HMB - What do you guys reckon? K TO answers

[ErikZ]

I was wondering... is HmB good for gains/recovery?
I read many people complaining, but yet again, they were dosing at a lower level than any study conducted dosed at (all studies dosed their subjects with 3g-5g of HMB for 6 weeks).

So, what do you guys think?
I would appreciate your answers greatly, for I am wondering whether or not to buy some to be used alongside my already purchase bottles of PureCEE.

Thank you,
Cheers

It´s useful to prevent DOMS.

It´s useful to prevent DOMS.

Proof?

As far as I know, there's almost nothing that will prevent DOMS---in the form of a supplement, other than protien.

Sorry for the ignorance... but DOMS?

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

 

[Rio 2006]

I have been prescribing it for some time ( I´m M.D.) for clients who were engaging in physical training after long periods of inactivity with good results.
As for lean mass gain , it´s a major disappointment.

Supplementation with beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) reduces signs and symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage in man.

van Someren KA, Edwards AJ, Howatson G.

School of Life Sciences, Kingston University, Kingston-upon-Thames, United Kingdom.

This study examined the effects of beta-hydroxyl-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) supplementation on signs and symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage following a single bout of eccentrically biased resistance exercise. Six non-resistance trained male subjects performed an exercise protocol designed to induce muscle damage on two separate occasions, performed on the dominant or non-dominant arm in a counter-balanced crossover design. Subjects were assigned to an HMB/KIC (3 g HMB and 0.3 g alpha-ketoisocaproic acid, daily) or placebo treatment for 14 d prior to exercise in the counter-balanced crossover design. One repetition maximum (1RM), plasma creatine kinase activity (CK), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), limb girth, and range of motion (ROM) were determined pre-exercise, at 1h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post-exercise. DOMS and the percentage changes in 1RM, limb girth, and ROM all changed over the 72 h period (P < 0.05). HMB//IC supplementation attenuated the CK response, the percentage decrement in 1RM, and the percentage increase in limb girth (P < 0.05). In addition, DOMS was reduced at 24 h post-exercise (P < 0.05) in the HMB/KIC treatment. In conclusion, 14 d of HMB and KIC supplementation reduced signs and symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage in non-resistance trained males following a single bout of eccentrically biased resistance exercise.
