HMB+

HMB+ is a dietary supplement based on ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyric acid (HMB), a metabolite derived from the degradation of the amino acid leucine, about 5%.

The use of HMB as a sports supplement dates back to 1996, when Dr. Nissen demonstrated how HMB was useful for the increase of lean mass and athletic performance. HMB directly stimulates mTOR, which leads to an increase in protein synthesis. Its main activity is anti-catabolic, as it is able to counteract muscle proteolysis induced by training, preventing muscle proteins from breaking down.

The intake of HMB can be associated with that of leucine: the combined action of the substances could stimulate anabolism since leucine mainly induces protein synthesis, while HMB works in both anti-catabolic and anabolic phases. This allows for a better result in terms of muscle mass increase.

3 tablets a day to be swallowed with a glass of water, preferably away from meals and after training.
