myHMB®
myHMB® delivers exactly what the body’s working muscles need – HMB. Scientifically known as β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is produced naturally in our bodies during the metabolism of the essential amino acid leucine. Leucine is found in virtually all protein we eat it every day in foods like soybeans, beef, alfalfa and fish, and some proteins have more leucine than others. However, it’s difficult if not impossible to consume enough protein alone to achieve the effective amount of HMB. With myHMB®, you can get the muscle-building power of HMB directly — allowing you to preserve healthy muscle and live better.

- HIGHLIGHTS
Decrease muscle breakdown while increasing lean muscle mass, improving strength, power and endurance, and recovering faster from training, injury or illness.; MyHMB offers a solution to something that impacts all of us, at any stage of life — our ever-changing muscle health. We naturally lose muscle mass as we age. During times of illness or injury, muscle health can be compromised due to inactivity and recovery periods essential to healing. Muscle is also broken down during strenuous exercise and activity. All these scenarios impose different types of stressors on the muscles — but that's when myHMB performs its best since it actually activates during times of stress to the body.; With myHMB, people of all ages and activity levels can:; Reduce muscle protein breakdown; Boost muscle protein synthesis; Reduce muscle damage resulting from exercise; Improve strength gains from resistance training; Improve recovery after resistance and endurance training; Improve body composition and boost fat loss with exercise; Maintain lean muscle during calorie restriction

- Dosing and Delivery Timing
The recommended dosage of myHMB (otherwise known as Calcium HMB) is three grams per day for average-size individuals. Research has shown that a more precise dosage of 38 mg of CaHMB per kg, or 17 mg of CaHMB per pound of body weight, each day is optimal (see chart for simplified dosage scale, Strength and Muscle Building: 2000: Gallagher). The daily dosage should be divided into two or three equal servings and taken throughout the day.. For best results, we recommend taking one daily serving of myHMB an hour before exercise or, if you are unable to take myHMB prior to exercise, take a dose immediately after your workout or training session.
