CALCIUM Β-HYDROXY-Β-METHYLBUTYRATE (CAHMB) benefits

KEY BENEFITS OF HMB

 

    • Supports healthy metabolic pathways
    • Supports muscle structure and function

    • Supports exercise performance
    • Supports healthy aging

ABOUT HMB

β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyric acid (HMB) is a metabolite of the amino acid L-leucine. HMB is converted into approx. 5% of dietary l-leucine.

 

In particular, HMB supports skeletal muscle function, particularly during recovery from muscle damage, maintaining muscle protein balance, and preventing age-related muscle loss.


HMB FULL BENEFITS

Exercise performance (ergogenic effects)

 

  • Supports protection from muscle damage and muscle protein degradation (muscle loss / sarcopenia) [1–12]

  • Supports muscle strength and mass [9–14]

  • Supports muscle structure and function [14]

  • Supports endurance performance [15]

  • Supports post-exercise recovery [6]

  • Supports mitochondrial function in muscles [16]

 

Metabolism

 

  • Supports healthy insulin sensitivity [17]

  • Downregulates fat accumulation and blood/liver lipid levels [17]

  • Upregulates adiponectin levels [18]

 

Signaling pathways

 

  • Upregulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) [18]

  • Upregulates nuclear transcription factors of mitochondrial biogenesis (nuclear respiratory factor 1 [NRF1]) [18]

  • Downregulates proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) [18]

  • Upregulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling [18,19]

  • Upregulates SIRT1 signaling [19]

 

Complementary ingredients

 

  • Resveratrol in upregulating AMPK and SIRT1 [19]

  • May be additive with creatine for muscle performance [9]
