First used as a bodybuilding supplement in the late 90's, HMB is one of a select few natural substances that are anticatabolic - i.e. they prevent muscle breakdown. A derivitive of keto-isocaproate, which itself is a metabolite of the branch-chain amino acid Leucine, HMB was first proposed as a possible muscle-building supplement by EAS founder Bill Philips. Though the exact mode of action remains unclear, studies later backed up the early empirical evidence to prove that HMB did indeed slow protein breakdown and reduce amino acid losses from resistance training. Since then HMB has become the choice of both hard-core bodybuilders and recreational trainers who were looking for a supplement that would improve recovery times and reduce soreness without any hormonal effects. HMB - Calcium Hydroxymethyl-Butyrate Hydroxymethyl-Butyrate, or HMB for short, is a derivative of the essential amino acid Leucine, and is made in small quantities naturally within the human body. Research suggests that HMB may play a key role in reducing muscle catabolism, making it of interest to athletes and especially bodybuilders. Body Ripped's Calcium Hydroxymethyl-Butyrate is formulated to assist active people in achieving physique and/or performance goals, and may be an appropriate supplement to use before, during, and after weight training or other strenuous exercise.
