HMB

HMB (short for β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) is a supplement which is a metabolite of leucine. When compared to leucine, HMB appears to be significantly more potent on a gram per gram basis at attenuating the rate of muscle protein breakdown but is less effective than leucine at inducing muscle protein synthesis. Due to this, HMB is purposed to reduce the rate of muscle breakdown.
HMB, currently, appears to be a pretty interesting supplement for the purpose of reducing muscle wasting during periods where muscle atrophy is accelerated.
