HMB

Potent Anti-Catabolic* (Reduce Muscle Breakdown) [R, R, R] Upregulates Anabolic Signaling* (Increase Muscle Protein Synthesis) [R, R, R] Reduces DOMS* (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) [R, R] Enhances Recovery* [R] Introducing Gorilla™ HMB – our β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate (HMB) formula. HMB is an isolated metabolite of the protein synthesis-activating essential amino acid leucine [R]. The primary utility of HMB in the body is to inhibit the catabolism of muscle tissue [R]. HMB VS. LEUCINE Gram for gram, literature suggests that HMB is 20x more potent than Leucine at inhibiting muscle breakdown [R, R]. 1-3 grams of HMB is seen as equivalent to 20–60g of leucine supplementation for this purpose [R, R]. An individual would need to consume over 600 g of high quality protein to obtain the amount of leucine (60 grams) necessary to produce the typical 3 g daily dosage of HMB used in human studies [R]. This doesn’t mean throw your EAA’s in the garbage and start pounding HMB, they each may hav
