Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology and other peer reviewed publications has suggested that HMB may have an effect on increasing muscle weight and strength.* Three grams of HMB per day can help highly trained muscles combat protein breakdown, assist in muscle repair and support increased endurance.*

Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is an important metabolite of the essential branched chain amino acid (BCAA) L-Leucine. Human and animal studies suggest protein breakdown and support significant increases in muscle strength and size when combined with intense resistance training (1,2,3)*

Optimum Nutrition's HMB Capsules are produced and packaged in our own state-of-the-art, OTC approved manufacturing facility. Each capsule provides 1000 mg (1 g) of pure beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB).

Recovery ability		I do take other supplements as well, though I do think this has been a great addition, it's really helpful in the muscle recovery process.

Upset stomach	After 2 weeks of using this i had some wierd stomach problems and pain on my chest.


Fat loss		I used it to cut bodyfat and the muscle sparring qualities of HMB are real and science backed.


Muscle gain		I am a hard gainer and it's nice to see lean muscle gains and not fat around my abs.

Anti-catabolic		HMB, with it's anti-catabolic abilities, is of particular interest to me.
Fat loss		I really enjoy doing cardio on an empty stomach in the morning, and for the last 6 weeks since I started HMB usage, I was able to lose the last bit of stubborn fat without sacrificing much in the form of muscle weight.
Ingredient profile		HMB is one of my favorite ingredients, especially since I tend to be in cutting/maintaining mode year round.
Ingredient profile		No hype, no outrageous advertising, just plain good, high quality ingredients.
Ingredient profile		but in an arsenal of ingredients, along with a sound diet and dedicated regimen, ON HMB proves itself to be a valuable tool.


Recovery ability		I'd say toward the end of week two I was experiencing less soreness when i incorporated higher intensity techniques such as drop sets, supersets etc. I'd highly recommend this product to aid in recovery from workouts.
