HMB

HMB, or beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, is a metabolite of Leucine, one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs).

Leucine is considered the king of the amino acids because it has such a profound impact on MPS (muscle protein synthesis). HMB is 20x stronger than Leucine as it takes 20g of Leucine to produce just 1g of potent HMB.

During intense physical activity or muscle stress, Leucine undergoes conversion into HMB, contributing to its muscle sparing benefits and may reduce muscle loss, support muscle growth, enhance exercise performance and support fat loss & body composition goals.

Shows promising benefits for people over 40, particularly in helping to preserve or support muscle mass, strength, and function as age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) becomes more common.
