HMB (calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate)
Description
HMB, calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, is a molecule that comes solely from the degradation of an amino acid: leucine. Produced in small quantities by the body, HMB is used by people willing to increase their muscle mass during intensive training.
HMB prevents the breakdown of proteins and promotes an increase in their synthesis, thus allowing for muscle gain. Lean mass then increases and helps to build muscle strength. The capacities are thus improved as the training sessions progress.
This molecule helps to reduce recovery time and reduce pain.
Furthermore, according to some studies, HMB also contributes to the reduction of muscle loss caused by age.
The benefits
- HMB has its place in an anti-aging strategy by reducing age-related muscle loss.
