Real Pharm HMB
Real Pharm HMB is a dietary supplement containing 3-hydroxy-3-methyl butyric acid (HMB). The preparation is a perfect complement to the supplementary protocol of each person or athlete who wants to improve the results in the discipline practiced.
HMB is a leucine metabolite
The addition of leucine into the diet combined with resistance training may allow the increase of lean body mass. What's more, it seems that leucine reduces soreness in skeletal muscles and prevents the loss of their strength after an intense physical workout. It is believed that this amino acid increases the adaptation to strength training acting as the main signal for the activation of protein synthesis. It is considered very probable that these effects partly dependent on the conversion of leucine to a particular metabolite. HMB seems to be second to none.
Benefits of HMB supplementation
Studies show that HMB supplementation reduces muscle proteolysis after resistance training, increases lean body mass and muscle strength, and improves regeneration in a dose-dependent manner. It is believed that taking HMB brings the greatest benefits to the group of non-experienced individuals practicing high-intensity training. In addition to accelerating the rate of regeneration, HMB may help athletes to prevent loss of lean body mass in catabolic situations such as caloric restriction. Admission of HMB may also be beneficial to improve body composition and physical fitness in professional athletes as well as the elderly people. It is worth adding that 3-hydroxy-3-methyl butyric acid may also improve aerobic capacity, although research in this matter is limited.
Post-workout regeneration
Researchers used a variety of indicators to study the effect of HMB supplementation on post-exercise muscle recovery, including skeletal muscle damage indicators such as creatine kinase [CK] and lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], and urine protein degradation rates. To make the results more reliable, recovery and skeletal muscle pain were also observed without HMB supplementation. It has been proven that HMB supplementation works by accelerating the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscles after intensive or prolonged exercise.
Synthesis of muscle proteins
It has been shown that the intake of HMB stimulates protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. It is believed that this takes place by stimulating the mTOR pathway, which plays a central role in controlling cell growth, primarily by affecting the efficiency of mRNA translation. In addition, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl butyric acid may affect the activity of protein synthesis by altering the activity of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which are one of the major anabolic factors. Moreover, HMB has been shown to affect satellite cells in skeletal muscle by a direct effect on the proliferation and differentiation of myoblasts resulting in a significant increase in the number of cells.
