HMB

Beta-hydroxy beta-methyl-butyrate (HMB)

• A muscle restoration supplement derived from the amino acid leucine
• Slows muscle protein breakdown and supports protein synthesis
• Supports muscle recovery after intense resistance training
• Helps protect and preserve lean muscle mass during training
• 1500mg formula, taken with protein-containing meals

For athletes in intense weight and resistance training, HMB offers support for muscle strength, lean muscle gains, faster recovery, and the protection and preservation of muscle during training. HMB 1500 helps minimize muscle breakdown during a session and directly supports muscle tissue repair. The harder you train, the more these effects tend to matter.

How HMB Supports Muscle Recovery

• What HMB is: HMB is a compound the body makes from leucine, one of the essential amino acids. Only a small fraction of leucine converts to HMB, which is why lifters take it directly as a dietary supplement.
• How it Protects Muscle: HMB works mainly by slowing the breakdown of muscle proteins, which supports recovery after hard resistance exercise and may reduce exercise-induced muscle damage.
• Who it Suits: It is used during strength training and hard training blocks, and it is also studied for protecting against muscle loss in older adults and periods of reduced physical activity.
• How HMB Compares: HMB is not a replacement for whey protein or creatine monohydrate. Protein supplies the building blocks and creatine drives output, while HMB works on the breakdown side. Many lifters take all three.
• How to Take HMB: Consistency matters more than timing. Take it daily with meals through a training block, since HMB works on an ongoing basis rather than as a single pre-workout dose.
