Discover HMB Benefits: Boost Endurance & Body Composition

October 06, 2016 - Admin

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. Some studies found that HMB prevented muscle protein breakdown, stimulated muscle growth and promoted fat breakdown. Krzysztof Durkalec-Michalski and Jan Jeszka from Poznan University in Poland found that 58 well-trained athletes taking three grams of HMB (the same amount found in Advanced Molecular Labs Muscle Growth Post-Workout Stack) daily for 12 weeks showed increases in maximal oxygen consumption and decreased fat mass, compared to a placebo (fake HMB). Creatine kinase— a marker of muscle breakdown— was also lower with HMB. HMB improves aerobic capacity, enhances body composition, reduces body fat, prevents muscle breakdown, and increases peak power output, making it an effective supplement for endurance and power athletes. The benefits of HMB supplements are evident in its ability to support athletes in achieving their fitness goals.
