HMB Calcium

The compound β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate calcium, abbreviated HMB-Ca, is widely found in citrus fruits, certain vegetables such as broccoli, legumes such as alfalfa, and certain fish and seafood products. Due to the active nature of HMB, Calcium salts are widely used, such as food additives, dietary additives and so on.

Can promote protein synthesis and reduce its breakdown

• thereby increasing human body strength
• delay muscle fatigue
• also help prevent muscle atrophy in the elderly

HMB is also being used as a new nutritional supplement to increase strength and muscle mass.

There are small amounts of HMB present in many foods, primarily catfish, grapefruit, and alfalfa. Many of the world's champions and athletes are using HMB and receiving dramatic results.

Specifically, HMB plays a role in the synthesis of muscle tissue. It has the ability to burn fat and build muscle consistently in response to exercise. Backed heavily by science, HMB works for NFL greats like Shannon Sharpe and Olympic medal lists throughout the globe.

New scientific studies are being conducted on this supplement all the time. Recently, a study showed in a control group supplementing with HMB, that after taking 3 grams of HMB per day for three weeks, those who took HMB versus the random placebo takers gained three times more muscle on their bench press!

Animal studies also suggest that it may increase lean muscle mass. A study conducted on humans showed that those who supplemented with HMB experienced enhanced strength, greater endurance, and increased fat loss.

It's ability to boost endurance alone is an incredible result. A seven weeklong study showed a much greater gain in muscle when a group of 28 participated in a regular weight-training program. How does HMB do all this? It appears to increase the rate of protein being used to increase muscle growth, while decreasing the atrophy or tear down of muscle that occurs.
