HMB ß-Hydroxy ß-Methylbutyrate

Original price $35.95
Current price $34.95

HMB (β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and is known for its role in muscle health, performance, and recovery. Here’s what it’s good for:

  • Helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis (similar to leucine but more potent in some cases).
  • Supports muscle hypertrophy, especially when combined with resistance training.
  • May enhance strength gains, particularly in beginners or those returning to training after a break.
  • HMB reduces muscle protein breakdown, making it beneficial during:
    • High-intensity training to minimize muscle damage.
    • Caloric deficits or weight cuts to preserve muscle.
    • Periods of inactivity or injury recovery to prevent muscle loss.
  • Reduces muscle damage from intense training, leading to faster recovery.
  • Decreases delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after hard workouts.
  • Some studies suggest HMB can improve VO2 max and overall endurance.
  • Reduces markers of muscle fatigue during prolonged exercise.
  • May promote fat loss while preserving lean muscle, making it useful during cutting phases.
  • Helps combat age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) in older adults.
  • Can aid in injury recovery by preventing excessive muscle atrophy.
  • Athletes & Bodybuilders (for muscle growth, recovery, and performance).
  • Individuals in a calorie deficit (to preserve muscle while cutting).
  • Aging adults (to maintain muscle mass).
  • Those recovering from injury (to prevent muscle loss during inactivity).
  • Recommended dose: 3g per day, often split into 1g doses.
  • Best timing: 30–60 minutes before training or spread throughout the day.
  • Forms available: Free acid HMB (fast absorption) and HMB calcium salt (slower but still effective).
