HMB, also known as beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, is a metabolite derived from Leucine, one of the three essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).
Leucine stands out as a pivotal amino acid due to its significant influence on muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
Remarkably, HMB exhibits potency 20 times greater than Leucine, requiring only 1 gram of HMB to match the muscle-supporting effects of 20 grams of Leucine.
In moments of intense physical exertion or muscle strain, Leucine undergoes conversion into HMB, amplifying its capacity to preserve muscle mass and more.
HMB may offer the following benefits:
- Minimize muscle loss
- Foster muscle growth
- Improve exercise performance
- Bolster immune function
- Facilitate fat loss and optimize body composition
Usage guidelines:
Take 2 capsules of HMB twice daily with meals or around workout sessions, or as advised by your healthcare provider.
