Muscles - meet myHMB | Health & Wellness

Healthy muscles.
Healthy life.

Our health is up to us. As women, we work hard every day to find a balance between work, family and friends, activity and diet. It’s easy to overlook the role our muscles play in this balance – keeping us strong, mobile, active and independent – at any age.

Our overall wellness is often reliant on our body’s ability to keep pace with our hectic lifestyles. The very definition of health and wellness is supporting your body, so you can enjoy your favorite activities now and for years to come.

MyHMB provides muscles with exactly what they need to remain strong and support our lifestyle. HMB (scientifically known as beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) is produced naturally in our bodies, and simultaneously boosts muscle protein synthesis while helping prevent protein degradation.

Fit Mom & Wellness Coach

“With work and kids, I try to be as efficient as possible. When I train, myHMB helps me do this! Every minute I have is NOT going to waste because myHMB is helping with muscle retention and recovery. I’ve found myHMB helps me be the strong, vibrant, mom and woman I want to be.”
Erin Stern

2x Ms. Figure Olympia

"I have counted on myHMB to help with my recovery since my college days. When I started training for figure competitions, I started taking myHMB again. I noticed that I wasn't as sore after workouts, and I was able to keep my training intensity high. I also noticed that I was able to maintain more lean muscle mass as I prepared for the stage. I believe that it helped me with my success as a figure athlete and as a track athlete!"
Taylor Galadyk

CrossFit Games Athlete

"CrossFit is a very intense sport and can take a toll on your body. With myHMB, I have noticed a faster recovery time and less muscle soreness. MyHMB also aids in the production of muscle mass, taking myHMB along with proper training and healthy eating I am stronger and leaner than ever!"

HMB and Vitamin D Supports Fat Loss

A study examined 43 middle-aged women over the course of 12 weeks. The women who consumed the combination of HMB and Vitamin D had significant reductions in intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and increased muscle volume.

Improves Endurance Capacity

Studies show that myHMB improves aerobic performance in average, everyday athletes. MyHMB is shown to increase maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) and improve the respiratory compensation point (RCP). It appears that myHMB 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 myHMB lengthens the time to the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA), resulting in positive effects on endurance performance.

Improves Body Composition During and After Calorie-Restricted Diets

Calorie restriction to reduce overall body weight can result in an unwanted loss of muscle mass. But supplementing with myHMB 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 myHMB. MyHMB prevented the loss of muscle mass and lessened the loss of grip strength with caloric restriction.

Increases Strength When Combined with Exercise

Strength gains are maximized with the use of myHMB. A meta-analysis of resistance-exercise training studies shows that myHMB 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 — myHMB significantly increases strength gains when supplemented during resistance-exercise training.

Shortens Muscle Recovery Time Following a Marathon Run

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

Studies have shown that myHMB minimizes muscle damage during hard exercise by minimizing protein breakdown. Less 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 blood stream. From the serious athlete to the conscientious fitness enthusiast, myHMB can help preserve healthy muscle and shorten recovery time between rigorous activity.
