EAS HMB
- 200 capsules
The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolite
ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate monohydrate (HMB) has been
shown to support the body's ability to minimize protein (i.e., muscle)
breakdown and damage to muscle cells, which can occur after intense
resistance exercise.1 By reducing muscle tissue breakdown, HMB may
tip the scales of protein turnover in favor of new muscle growth.
HMB is found in foods of both plant and animal
origin, and HMB is also normally produced in the body. (Depending
on the nutritional program, from .3 grams to 1 gram of HMB is produced
in the body per day.) Its precursors are the amino acid leucine
and the keto acid KIC. Certain plants such as alfalfa and plant
products such as corn silage appear to have relatively large concentrations
of HMB.
Grapefruit and catfish also contain relatively
high concentrations of this nutrient. However, similar to various
vitamins and other micronutrients, it is extremely difficult and
impractical to consume enough of these foods on a regular basis
to provide the full benefits of HMB. It is probably much more practical
to use a dietary supplement containing pure HMB.
HMB (B-hydroxy B-methylbutyrate monohydrate) is
the metabolite of the amino acid leucine. Supplementing with HMB
may:
- Minimize protein breakdown and damage to muscle
cells
- Help the body maintain an anabolic state
- Improve body composition
