Healthy men supplemented with HMB free acid (BetaTOR) (3 g/d) and underwent a six week resistance training program.  BetaTOR supplementation improved the anabolic adaptations (GH/IGF-1) and decreased catabolic stress hormones (cortisol/ACTH).  Similar to previous studies BetaTOR supplementation also improved strength and power during the training when compared to placebo-supplemented men.
