Exercise performance and recovery is the main area connected here, and any felt benefit should be read together with the human evidence base.
Some human supplement-context evidence is present and directly informs the score.
Representative tier calculated from paper evidence that passed the collection audit.
The representative ingredient tier is calculated from these target-level evidence groups.
Potential benefit studied in Exercise performance and recovery.
This score reflects the strength of this benefit group. The ingredient tier also considers paper count, repetition, population, and study context.
Potential benefit studied in Immune and respiratory health. These findings come from a defined study population, so everyday effects may differ.
This score reflects the strength of this benefit group. The ingredient tier also considers paper count, repetition, population, and study context.
This card is closer to a measured biomarker or lab outcome than a directly felt user benefit.
This score reflects the strength of this benefit group. The ingredient tier also considers paper count, repetition, population, and study context.
This range includes studies in specific patient groups. It is not a general dose or recommendation.
Findings from studies of this ingredient alone are separated from findings involving another supplement or medication.
Positive combination findings are separated by how the study compared the groups. This is not a recommendation to combine them.
The combination had a positive result, but the contribution of each ingredient could not be separated.
Paper IDs and full lists are private. Only study types and summaries are shown.
An in depth and objective analysis of HMB research is provided and a comprehensive discussion on possible mechanisms, which HMB may operate through is provided.
[Abstract]: Loss of muscle mass due to prolonged bed rest decreases functional capacity and increases hospital morbidity and mortality in older adults. To determine if HMB, a leucine metabolite, is capable of attenuating muscle decline in healthy older adults
[Abstract]: This investigation evaluated the effects of oral beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation on training responses in resistance-trained male athletes who were randomly administered HMB in standard encapsulation (SH), HMB in time release
[Abstract]: Studies in young adults have demonstrated that beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) can increase gains in strength and fat-free mass during a progressive resistance-training program. The purpose of this study was to determine whether HMB would si
Investigation of the acute and timing effects of oral HMB supplementation on serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), muscle soreness, and maximal voluntary contraction found no clear acute or timing effects.
[Abstract]: BackgroundBeta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has been shown to be effective and superior to other types of protein supplements to attenuate loss of muscle mass, strength and function, however, its benefits in sarcopenic and frail older people r
