HMB is?????

[aiming for perfection]

Please can someone help me by telling me what HMB actually is. I have heared good things but still don`t know what it is & how it works.

Do a search here, (because I don't know much about it but its been grought up) but I guarantee you won't hear the same good things you heard elsewhere.

General line of thought is it won't do shit for you unless your getting old

HMB has never been scientifically proven to do anything on a human, not to mention the shit is expensive.

My advice, don't waste your money on it.

Wrong, there are studies that show HMB is effective at building muscle; EAS and other parties.

Yes it is expensive stuff, especially that you'll need more than the recommended dosage. But it could still be effective on a diet before a show if you're seriously into competing.

HMB has worked for me. I run a lot and it has helped me keep my mass while doing a lot of cardio, but it is too expensive. So I don't buy it. Does anyone know a reputable brand that is affordable? EAS is way too high!

beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, aka HMB plays a role in the synthesis of muscle tissue. I think it is more of an anti-catabolic supplement, rather than an anabolic one, since it ''spares'' the body braking down protein(aka muscle) which can happen after intense training sessions, first thing in the morning, when you miss a meal or get stressed out...HMB is a natural supplement, like creatine, it is produced in the body, but you only get results when supplementing with it, since our bodys dont produce any more that 1 gram of the stuff a day.

I have never tried the shit myself....

up to you, hope this helped!

You better read up on those studies bro. The shit does not work. But, if you want to waste your money on it for the mere placebo effect, be my guest.
