β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate Calcium (HMB-Ca) can be used to promote muscle growth, enhance immunity, reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels in the body to reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease, and enhance nitrogen fixation in the body ability to maintain protein levels in the body. It can be added to beverages, milk and dairy products, cocoa products, chocolate and chocolate products, as well as candy, baked goods, special dietary foods, and the recommended amount is still ≤3 g/day.

Application:

1. The mechanisms of action of HMB include inhibiting proteolysis and increasing protein synthesis.

2. There are currently two forms of HMB: the calcium salt of HMB (HMB-Ca) and the free acid form of HMB (HMB-FA). Compared with HMB-Ca, HMB-FA can increase the absorption and retention of HMB in plasma to a greater extent.

3. Professional athletes or amateurs take HMB to reduce exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage, thereby enhancing recovery.

4. The effect of HMB is related to the time of taking it. Taking HMB before training can benefit professional athletes.

5. HMB-FA is most effective when taken 0.5-1 hour before exercise, while HMB-Ca is most effective when taken 1-2 hours before exercise.

6. On the premise of proper exercise, daily consumption of 38 mg/kg of HMB can enhance skeletal muscle endurance and explosive power in professional athletes or amateurs.

7. In terms of long-term benefits, it is generally believed that before a high-intensity exercise/competition, taking a dose of 3 g/day for at least 2 consecutive weeks can achieve the best results.

8. Consuming HMB in combination with a structured exercise program may reduce fat mass more.

9. Experiments have shown that HMB can increase lean body mass and body function in the elderly and sedentary people.

10. Current evidence shows that long-term use of HMB is safe for both the young and the elderly.
