Maintain muscle mass
Supplementing with HMB helps to increase whole body protein turnover and contributes to increasing lean body mass in older adults.
HMB may also help the elderly with a sedentary lifestyle to maintain lean body mass.
HMB
Did You Know Muscle Mass Peaks at 30?
Muscle Mass peaks around 30 years of age, naturally declining 1% per year on average. This accelerates in our 70s, on average declining by 15% per decade.
The combination of HMB and vitamin D3 supports muscle mass in ageing individuals by reducing protein breakdown in the muscles.
HMB supports muscle health as you age by maintaining your muscle mass and muscle protein stores.
Vitamin D supports the metabolism of calcium in your bones, so you stay stronger for longer.
Why does Healthy Muscle Mass Matter?
Maintains Routines
Ensuring good muscle health is crucial for staying mobile and physically strong. Many everyday tasks rely on muscle strength, such as driving, climbing stairs, standing up from chairs, carrying groceries, and gardening.
Boost Bone Strength
Bones, muscles and joints work together. Strong muscles keep your bones in good shape, and strong bones increase joint mobility and flexibility. All of these allowing you to move freely and stay active and able.
Maintain Balance
Muscle loss may affect the balance and gait, especially in ageing individuals. Muscle strength keeps you balanced and possibly reduces the risk of falls.

What is HMB?
HMB is scientifically known as ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate. It is produced naturally in the body in small amounts when metabolising the amino acid leucine. HMB may help reduce muscle protein breakdown, stimulate protein synthesis, and provide benefits to exercise. To maximise HMB’s anticatabolic properties, it is necessary to supplement with around 3g per day to raise levels in the body.
Specially Formulated
myHMB
- Formulated myHMB®, a trademarked HMB with a good standard for quality, safety and efficacy globally.
- HMB or beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and is the active metabolite of leucine, a branched-chain amino acid.
- HMB is known to help maintain muscle mass in healthy aging individuals in conjunction with or without exercise.
- HMB both stimulates protein synthesis and reduces breakdown within the muscles.
Vitamin D3
- Vitamin D3 is vital for bone and muscle health and strength. Higher serum Vitamin D3 levels are associated with muscle function, especially in older adults where sun exposure may be inadequate.
- Vitamin D is an essential nutrient to promote calcium metabolism in bones.
- The study indicated that HMB + Vit D3 could help improve muscle function, especially in older adults.
Benefits of HMB
Supplementing with 3g HMB daily may reduce age-related muscle loss and stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
HMB supplementation paired with exercise helps in the maintenance of body composition in older adults. HMB may also help the elderly with a sedentary lifestyle to maintain lean body mass.
Benefits of HMB
Reduce protein breakdown
A body of evidence recommends that at least 3g of HMB per day is required in order to obtain the muscle-sparing benefits via reduced protein breakdown in the muscle.
Stay stronger for longer
HMB helps reduce age-related decline in body composition which contributes to maintaining or improving quality of life.
FAQs
How much HMB should I take and how regularly can it be taken?
At least 3g HMB should be supplemented daily in order to experience HMB’s muscle-sparing and protein synthesising benefits.When should I take HMB?
Individuals aged 40+ should begin considering HMB supplementation. Active individuals may also benefit from taking HMB near exercising or working out. HMB is most effective when consumed for at least two weeks prior to exercise.
What are the benefits of HMB with Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for healthy muscle function and contraction.
