HMB
(ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate)
- This supplement is definitely the state of the art in drug-free bodybuilding. HMB (ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate) is a patented amino acid metabolite that was discovered by research scientists at Iowa State University. University studies have shown that when intensely trained athletes supplement their diets with HMB, they gain significantly more lean mass and strength than athletes using a placebo. Two studies have also now shown that HMB may help accelerate fat loss that occurs secondary to strenuous exercise.
- Scientists theorize that HMB may suppress protein breakdown that follows intensive exercise, producing an anti-catabolic effect. By reducing muscle tissue breakdown, HMB may tip the scales of protein turnover in favor of new muscle growth.
- EAS was the first company to bring HMB to the market.
Since then, it has been written up in
numerous health and fitness magazines, hundreds of newspapers, and it’s been featured on
dozens of TV news programs as an exciting, breakthrough supplement which might allow
bodybuilders and fitness buffs to get better results faster from the time they spend exercising.
