HMB 1000

HMB 1000, from Vitobest®, is a supplement designed for all types of athletes, this product helps increase muscle mass and reduce recovery time after intense exercise.

The hydroxymethylbutyrate (ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate), popularly known by the acronym HMB, is a byproduct derived from the metabolism of leucine, the essential amino acid that plays an important role in protein synthesis.

As has been demonstrated, when used as a nutritional supplement, HMB prevents muscle catabolism (muscle breakdown) and reduces recovery times after high-intensity exercise.

Hydroxymethylbutyrate reduces catabolism and promotes the gain of strength and lean muscle mass. It partially prevents exercise-induced proteolysis and muscle damage, and can generate greater gains in muscle function associated with resistance training¹.

HMB 1000 from Vitobest® helps to:

• Improve muscle contraction and strength.
• Promote the stability of the muscle cell membrane due to an increase in cholesterol synthesis.
• Decrease recovery time after high-intensity effort (reduces muscle damage).
• Increase protein synthesis, which translates into an increase in muscle mass.
