HMB

HMB (Hydroxy Methyl Butyric acid) is a compound produced when the amino acid leucine is broken down, and is naturally synthesized in the human body. Studies have shown that HMB promotes protein synthesis, a process that is important to the maintenance of lean muscle tissue. When taken as a supplement, studies have shown that HMB may help support power output as well as retention of muscle when eating at a caloric deficit.
