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 (an amino acid). HMB shows
strong anabolic and anticatabolic properties. After each intense workout or during
stress, human body gets into catabolic state, which destroys muscle protein.
In order to prevent it to an extent, human defensive mechanism produces
beta hydroxy-methylbutyrate (HMB). It protects muscle proteins and enhances
deriving energy from fat deposits hence reducing fat tissue. HMB is usually used
by 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 develop muscles. |
