Improve muscle health with myHMB.

MyHMB offers a solution to something that impacts all of us, at any stage of life — our ever-changing muscle health. We naturally lose muscle mass as we age. During times of illness or injury, muscle health can be compromised due to inactivity and recovery periods essential to healing. Muscle is also broken down during strenuous exercise and activity. All these scenarios impose different types of stressors on the muscles — but that’s when myHMB performs its best since it actually activates during times of stress to the body.

With myHMB, people of all ages and activity levels can:

Reduce muscle protein breakdown (Smith et al., 2005)
Boost muscle protein synthesis (Eley et al., 2007)
Reduce muscle damage resulting from exercise (Nissen et al., 1996) Jówko et al., 2001)
Improve strength gains from resistance training (Nissen and Sharp, 2003)
Improve recovery after resistance and endurance training (Knitter et al., 2000)
Improve body composition and boost fat loss with exercise (Wilson et al., 2013)
Maintain lean muscle during calorie restriction (Park et al., 2013)

HMB Dosing and Delivery Timing

The recommended dosage of myHMB (otherwise known as Calcium HMB) is three grams per day for average-size individuals. Research has shown that a more precise dosage of 38 mg of CaHMB per kg, or 17 mg of CaHMB per pound of body weight, each day is optimal (see chart for simplified dosage scale, Strength and Muscle Building: 2000: Gallagher). The daily dosage should be divided into two or three equal servings and taken throughout the day.

For best results, we recommend taking one daily serving of myHMB an hour before exercise or, if you are unable to take myHMB prior to exercise, take a dose immediately after your workout or training session.
