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.


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.
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.
Muscle loss may affect the balance and gait, especially in ageing individuals. Muscle strength keeps you balanced and possibly reduces the risk of falls.

Supports muscle health
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.
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.
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.
