HMB
supplementBeta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate (HMB) prevents muscle breakdown and supports recovery, especially during fasting or calorie restriction.
Reported Benefits
Beta‐hydroxy‐beta‐methylbutyrate supplementation and skeletal muscle in healthy and muscle‐diseased states
Not specified in excerpt
HMB supplementation in healthy humans attenuated exercise-induced muscle damage, enhanced muscle hypertrophy, strength, aerobic performance, and resistance to fatigue.
