1. It's not like I don't know what I'm talking about
During the metabolism of leucine, about 5% will be converted to HMB. However, the results of the studies have been mixed so far. The acronym HMB is derived from the name hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, which translates into Polish as 3-hydroxy-3-methylamethyl acid. Since it is an ingredient present and metabolised mainly in the muscles, the idea of supplementation was born. Physically, we see that this supplement obviously initiates the synthesis of muscle proteins and stops their degradation, and a study conducted at the University of Poznań shows that it can also have a significant effect on the strength and composition of the muscle.2. The effectiveness of HMB
Unfortunately, although there are many candidates to answer this question, it is difficult to say who is right and whether there is a clear answer at all. Dr. Nelo Eidy Zanchi proposes a mechanism of action based on stimulating cholesterol synthesis in muscle cells, which can then be used to rebuild cell membranes, which is important for spongiform regeneration. The results of the above study indicate that taking 3 g of HMB for 12 weeks helps to improve the acidity and composition of the body in athletes with muscle dysfunction.
