Related: Muscle-Building Foods You Should Be Eating Put simply, supplementing with HMB may help decrease muscle protein breakdown and increase lean body mass, improve overall body composition, increase strength and endurance, and maximize the results of training.
Final Factors Regardless of where you are in your training and what your goals may be, it is important to keep in mind that no supplement can overcome unhealthy behaviors. Before starting any supplement with the goal of improving performance and body composition, it is important to ask yourself these questions: Am I eating enough whole foods to support my level of activity?
Am I hydrating my body? HMB increased strength and muscle mass while reducing muscle damage in all subjects. Ransone et al. HMB increased muscle mass and reduced body fat however this was not statistically significant probably because the athletes only used HMB for 4 weeks so gains were small.
HMB is one of the few supplements considered to be both safe and effective by the society. Nissen at al. Buford et al. We are looking for Ambassadors for our brand - people who believe in our mission and want to help change the industry for the better.

As an older athlete, these products are greatly assisting with my ability to push harder and achieve better stats during the challenges faced at CrossFit classes. I am looking forward to seeing how far I can push myself, while using these Blonyx products. My husband recently developed a sensitivity to whey protein so we opened up a bag of Blonyx I had won at a CrossFit competition. Even better pump, didnt get the tingles, took about half container to notice it, similar time to the HMB.

Did you know? The research on HMB The published research on HMB is varied in many ways: From the level and type of athlete used as subjects from novice to highly trained, weightlifter to distance runners and football players to the duration of study weeks to several months.
HMB for Crossfitters. While various studies analyzed in this manuscript support the efficacy of HMB as an effective ergogenic aid for athletes that decreases DOMS, markers of muscle damage, and body fat, while increasing various markers of performance, including LBM and strength in resistance trained athletes, and OBLA and VO2 peak in endurance trained athletes, a number of studies analyzed did not support the efficacy of HMB supplementation.
The current authors suggest that these conflicting results may in part be attributed to the variability in humans, inadequate sample sizes, and methodological issues such as the specificity of testing conditions, cases of overtraining, elicitation of an inadequate training stimulus in experienced participants, limited dependent variables, and short duration experiments.
There is compelling evidence that HMB supplementation may be useful for clinical muscle wasting conditions including AIDS, cancer, bed-rest, and during periods of caloric deficits. HMB also appears to be safe, and may improve various markers of health, including blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol.
However, more studies are needed to determine the optimal dosage and frequency of HMB supplementation, and the overall efficacy of HMB supplementation as an ergogenic aid for athletes. The second purpose of this paper was to provide an in depth analysis of possible mechanisms that HMB may exert its effects. Results from this review showed that HMB appears to primarily exert its effects through protective and anticatabolic mechanism. The prevailing explanation is the cholesterol synthesis hypothesis.
However, recent studies have shown that HMB's anticatabolic effects are at least in part mediated by attenuation of the activation and increased gene expression of the ubiquitin-pathway. Furthermore, there is evidence that HMB may directly increase protein synthesis. The authors would like to thank Dr. Lynn Panton for her expert critique of this paper.

Introduction The branched chain amino acids BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine make up more than one third of muscle protein [ 1 ]. Dependent measures used to study HMB supplementation Several dependent measures have been utilized to study the effects of HMB supplementation. Studies supporting the efficacy of HMB supplementation The following sections will analyze various studies which support the efficacy of HMB supplementation.
The efficacy of HMB supplementation for untrained participants Nissen et al. The efficacy of HMB supplementation for experienced athletes Several studies have found that HMB supplementation enhances LBM and indices of performance during resistance training, independent of training experience.
The efficacy of HMB supplementation in the elderly Several studies have examined if the ergogenic benefits of HMB supplementation can be generalized to the elderly. The efficacy of HMB supplementation during states of severe muscle catabolism As a purported anti-catabolic agent, HMB supplementation has been examined under various muscle wasting situations.
Additional studies which support the efficacy of HMB supplementation The following section will analyze remaining studies found which support the efficacy of HMB supplementation, but did not fit into the aforementioned categories.
Studies which do not support the Efficacy of HMB supplementation A number of studies conflict with research that supports the efficacy of HMB supplementation. Possible explanations for conflicting results It is critical to analyze possible explanations for conflicting results. The efficacy of HMB in trained athletes While several studies have found benefits from HMB in trained athletes [ 38 - 44 ], a number of studies have not [ 64 , 68 , 69 ], leading some authors to conclude that HMB supplementation may not be effective in trained individuals [ 64 , 69 ].
Other possible adjustments to future methodologies A further problem suggested by the current authors is the dosage of HMB administered. Clustering as a proposed problem against the validity of HMB experiments An argument sometimes proposed against the efficacy of HMB supplementation, is that the studies concerning this supplement tend to be conducted by similar authors clustered. Safety and health benefits of HMB supplementation Studies have found that people are consuming more than the recommended 3 g per day dosage of HMB [ 91 ].
Latency of peak of HMB concentration following ingestion Vukovich et al. Open in a separate window. Figure 1. The Cholesterol Synthesis Hypothesis CSH According to the CSH, a damaged muscle cell may lack the capacity to produce adequate amounts of cholesterol needed for various cellular functions, including the maintenance of sarcolemmal integrity [ 31 ].
Possible onteraction of HMB with the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolysis dependent pathway A number of new developments have occurred in the analysis of proteolytic pathways that HMB may interact with. Applications of HMB mechanisms to indices of performance and lean mass This section addresses how HMB's proposed mechanisms of action interact with and explain improvements in indexes of human performance and body composition.
Implications for future research The first purpose of this paper was to provide an in depth and objective analysis of HMB research.

The Sport Psychologist. Statistics with a Sense of Humor. Pyrczak Publishing; The initial study by Nissen et al 1 the patent holder of HMB, which showed the largest increase ever reported was still included in this increase and removing this study from the analysis would mean there would be no difference at all.
Eleven studies also measured changes in lean body mass. Here, the mean difference between supplemented and placebo groups was a few hundred grams. The HMB-supplemented groups gained an average of 1. The mean fat loss was equivalent in these same studies. There was no significant difference in the amount of fat that was lost.
The analysis of muscle strength with or without HMB revealed no differences. For example, subjects that undertook resistance exercise training with placebo increased their total 1RM repetition max strength by HMB-supplemented individuals increased their total 1RM strength by This difference was not significantly different. The authors point out that some studies have reported extraordinarily greater lean mass.
These studies met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis but were excluded due to the fact that there were so far removed from the average response.
For comparison: the average gain in fat free mass of all other studies was 1. Increases of more than 7kg are therefore way out of the normal physiological range. In one study 9. Such changes are normally only seen in subjects using anabolic steroids. HMB, as would be expected as a metabolite of leucine, can acutely activate skeletal muscle protein synthesis and the main signaling pathways leading to protein synthesis.
But there is little or no reason to believe that HMB would have a superior effect to leucine or to meals containing leucine containing foods 5, 6. In fact, the large changes seen by Nissen et al 7 may have been because HMB was ingested with 37 g of milk protein.
