HMB
HMB is a category of products containing this substance, also known as β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate. It is an active metabolite of the amino acid leucine, which, together with valine and isoleucine, belongs to BCAAs. HMB is sought after by athletes in order to reduce the time required for regeneration. This effect is attributed to it because it appears to have a positive effect on reducing the myofibrillar damage caused by power training. It also boasts anti-catabolic effect and belongs to the basic workout supplements.
Athletes tend to look for HMB to support regeneration after intensive training or as a supplement to reduce muscle loss, for example during a diet with limited calorie intake. You can find HMB mostly in the form of tablets or capsules which are convenient to use.
