The main advantage of HMB is that it can establish a net positive balance of muscle metabolism? Is that muscle growth is greater than decomposition. Therefore, people can reduce calories while taking HMB to lose weight, which can help maintain lean body mass and aim at fat mass. This is useful for those who try to lose weight without losing muscle.
Method of taking HMB
The recommended dose is to take 3g HMB-Ca at least one hour before strenuous exercise, but ideally, before changing the training routine and intensity, it needs to be supplemented in the preparation stage, each time 1g, three times a day for two weeks. HMB-FA is more effective and faster, so it can be taken within 30 to 60 minutes before exercise, and the dose is 1-2g.
When taken with carbohydrates or as part of a diet, HMB may take longer to get the maximum benefit. Therefore, if you take carbohydrates at the same time, please supplement HMB about 2 hours before training.
