Reversal of cancer-related wasting using oral supplementation with a combination of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, arginine, and glutamine.

In this multi-center study, a combination of HMB, arginine, and glutamine was shown to improve body composition in cancer wasting by targeting nutrition to increase protein synthesis and decrease protein degradation.

Effect of a specialized amino acid mixture on human collagen deposition.

HMB combined with the amino acids arginine and glutamine increased collagen synthesis in human wound healing.

The influence of nonspecific immunostimulation of pregnant sows on the immunological value of colostrum.
