HMB
HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is a naturally occurring metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine, that helps slow down muscle breakdown and preserve muscle mass. It is naturally present in some foods and it’s also produced in small amounts in the body however, levels of HMB in the body may decline with age.
HMB can also be found in oral nutritional supplements. Supplementation with HMB has been extensively studied since the 1990s. Over 80 clinical trials, 30 years of research, over 120 published clinical trials, and more than 60 studies in healthy older or immobilized and recovery patients, performed in different populations, have concluded that HMB is safe and supports muscle health.
HMB was first used among athletes as supplementation demonstrated to lower muscle breakdown following resistance training. Studies in athletes have also shown the positive effects HMB has on enhancing recovery, lean body mass, muscle strength and power, and aerobic performance.
Researchers have started to uncover the benefits HMB can have on ageing adults, adults who are immobile or those with acute or chronic diseases. Studies demonstrate that HMB can help:
- Improve muscle strength with exercise and muscle function in older adults.
- Preserve muscle mass in individuals who are immobile.
- Reduce inflammation and improve pulmonary function in COPD patients in the ICU.
HMB combined with high quality protein supports muscle recovery and helps to maintain healthy muscle mass. This is especially relevant after the age of 40, where muscle mass may decrease by 8% every 10 years. This is a natural part of aging which can be exacerbated by illness, injury, inactivity, or a poor diet. The good news is that with the right strategies you can support your muscles at every stage of life and continue to enjoy the things you love to do. Make sure that you stay active, your diet includes enough protein and consider HMB drinks or supplements to support muscle health.
