What is HMB
HMB is an abbreviation for hydroxymethyl butyrate or 3-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid. Quite a mouthful. After processing the amino acid L-leucine, this is the product that is created after combustion.
When cells in the body burn proteins containing leucine, HMB is created. The usual amounts used in studies were approximately 3 grams per day. L-Leucine is gaining popularity as an excellent amino acid for bodybuilders and strength athletes. HMB has the advantages that it does not cause fat or water retention, is not stimulating and does not affect hormones.
With 900 mg per capsule
HMB is produced in small quantities in the body as a metabolic product resulting from the breakdown of the essential branched-chain amino acid L-leucine. However, the intake of L-leucine would have to be too high to achieve the desired effect. For this reason, the product is made in an ideal and accessible form and consists of 900 mg HMB per capsule. This product has been specially developed for athletes and is suitable for both off-season and during preparation for competitions. HMB is suitable for long-term and continuous use.
