HMB works by slowing protein breakdown and speeding up protein synthesis in repair.
HMB is also a vital structural component used to maintain the integrity of muscle cell membranes, protecting them from damage and supporting rebuild.
When first discovered, HMB was overhyped and went from zero to superhero, with all kinds of ridiculous claims being made by the big brands. Naturally, when people began to realize that it was not delivering the promised results, HMB went from superhero to zero in no time at all.
The reality however is and has been all along that HMB like any true supplement, it supplements, it’s not the magic potion the big brands promised it to be, but it does have profound benefits.

HMB Benefits
HMB promotes advantageous changes in body composition and stimulates an increase in aerobic and anaerobic capacity in combat sports athletes.
HMB enhances your recovery from, and adaptation to all types of training. It is a product that can be used by all athletes that are training hard, and at high volume, regardless of their sporting event.
Increases strength when training involves movements like deadlifts, squats and bench press.
Speeds improvements in endurance performance when training involves running, cycling and rowing
Increases muscle mass gains when training to increase strength.
Reduces the recovery time needed between training sessions.
Reduces blood indicators of muscle cell damage after high training loads.
Health benefits such as reduced blood pressure and cholesterol level.
Dosage
HMB at 3g per day is considered an effective supplementation dose. This is usually broken down into two to three doses a day. This is because HMB is cleared from the system relatively quickly.
We also have HMB capsules available if you don’t like the taste of the powder and don’t mind the extra cost. Capsules are always significantly more expensive than powders and usually only provide an advantage when the product tastes bad enough to stop you from taking it as a powder.
If you use creatine because you want to build more strength and muscle mass, you might want to consider combining it with HMB. A Polish-American study from 2001 suggests that HMB and creatine reinforce each other’s effect on maximal strength and lean body mass.
International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Position Statement on HMB HMB is one of the most researched supplement ingredients proven to improve athletic performance, right behind creatine. As a result, HMB and creatine are two of a select few supplement ingredients to have been assessed by the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN). As a result, the ISSN has issued position statements attesting to their effectiveness. Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) bases the following position stand on a critical analysis of the literature on the use of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) as a nutritional supplement. The ISSN has concluded the following. 1. HMB can be used to enhance recovery by attenuating exercise induced skeletal muscle damage in trained and untrained populations. 2. If consuming HMB, an athlete will benefit from consuming the supplement in close proximity to their workout. 3. HMB appears to be most effective when consumed for 2 weeks prior to an exercise bout. 4. Thirty-eight mg per kg·BM-1 daily of HMB has been demonstrated to enhance skeletal muscle hypertrophy, strength, and power in untrained and trained populations when the appropriate exercise prescription is utilized. 5. Currently, two forms of HMB have been used: Calcium HMB (HMB-Ca) and a free acid form of HMB (HMB-FA). HMB-FA may increase plasma absorption and retention of HMB to a greater extent than HMB-CA. However, research with HMB-FA is in its infancy, and there is not enough research to support whether one form is superior. 6. HMB has been demonstrated to increase LBM and functionality in elderly, sedentary populations. 7. HMB ingestion in conjunction with a structured exercise program may result in greater declines in fat mass (FM). 8. HMB’s mechanisms of action include an inhibition and increase of proteolysis and protein synthesis, respectively. 9. Chronic consumption of HMB is safe in both young and old populations.
