HMB is especially recommended for power, endurance - power and rapidity - power
athletes, as well as for highly active people. HMB is a short chained fatty acid, which
is produced from leucine - an amino acid - in the body. After intense physical activity
and during long-lasting states of stress, the human body induces catabolic processes,
which destroy muscle proteins. In order to act against this process, the human body’s
defensive mechanism produces hydroxy-methylbutyric acid - commonly called HMB.
Its role is to protect the muscle proteins and stimulates the energy derived from fat
reserves - at the same time increasing the reduction rate of fat tissue. Appropriate
application of HMB speeds up the process of post-workout regeneration, increases
the use of body proteins - in this way stimulating the body to build muscle tissue. HMB
is most frequently used in building lean muscle mass. |
