Damage control with HMB

You’ve probably heard me raving about the sport supplement HMB, and I know some of you are using it, but here is a bit more info on one of my favourite core supplements – I use my Reactiv Maximum HMB year round and benefit from continual progress – when I stop using it I find muscle degradation occurs almost immediately and very noticeably…

What is HMB?
HMB stands for Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methyl-Buterate and is a metabolite of the branch-chain amino acid Leucine. HMB occurs naturally in plants as well as meat. It is however, very difficult to obtain sufficient HMB through normal food intake (The recommended daily dosage for performance enhancement is 3 grams). Our bodies produce small amounts of HMB, usually between .3grams and 1 gram per day.

Can I get the same effect by supplementing my diet with Leucine instead of HMB?
No, scientists believe that only 5% of consumed Leucine can be converted into HMB in the body. Therefore you would have to supplement 60 grams of Leucine per day, which would cause digestive system problems.
