Matrix Pure HMB

What is Matrix HMB?

HMB ((?-Hydroxy-?-methylbutyrate) Is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine. HMB has been shown to be more effective than leucine at attenuating the rate of muscle protein breakdown and also induce muscle protein synthesis. Although leucine and HMB are similar in nature, they are metabolised differently. Increasing Leucine consumption would only result in modest increases in HMB levels. Supplementation is vital to increase HMB availability.

How will Matrix HMB help you?

Matrix HMB is primarily used as an anti-catabolic amino acid and also used to help with muscle protein synthesis.

Who is Matrix HMB ideal for?

Matrix HMB is ideal for anyone attempting to reduce the time in a catabolic state, increase muscle mass or going through periods of intense physical activity where accelerated recovery is desired.
