HMB Supplement

It is a natural compound produced in the body in very small amounts and is available from some foods like catfish and alfalfa. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine and HMB is a precursor of cholesterol. A small portion of leucine in the body is converted to HMB producing about 0.2 to 0.4 of HMB per day. Stressed cells doesn’t make sufficient HMG-CoA to support adequate cholesterol synthesis. HMB supplements should be used as a readily available source of HMG-CoA for the cells to maintain cholesterol synthesis, which helps in maintaining cell membrane function. HMB decreases muscle membrane damage after strenuous exercising.

It plays a important role in synthesis of muscle tissue in response to exercises and helps to reduce body fat. HMB inhibits the catabolism of muscle proteins during stressful events such as exercise. HMB is a structural component covalently linked to tissues or cell membranes and is destroyed when under stress. Thus supplementation with HMB prevents muscle breakdown and accelerate tissue repair after exercise.
