HMB Powder
Studies show HMB may assist in supporting:
- Protein synthesis¹
- Muscle protein breakdown management²
- Development of lean muscle mass³
- Recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage⁴
- Muscular strength when combined with resistance training⁵
- Healthy body composition⁶
- Muscle maintenance in older adults (research context)⁷
- Muscle mass during periods of reduced activity (e.g. bed rest)⁸
- Aspects of anaerobic peak power and endurance performance⁹
- Potential combined benefits with creatine monohydrate¹⁰
- Exercise-related inflammation (research context)¹¹
- Aspects of cognition, including learning and memory (exploratory research)¹²

HMB (Hydroxy Methyl Butyrate) is widely researched for its role in supporting muscle health. It has been studied in relation to both stimulating protein synthesis (anabolism) and reducing muscle protein breakdown (anti-catabolism), making it a popular option for those engaged in regular resistance or endurance training.
HMB is a natural metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. When you consume high-protein foods rich in leucine, a small amount is converted into HMB, which has been researched for its potential to support muscle maintenance and development.
By adding a HMB supplement to your diet, you are providing additional support for the body’s natural processes involved in muscle maintenance and development.
Since the mid-1990s, studies suggest that supplementation with HMB may assist in supporting:
- Protein synthesis¹
- Muscle protein breakdown management²
- Development of lean muscle mass³
- Recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage⁴
- Muscular strength when combined with resistance training⁵
- Healthy body composition⁶
HMB is thought to work in a similar way to leucine by interacting with the mTOR pathway, which is involved in muscle anabolism.
Additional Research Areas:
- Supporting muscle maintenance in older adults experiencing natural age-related decline⁷
- Supporting muscle mass during periods of reduced activity (e.g. bed rest)⁸
- Aspects of anaerobic peak power and endurance performance⁹
- Potential combined benefits with creatine monohydrate¹⁰
- Supporting exercise-related inflammation¹¹
- Exploratory research into aspects of cognition, including learning and memory¹²
Gluten free and suitable for vegans.
Available in 200g packs.

Consume a minimum of 3g to a maximum of 6 per per day in divided doses in 200ml of water or added to a shake.
Best Results on workout days: Divide your daily dosage with 1-2g pre workout, 1-2g post workout and 1-2g before going to sleep.
Best Results on rest days: Divide your daily dosage with 1.5g with first meal of the day and 1.5g before going to sleep.
HMB Powder works best when taken with creatine.
And also stacks well as part of:

Pleasantly surprised
By: Karen Hall on 2 March 2024First time user of supplement to assist with lost muscle mass following fractures from a fall. Can’t comment on whether this has helped me but taste is delicious and I am improving.

Quality in Australia
By: Lynette Smith on 21 September 2022not used enough to really comment but Prof Whey have quality products and you can't go wrong using their stuff. Have used other of their products in the past with good effect.
