Common Uses

Benefits may include, faster recovery, lean muscle tissue gains, enhanced endurance, strength increases, body fat utilisation/loss, enhanced energy, muscle tissue break-down suppression. HMB is a metabolite of the essential amino acid L-Leucine. A major problem in trying to build muscle is the amount of muscle broken down from training (two steps forward one step back), and also the protein robbing effect of muscles exercised using protein from non-worked areas. By minimising this loss, by supplementing with a NFS Super Whey protein, excellent fat free gains in lean muscle tissue can be achieved.

Suggested Dosage

As a dietary supplement take 4 capsules per day, On training days take 2 capsules within half an hour after your workout and 2 capsules just before going to bed. On rest days take 2 capsules in the morning and two before bed. Alternatively take 4 capsules spread throughout the day with meals.

Health Information

HMB stands for Beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid L-Luecine. HMB is produced by the body, about 0.3grams to 1gram a day. In studies HMB is has shown to reduce protein breakdown after stress, i.e. working outs, subsequently causes gains in strength and mass. There are basically to ways to promote greater gains 1. By increasing the rate of protein synthesis, which some believe to be impossible. 2. To reduce protein breakdown. HMB has shown to reduce protein breakdown, after resistance training. Research studies have shown that it can produce as much as 20%-30% more growth. A study done on three grounds of trainers undertook identical physical exercise and diet programs. One group consumed 3 grams of HMB a day, the second group consumed 1.5grams of HMB a day, the last group consumed took a placebo. The group who consumed 3 grams a day had gained 55% more lean mass than the placebo group. Coupled with 295% greater strength gains. Studies have shown the HMB to reduce post training muscle breakdown by 20% to 50%. Thus improving recovery and gaining greater muscular growth. The latest research is showing some unexpected but very exciting benefits from HMB use. Studies have indicated that HMB also encourages greater muscle growth and even greater fat loss in women. The women who used HMB has some rather astounding progress. The women on HMB had strength increases of 77% over the placebo group. Plus gaining an astounding 200% more muscle and 300% greater FAT LOSS than the placebo group. The study performed by Dr Cheng at state University of New York at Stony Brook, revealed that when muscle cells were exposed to HMB in a test tube they burned fat faster. In other words, HMB may help people more efficiently utilise body fat stores for fuel, thus both decreasing stored fat and sparing protein and carbohydrates for muscle building and energy production.
