| Product
Information: |
Balance 100% Pharmaceutical Grade HMB provides Calcium B-Hydroxy B-methylbutyrate, in a pure powder form. HMB is an important anti-catabolic that has shown to support the body’s ability to minimise protein breakdown and damage to muscle cells that can occur subsequent to intense training.
HMB is a metabolite of the essential branch chain amino acid (BCAA) L-Leucine. Leucine is a major component of muscle tissue and is metabolised firstly to Keto Isocaproic Acid (KIC) and then to HMB within your body.

Recommended Use
Serving size = 1000mg (½ teaspoon). Three serves (3 grams of HMB) is recommended daily to be takenwith food. Alternatively one serve may be taken in the morning followed by two serves two hours before exercise.
Precautions / Contra-indications
To date, short-term studies have not shown any adverse side effects of HMB in humans, when taken in the recommended dosage range.
Pregnant or lactating women should not take HMB supplements without medical advice.
Mode of Action
HMB (ß-hydroxy-ß-methylbutyrate) is a natural compound produced in the body, derived from the branched-chain amino acid, leucine. A portion of the leucine within the skeletal muscles is metabolised into the intermediary product, -ketoisocaproate (KIC) via transanimation. The enzyme Dioxygenase converts KIC into HMB in the cytosolic compartment.
Approximately 5% of the Leucine in the body each day is converted to HMB producing about 0.2 to 0.4 g of HMB a day in a 70 Kg individual.
The general theory is that HMB reduces or prevents protein breakdown, and it on this premise that HMB has become a popular dietary supplement for bodybuilders and other athletes who are trying to increase lean body mass and muscle strength.
Indications
Reported effects of HMB include:
# Prevents muscle catabolism, speeds muscle repair, and increases lean body mass
# Decreases body fat and blood cholesterol levels
# Enhances the effects of Creatine supplementation
# Decreases muscle tissue damage and improves recovery.
# Promotes a reduction in body fat percentage
