Experimental & Applied Sciences, Inc (better known as "EAS") is the world's largest distributor of performance based Nutritional Supplements with approximately 300 staff, annual sales exceeding $300 million dollars and offices/distributors in 54 countries. In 2005 EAS was purchased by Abbott Laboratories and now exists as a solely owned division of Abbott.

EAS was founded in Pacific Grove , Monterey County, California in 1992 by a Biochemist named Anthony Almada, and a Businessman named Ed Byrd . After discovering the possible benefits for athletes of Creatine Monohydrate supplementation, in December of 1992 they acquired a kilogram of creatine and began trials on themselves.

]]In 1993 Almada and Byrd released the first commercially available creatine supplement designed specifically for strength and muscle enhancement under the EAS brand name '' Phosphagen ''. That same year their discovery caught the eye of Bill Phillips , publisher of the Anabolic Reference Guide, and he began to write about its benefits in the "Natural Supplement Review" and his subscriber based newsletters. Phillips was so impressed that in 1994 he purchased EAS from Almada and Byrd. Phillips' loyal subscriber base was the perfect platform to which to tout his new acquisition, and it was from here that EAS growth really began.
