HMB - Tablets

HMB

β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate or more commonly known as HMB is a metabolite of the branched chain amino acid of leucine, one of the most important amino acids for muscle building. HMB is known to decrease muscle protein breakdown, increase muscle mass as well as reduce muscle soreness.

In order to build muscle, protein synthesis must exceed protein breakdown, if protein breakdown exceeds synthesis then muscle will be lost.

HMB helps maintain high levels of protein in the body which provide your body with the required amount of energy to make the most of your workouts.

Because HMB helps reduce the amount of soreness from exercise induced muscle damage and speeds up the amount of time needed for recovery you can expect to see improvements in strength, muscle mass, aerobic capacity and overall fitness when used in combination with a resistance training program.

What are the benefits of HMB?

HMB helps increase strength and lean body mass by acting as an anticatabolic agent; which means it significantly reduces damage to cells and minimizes protein breakdown which is very common during intense exercise.

Published studies have shown HMB supplements improve the effects of weight training, improves endurance and significantly assists in recovery.

Therefore, supplementation with HMB can enhance gains in lean body mass, muscle hypertrophy and even muscle strength.

When should you take HMB?

To get the maximum benefits, we recommend taking two servings (1 serving = 2 tablets) throughout the day, before or during meals. In order to see substantial results HMB supplementation works best when combined with cardiovascular and resistance-based exercise.
