What is HMB

Updated: November 2, 2026

HMB is made from the amino acid leucine and reduces muscle breakdown.

  • Useful for beginners, people over 50, keeping muscle after illness or injury, and hard diets.
  • Adds little for experienced lifters.
  • Dose: 3 g a day in 2–3 servings with food; judge it after 2–4 weeks.

It's safe, but the base is enough protein and strength training.

General sports-nutrition guidance, not medical advice. If you have a condition, are pregnant or take medication, check with your doctor first.
