Hydroxy-MethylButyrate, aka, HMB. I came across HMB through conducting extensive research on supplements that promotes muscle repair and improving bone density. As a Martial Arts practitioner, I felt that I needed a supplement that would help reduce muscle soreness and increase my bone density. I have heard both good & bad things about HMB and, understandably, I was a little skeptic. All the more reason to try it. I have been taking HMB for a week now... I can honestly say that it has improved muscle soreness a great deal. On a scale of 1 to 10 - 10 being the best possible result - I would give a score of 10 for the reduction of soreness. I feel like a different person. I am more nimble on my feet. Usually, after an intense training session, my legs would be screaming sore. HMB has made a significant difference in reducing muscle fatigue. I also feel an improvement in my bones and joints. I had read that HMB is given to hospitalized patients after serious operations to aid recovery. I also read HMB accelerates the healing of broken bones. No... I can't say that I have broken any bones, but my overall skeletal system feels enhanced somehow. I had hoped that this would be the case. I am so very pleased; I can't begin to express how much HMB has benefited me as a Martial Arts athlete. It is phenomenal. I can honestly say that HMB has really worked for me. I wish I had discovered it earlier. Better late than never - as the saying goes. Goes Well With: I was expecting HMB to have an undesirable taste. I can't say that it tastes of anything as such. It is very similar to Creatine. I found that it goes very well with breakfast cereal and yogurt. I am going to start taking it with Creatine with a view to increase muscle strength and lower fatigue. The HMB should help reduce muscle loss in a man of my years. Here goes! Here's to a fitter and stronger body!

Just started using it as a standalone powder. My previous protein shake had HMB listed as an extra; but it became too expensive Now I add it to my vegan protein to make sure I'm getting enough and despite buying two products to mix together, it is still cheaper - thanks MyProtein for reducing my bills! Goes Well With: A top-up to your protein shake

Does what it's meant to do added to protein shake and mixes easy.

Very useful for when you're in a calorie deficit and want to maintain muscle. Had good results taking a small dose at the end of weights before cardio.

Goes really well my protein shakes just pop the desired amount in. I have unflavoured as I don’t like to mix and match my drinks. Seems to really help with fatigue and recovery.  Goes Well With: Any protein shake.
