HMB is a
supplement intended for enhancing physical activity of strength, power, and
endurance athletes as well as physically active individuals.
HMB is a short-chained fatty acid, which is synthesized in the body from leucine (one of
amino acids). HMB shows strong anabolic and anticatabolic properties. After each intense
workout or during stress human body gets into catabolism, which destroys muscle protein.
In order to prevent it partially, human defensive mechanism produces beta hydroxy-methylbutyrate
(HMB). It protects muscle protein and enhances deriving energy from fat deposits
hence reducing fat tissue.
HMB is usually used by the athletes who want to build lean muscle mass. Adequate HMB
supplementation speeds up the regeneration after training, increases the protein utilization
rate, and stimulates your body to muscle gain.
The highest concentration of pure HMB (95-99%) is characteristic of Liquid HMB. The
supplement is in the form of very thick and very sour liquid.
