"Olimp HMB"

Olimp HMB is used especially by fitness beginners, advanced athletes and athletes starting training after a long break. HMB is a derivative of the essential amino acid leucine, which plays an important role in protein metabolism. HMB is best known for the results of sports science studies, which have become very popular in the fitness scene.

- pure HMB

- well tolerated

- highly dosed (96%)

What does HMB stand for?

HMB stands for beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and is a metabolic product of the amino acid L-leucine. Around 5% of the leucine ingested with food is metabolised to HMB. Muscles consist to a large extent of branched-chain amino acids, to which L-leucine also belongs. In sporting circles, HMB is said to have an anabolic (muscle-building) effect. The study situation is not clear and experiences vary. Some strength athletes report good results, while others have had little success with HMB.

What effect does HMB have?

A small proportion of the L-leucine consumed in the diet is metabolised to HMB. HMB is therefore a natural metabolic product that occurs in every healthy body. HMB is successfully used after injuries and in cases of muscle atrophy, which is also scientifically proven. Studies by J. Wilson and Manninen have raised high expectations for HMB since 2014.

Who is HMB best suited for?

Studies by Wilson and Manninen from 2008 to 2014 indicate a positive influence on beginners and novices, while professional athletes and extremely well-trained athletes have hardly any benefit from HMB as a supplement. We therefore recommend Olimp HMB for beginners and advanced athletes who have been training for at least 6 weeks.

Tips:

We at Vikingstore.ch recommend Olimp HMB during a bulking phase and during particularly hard training periods. The combination with Olimp Creatine Creapure is particularly useful for mass building.

HMB is recommended:

- to accelerate and increase effort adaptation

- to prevent the unfavourable health consequences of stress caused by environmental conditions and oxidation (hectic lifestyle, industrial work, heavy physical work, etc.)

- during convalescence after illnesses that result in increased nitrogen loss

- to alleviate the signs of ageing (age marasmus, loss of muscle mass, weakening of muscle strength)
