Free from Gluten, Wheat, yeast, dairy and sugar. Beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of the amino acid Leucine and is synthesized in the human body. It plays a part in protein synthesis and was discovered by Dr. Steve Nissen in scientific studies to purportedly increase muscle mass and decrease muscle breakdown. Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology and other peer reviewed publications has shown that HMB may have an effect on increasing muscle weight and strength. Three grams of HMB per day may help muscles combat protein breakdown, assist in muscle repair and support increased endurance. Also, well-controlled scientific studies have found increases in muscle mass and decreases in body fat.

Research on HMB (Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbuterate) has conclusively proven to prevent the destruction of muscle tissue that occurs subsequent to strenuous exercise, specifically intensive resistance (weight) training. HMB has therefore become an essential supplement for elite athletes, body builders and sportsmen to assist in preserving muscle and power that is gained during weight training. Studies on power athletes supplementing with HMB have shown to increase muscle mass and power by up to 14%% without lowering fitness levels. Recovery time between vigorous training sessions was also significantly reduced. Furthermore, HMB has also been shown to preserve muscle tissue during periods when athletes are training and dieting to reduce body fat.
