“Beta-hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate – better known by the acronym ‘HMB’ – is a natural derivative of the branched-chain amino acid Leucine. Studies (using doses ranging from 1.5 to 3 grams daily) have concluded that HMB reduces protein degradation (anti-catabolic), and increases protein synthesis (muscle growth), making it the ideal supplement for athletes performing high intensity, muscle-building workouts. While Leucine is found in large quantities in every complete protein food, only a relatively small amount is converted by the body to HMB. HMB itself is contained in a handful of foods, but in amounts that are far too small to have an effect. The easiest way to get more HMB in your diet is to supplement it. Body Ripped’s HMB contains 100% pure, pharmaceutical grade Beta-hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate, 300 grams per tub (100 days supply at the typical dosage of 3 grams daily). Use it morning noon and night for an all-day anti-catabolic and muscle-protective effect, or before intense training to reduce muscle breakdown.”
