EAS HMB
 

Gain Significantly More Lean Mass

HMB (ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate) is a patented amino acid metabolite that was discovered by research scientists at Iowa State University. University studies have shown that when intensely trained athletes supplement their diets with HMB, they gain significantly more lean mass and strength than athletes using a placebo. Two studies have also now shown that HMB may help accelerate fat loss that occurs secondary to strenuous exercise. Scientists theorize that HMB may suppress protein breakdown that follows intensive exercise, producing an anti-catabolic effect. By reducing muscle tissue breakdown, HMB may tip the scales of protein turnover in favor of new muscle growth. Researchers are not completely certain how HMB works in the body. It appears that this amino acid metabolite supports the body's ability to minimize protein breakdown subsequent to stress such as intense exercise and it also may work to preserve the integrity of cell membranes. By minimizing protein breakdown, HMB, when combined with a resistance-training program, may cause an increase in muscle mass and strength.

The exact mechanism behind HMB's effectiveness will have to be determined in future research. Take four capsules, three times daily with meals. That's a total of 12 capsules per day. Some research suggests larger bodybuilders (over 200 pounds) may need more, up to 5 or 6 grams per day. HMB can be used with a multi-nutrient/meal-replacement product or just regular food.

HMB does not eliminate the need for any other supplement nor does HMB have to be used along with any other supplement. Of course, those who are using HMB in an effort to stimulate gains in muscle size and strength should obviously be engaged in regular, intense weight-training exercise. 250 mg HMB per capsule. 200 capsules per bottle
