About this item HELPS BUILD LEAN MUSCLE MASS: The positive effects of Nutrex HMB 1000 – 120 Capsules will become increasingly pronounced with the length of time you use it. We suggest that you take HMB 1000 as soon as you wake up in the morning, right before every workout and just before bed. Using this strategy will help optimize your results from training. SUPPORTS MUSCLE TISSUE REPAIR AND RECOVERY: HMB (ß-Hydroxy ß-Methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid Leucine. It’s needed by the body to protect and repair muscle tissue. IMPROVES MUSCLE: To help minimize muscle breakdown during training and directly support muscle tissue repair, one serving of HMB 1000 should always be taken prior to working out. The more intense you train, the greater the benefits of HMB will be. INCREASES PROTEIN SYNTHESIS & REDUCES PROTEIN BREAKDOWN: Regular consumption of HMB slows down protein breakdown and improves protein synthesis. In athletes who engage in intense weight and resistance training this has numerous benefits: lean muscle gains, greater strength output, faster recovery and overall better response to training Note: Capsule Outer cover has been changed by the Brand Owner "Nutrex Research".
