HiTec HMB

HMB in capsules is an extremely strong anticatabolic agent in the form of Ca-HMβ. HMß is a derivative of the amino acid L-leucine, which reduces muscle breakdown conditioned by training or stress.

EFFECTS OF HMB

HMB is very effective during extremely intense sports loads. However, at lower loading intensities or light fitness training, the effects listed below are expressed weakly or not at all. Because the half-life of HMß is only about 2 hours, it must therefore be taken during the day in tablet form, during training in the form of rapidly absorbable capsules, but preferably in liquid form, when absorption is most efficient!

• promotes muscle mass growth and increases absolute strength
• accelerates the body's adaptation to increased physical exertion
• protects muscle cells
• anti-catabolic, prevents protein breakdown (catabolism)
• positively influences the oxygen capacity of the body
• essential for cholesterol synthesis and the construction of biological membranes
• reduces the accumulation of reserve fat in the body.
• Excellent complement with creatine
• beneficial effect on the psychological state
• has a positive effect on mood
  

WHO IS HMB FOR?

HMB is the ideal product for any athlete who wants to improve the quality of their muscles in a short time. It is most often used during the period of reduction diets, because with a long-term calorie deficit and low carbohydrates, the body can start to create energy for the muscles by gradually breaking down the muscle (catabolism) and HMB strongly prevents this phenomenon.

SAFETY AND OTHER EFFECTS

Due to the popularity of HMB and its relatively high dosage (around 3 g per day), the issue of possible side effects has been studied quite intensively. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the use of HMB is not accompanied by virtually any side effects. Not only the effects on organ functions, but also a number of biochemical and haematological parameters have been investigated.

HMB has been used for supplementation of both cancer and AIDS patients and in both cases a clear beneficial effect on nutritional status has been observed.
Thus, it can be said that HMB is one of the few sports supplements for which no negative effects on the human body have been found that would call into question the safety or ethics of supplementation with this substance.

At the same time, HMB is also likely to have lipolytic effects. It promotes the oxidation of fatty acids, thus using them as a source of energy. This is quite significant as prolonged exercise depletes muscle and liver glycogen stores and the body has to rely on energy stored in adipose tissue, which is relatively difficult to mobilise. At the same time, it increases the anaerobic threshold, the time when the body begins to break down carbohydrates by anaerobic glycolysis.
The ergogenic (performance-enhancing) effects of HMB are likely to be dependent on the duration of administration, with short-term administration (less than 10 days) usually not leading to the desired effect.
