ATP Nutrition HMB Extreme 180 tob

Calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB Ca) is a form of HMB that is bound to calcium. It is often used as a dietary supplement among athletes and people trying to improve their physical fitness or muscle mass. The capsulated form is easy and precise to dose.

Mechanism of action of HMB:

• Protein Synthesis: HMB promotes muscle protein synthesis, which is crucial for muscle growth.
• Reduction of proteolysis: HMB reduces the breakdown of muscle protein, which helps to protect muscle mass, especially during intense training or caloric deficit.
• Thecalcium form of HMB is more stable and better absorbed than other forms of HMB.

Benefits of HMB:

1. Promoting muscle growth: HMB-Ca helps increase muscle mass by promoting protein synthesis and reducing muscle tissue breakdown.

2. Strength Enhancement: HMB-Ca supplementation helps to improve strength, which is useful for both athletes and active older individuals who want to stay physically active.

3. Recovery.

4. HMB-Ca helps to reduce body fat while preserving muscle mass, which is beneficial for those trying to improve muscle tone.

Significant scientific studies on HMB:

1. Wilson et al. (2013): study title: The effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate free acid supplementation on muscle mass, strength, and power in resistance-trained individuals: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Results: The study found that HMB supplementation led to significant increases in muscle mass, strength, and power in strength-trained individuals.

2. Effect of leucine metabolite beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate on muscle metabolism during resistance-exercise training. Results: This earlier study showed that HMB reduces muscle protein breakdown and promotes muscle growth in conditioned athletes undergoing strength training. Source: Journal of Applied Physiology.

3. Kraemer et al. (2009): Study title: Effects of HMB supplementation and resistance training on strength, body composition, and endocrine function in elderly men. Results: Research has shown that HMB can improve muscle mass, strength, and endocrine profile in older men who engage in strength training. Source: Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

Results: The combination of HMB-Ca and creatine resulted in significant increases in muscle mass and strength in men engaged in resistance training. Source.
