Scitec Mega HMB is a high-quality beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) in capsules. HMB is a metabolite of the BCAA amino acid leucine, which helps maintain muscle mass and recovery. This supplement is suitable for long-term and continuous use – both during the off-season and when preparing for competitions.
HMB is a metabolite of one of the branched-chain amino acids (leucine), which is formed only when the process of leucine metabolization begins in the human body. Since only a very small part (approximately only 5%) of the leucine present in the human body turns into HMB, a person should get this important component additionally by taking supplements.
The benefits of HMB for the human body (especially for athletes) are immense. First of all, it is worth emphasizing that HMB increases the endurance of an exercising person – even several hours of extremely intense training become much easier to overcome. But that's not all – people who get enough HMB find it much easier to get rid of fat mass. Another aspect of HMB's usefulness is that a sufficient amount of these substances strengthens immunity and also accelerates wound healing. The required amount of HMB also positively affects human muscles – studies show that those who get enough of this substance experience much less muscle pain after long workouts. Studies have shown that HMB consumption helps to restore muscles depleted after illness or injury more quickly. In addition, it is one of those components that helps to increase physical endurance and strength during physical exertion. It also reduces muscle pain.
It is also worth noting that HMB is one of those components that interacts with others. For example, if HMB is used together with creatine, even greater muscle mass and strength will be ensured. Of course, regarding the use of HMB and creatine, you should consult with your sports coach or nutrition consultant, who, after evaluating your desired goals, would provide precise recommendations.
