Description: HMB by Kaizen
HMB is a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid Leucine. HMB is found in foods of both plant and animal origin. Its precursors are the amino acid Leucine and the keto acid KIC. Alfalfa, corn silage, grapefruit and catfish contain relatively high concentrations of this nutrient. It is extremely difficult and impractical to consume enough of these foods on a regular basis to provide the full benefits of HMB. The potassium phosphate is included to stabilize the calcium and increase absorption. HMB is an amino acid metabolite that supports the body’s ability to minimize protein breakdown and damage to muscle cells, which can occur subsequent to intense resistance exercise. By reducing tissue breakdown, HMB may cause an increase in muscle mass and strength. It also seems to accelerate fat loss that occurs secondary to strenuous exercise. |
