Terrific for gaining lean mass
HMB 1250: The anti-catabolic par excellence
The high-dose amino acid line is enriched with a new product: HMB-1250
HMB is short for “ beta – hydroxy beta – methylbutyrate ”, it is one of the most popular supplements from the world of body building, a metabolite of leucine, which is one of the body’s essential amino acids.
In many foods there are small amounts of HMB, especially in fish, grapefruits and medical herbs, but the athlete’s body needs much greater than that present in food.
HMB has indeed been widely used as an ergogenic aid, particularly among bodybuilders and athletes who perform strength / power training, in order to promote the exercise and muscle hypertrophy.
Many studies have indicated that HMB supplementation can elicit numerous ergogenic benefits such as anti-catabolic (1), anabolic (2) and lipolytic (3) effects. ).

What does it do?
A recent scientific study showed that athletes who took 3 grams of HMB per day for three weeks gained 3 times more muscle mass than others who they were only taking a placebo. The HMB’s ability to increase resistance alone is already an excellent achievement!
But this is not the only benefit of this metabolite, in short, taking HMB means increasing both lean and muscle mass to the detriment of fat. In addition, it also increases physical endurance thus facilitating fat loss.
Scientific studies
In 2001 two Brazilian universities conducted a study on subjects with high cholesterol levels.
There were 12 men aged 50 to 72 divided into two groups: placebo and HMB.
The HMB group consumed 3 grams per day for 4 weeks.
Throughout the duration of this study all subjects trained 5 days a week: 3 days with aerobic training and the other 2 with weights.
It was shown that the subjects who had taken HMB drastically reduced their fat mass, greatly increasing their strength and especially lean mass!
The placebo group, on the other hand, did not show changes in both fat and lean mass, they remained almost the same as at the beginning of the study.
Here are the “powers” of HMB revealed!
Who needs the HMB?
Basically it is for anyone who intends to experience its impressive effects!
It is therefore useful for those who want to increase their strength, whether it is a man or a woman but above all for those who want to reduce and eliminate excess fat … let’s not forget that a good dose of physical activity and proper nutrition are also important to achieve this goal!
The right dosage is 3 grams per day either before training or in the evening before going to sleep.
In addition to the daily intake of HMB it is also advisable, if not necessary, to carry out a healthy physical activity, such as weight lifting.
