Hmb Supplement
HMB supplement
Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB) is produced when the body breaks down the amino acid leucine when you exercise. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Scientists think that HMB is used by your body to protect the muscles and make them stronger. Some researchers and natural practitioners think that HMB may help when the muscles need more support than usual. HMB is sometimes used by body builders who are training with weights to improve the results of their workout. HMB may be more effective when used with different kinds of amino acids. There have been some studies done to see if this is true, but they have been small. They also focused on athletes, so more studies are needed on other kinds of people. More recently, there was a study that showed that HMB can help older people who have become weak from staying in the intensive care unit. HMB was shown to help these people gain muscle and become stronger. There have also been some small studies that showed that HMB can be helpful to people to regain strength following a trauma or accident. The supplement is also sometimes useful for people with AIDS who have problems keeping their weight at a healthy level.
