily dosage of Fortetropin is 6.6g, the amount found in one serving of YOLKED.
In the University of Tampa clinical study there was no significant difference between the control group that consumed one serving of Fortetropin per day and the group that took three servings per day. However, we have received anecdotal testimonials from athletes who claim taking multiple doses per day increased their results.
The clinical research done on Fortetropin does not indicate a specific time of day in which it should be consumed. YOLKED is often taken by athletes and fitness enthusiasts as part of a post-workout nutritional program, however it can be enjoyed at any time of day.
For optimal results, Fortetropin should be consumed in conjunction with resistance training. However, it should be noted that in the Cal-Berkeley study, the Fortetropin group experienced increased muscle protein synthesis with no additional exercise - suggesting potential muscle health efficacy independent of exercise.

SECTION 4: TAKING YOLKED vs EATING EGGS
There are two main differences between taking YOLKED and eating eggs:
- Fortetropin is derived from fertilized egg yolk while eggs bought at supermarket are typically not fertilized.
- Fortetropin is not cooked. By avoiding contact with heat, Fortetropin retains its full nutrient profile and muscle-building efficacy.
Raw fertilized egg yolk may contain many harmful microorganisms that can make you very sick. Microorganisms that are associated with raw egg yolk such as Salmonella can cause infections that can possibly even lead to death.
In addition to enhanced safety, YOLKED is delicious, has a long shelf life, and is convenient to store/transport/use.
While cooking eggs destroys harmful microorganisms that can make you sick, it also destroys some of the bioactivity in egg yolk that provide the product’s potent efficacy.
During the cooking process, proteins become denatured, and lipids become oxidized, thus reducing bioactivity.
Fertilized egg yolk is enriched in proteins involved in angiogenesis along with proteins involved in host defense when compared with unfertilized egg yolk.
See: Padliya, Neerav D., et al. "The impact of fertilization on the chicken egg yolk plasma and granule proteome 24 hours post-lay at room temperature: capitalizing on high-pH/low-pH reverse phase chromatography in conjunction with tandem mass tag (TMT) technology." Food & function 6.7 (2015): 2303-2314.
The serving size of YOLKED contains 6.6g of Fortetropin. This is equal to 2/3 of one egg yolk. One whole egg contains 187 mg of cholesterol. 6.6 grams of Fortetropin contains 125 mg of cholesterol.
SECTION 3: SAFETY & LEGALITY
YOLKED is Certified for Sport by NSF, a universally respected organization lauded as the gold standard in testing by USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency). NSF has performed numerous, rigorous tests on YOLKED and has stated firmly and unequivocally that it does not contain any banned substances.
In our clinical study involving healthy males between 18-21 years of age, we did not observe any significant differences in serum cholesterol levels between the groups that consumed Fortetropin and the group that consumed the placebo. Whenever starting a new supplement, please first consult your physician to see if it is right for you.
Fortetropin should not be consumed by anyone with an allergy to eggs.
