Always curious to get folks’ thoughts on the new supplements. Granted I’m not clued into the wellness world enough to know exactly when certain things become more popular, but this does seem like something I’m hearing about alot lately so seems new or atleast newly popular.

The hype seems pretty outrageous, steroid results without the risks type statements. Is it for real? Anyone take? Curious to see results directly from folks who have used it and whether you experienced any downsides.

TIA!

HMB has been on the market for nearly 30 years.

EAS was probably the first to sell it back in the 90s.

The notorious “HMB feels like Deca” shilling in their magazine and advertisements.

Save your money and buy real food. There is no supplement that can replace real nutritional foods.

Know what actually does work and has thousands of repeatable studies behind it? Leucine. HMB is garbage.

HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is the metabolite of leucine.

in other words, if HMB is garbage, so is leucine.

but they're not. either are fine and will help.

That's not how it works. They did actual studies on this. There's little evidence that shows HMB works better than leucine in inducing muscle protein synthesis. One study found that 3.42 grams of HMB (3 grams is the standard, recommended dose) increased muscle protein synthesis by 70% while leucine itself increased it by 110% So, your little hypothesis is wrong. HMB is absolute garbage.
