    HMB (B-hydroxy B-methylbutyrate monohydrate) is a natural compound produced in the body in very small amounts. It is the metabolite of the amino acid leucine. It has been shown to suppress exercise-induced muscle tissue breakdown.Supplementing with HMB may: Minimize protein breakdown, Prevents muscle catabolism, Help the body maintain an anabolic state, Decrease body fat, Improve body composition.EAS was the first company to bring HMB to the market. Since then, it has been written up in numerous health and fitness magazines, hundreds of newspapers, and it' s been featured on dozens of TV news programs as an exciting, breakthrough supplement that might allow people to get better results faster from the time they spend exercising.Q: What does HMB do?A: Researchers are not completely certain how HMB works in the body. It appears that this amino acid metabolite supports the bodys ability to minimise protein breakdown subsequent to stress such as intense exercise and it also may work to preserve the integrity of cell membranes. By minimising protein breakdown, HMB, when combined with a resistance-training program, may cause an increase in muscle mass and strength. The exact mechanism behind HMBs effectiveness will have to be determined in future research. Q: Does HMB cause any side effects? A: We produce from .3 to 1 gram of HMB in our bodies per day. Also, HMB occurs naturally in various whole foods such as grapefruit and catfi sh. Thus HMB is not a drug, and studies to date suggest no adverse side effects. Q: Is HMB just for young, serious athletes, or can older, physically active individuals also benefit from using it? A: As long as individuals exercise, HMB may be benefi cial for older as well as younger athletes. In fact, from a recent study published in the FASEB Journal [12.5 (1998) : A652], researchers concluded that HMB may indeed enhance the effects of modest exercise on the body composition of older adults. In this study with a group of older subjects (15 men and 16 women, mean age: 70+/-1 yrs.) participating in a 5-day/week exercise program, the group taking HMB experienced a decrease in bodyfat and an increase in lean body mass. Subjects participated in a three-day/week walking program and a two-day/week strength training program for eight weeks. Q: What is HMB? A: HMB stands for beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. Its a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. HMB is found in foods of both plant and animal origin, and HMB is also normally produced in the body. (Depending on the nutritional program, from .3 grams to 1 gram of HMB is produced in the body per day.) Its precursors are the amino acid leucine and the keto acid KIC. Certain plants such as alfalfa and plant products such as corn silage appear to have relatively large concentrations of HMB. Grapefruit and catfi sh also contain relatively high concentrations of this nutrient. However, similar to various vitamins and other micronutrients, it is extremely difficult and impractical to consume enough of these foods on a regular basis to provide the full benefits of HMB. It is probably much more practical to use a dietary supplement containing pure HMB. HMB The leucine metabolite ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate monohydrate (HMB)has been shown to support the bodys ability to minimise protein (i.e., muscle) breakdown and damage to muscle cells, which can occur after intense resistance exercise.
