Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, or HMB for short, is a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), leucine. Only approximately 5% of leucine is naturally converted to HMB in the body. HMB is believed to help reduce the breakdown of the muscles and therefore aids in maintaining muscle mass, however, HMB supplements are not typically categorised as an anabolic supplement as their role in muscle protein synthesis is said to be limited.
HMB naturally occurs in a variety of goods, including alfalfa, grapefruit, and particular types of fish. The use of HMB tablets and HMB powders can therefore boost your intake of this HMB amino acid without having to significantly adjust your diet.
We offer a wide range of HMB tablets and HMB powders, across a variety of popular and well-respected brands such as Applied Nutrition and Extreme Labs. These HMB capsules are easy to take on the go and fit into your busy workout routine and healthy diet.
