HMB - Dietary Supplement
information on dietary supplements

What is it? It's a metabollite of the essential amino acid leucine and it's present in small quantities in meats (catfish), fruits (grapefruit) and vegetables... as well as manufactured by our own body. It's not a steroid nor a drug. HMB is even a natural component found in mother's milk.

What does it do? HMB increases the body's ability to build muscle mass and burn fat in response to intense exercise. It basically shifts protein metabolism in favour of new muscle growth as well as minimizing the breakdown of muscle tissue. Therefore it appears to work best with a high protein diet.

Over the years, numerous performed studies indicate the following:
- HMB boosts endurance
- women using HMB experienced enhanced strength, an increase in lean body mass and fat loss
