TSI Group’s myHMB® has been featured in Nutritional Outlook’s newly released eBook, Formulating for Sports and Active Nutrition, highlighting its scientifically backed benefits in endurance performance. The publication showcases how myHMB® (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) supports key endurance markers.
Shawn Baier, President of Business Development at TSI Group, states:
“myHMB® has a record of improving lactate threshold, respiratory compensation point, VO2max, and other key endurance indicators.”
These physiological markers are essential for sustained performance, as they help determine how efficiently an athlete can utilize oxygen and delay fatigue.
Additionally, myHMB® supports muscle recovery and helps reduce muscle protein breakdown, making it a useful addition to sports nutrition formulations designed to maintain lean muscle mass1,2,3,4.
The eBook also highlights the combination of myHMB® and creatine , emphasizing its potential to enhance muscle strength and support muscle-building efforts. The combination is recognized for optimizing muscle protein balance, making it beneficial for individuals focused on building lean muscle mass and strength gains5.
As endurance and recovery continue to be priorities in the sports nutrition industry, myHMB® remains a well-researched ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide range of performance-enhancing formulations.
The ebook is available on Nutritional Outlook’s website here.
