HMB Shorten's Muscle Recovery Time Following a Marathon Run

HMB is shown to benefit anyone involved in strenuous activity by minimizing muscle damage, which improves recovery after a workout.

Studies have shown that HMB minimizes muscle damage during hard exercise by minimizing protein breakdown. Less muscle protein breakdown means improved muscle cell stability and less membrane damage. This reduction in muscle cell damage (leakage) has been measured by a reduction of muscle damage markers such as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the bloodstream. From the serious athlete to the conscientious fitness enthusiast, HMB can help preserve healthy muscle and shorten recovery time between rigorous activities.

HMB Increases Strength When Combined with Exercise

Strength gains are maximized with the use of HMB. A meta-analysis of resistance-exercise training studies shows that HMB supplementation results in increased strength gain. The studies showed increases for trained and untrained, young and elderly, and men and women. While the magnitude of the effect varies with training intensity and population studied, the overall effect was clear — HMB significantly increases strength gains when supplemented during resistance exercise training.

HMB Improves Body Composition During and After Calorie-Restricted Diets

Calorie restriction to reduce total body weight can result in an unwanted loss of muscle mass. But supplementing with HMB has been shown to prevent the loss of muscle mass during a calorie-restricted diet. Using an animal model to simulate the effects of caloric restriction, a study compared caloric restriction alone in combination with training or training plus HMB. HMB prevented the loss of muscle mass and lessened the loss of grip strength with caloric restriction.

HMB Improves Endurance Capacity

Studies show that HMB improves aerobic performance in average, everyday athletes. HMB is shown to increase maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and improve the respiratory compensation point (RCP). It appears that HMB may reduce metabolic acidosis, and the research also shows that it helps athletes tolerate high-intensity activity over a long period of time. Additional research shows that it lengthens the time to the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA), resulting in positive effects on endurance performance.

HMB Decreases Body Fat

Studies have shown that supplementing with HMB, combined with exercise such as resistance training, can help active adults lose body fat and gain lean muscle. In a 12-week study, participants supplementing with HMB during strength training lost 210% more body fat compared to placebo-supplemented participants. They not only lost more body fat, but they also saw lean muscle gains 250% greater than lean mass gains for those on placebo.
