CNP Pro HMB (Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the essential amino acid Leucine, which plays a key role in protein synthesis. This product helps to reduce muscle breakdown & is more effective than Leucine, when used for this purpose. It has been formulated to reducing muscle wasting, especially during periods where muscle atrophy is accelerated & may also still be effective on athletes following restricted diets. HMB can produced from the protein in our diet & is also found in small quantities of some foods. However, it can be difficult to obtain enough levels of this in our daily nutrition, making supplementation an ideal & simple solution. HMB can be used to protect & build healthy muscle tissue, making these an effective muscle support supplement. Great to be taken before & after training to reduce muscle breakdown. HMB provides 1500mg of HMB per capsule. HMB tends to be most effective in the dosage range of 1-3g daily in order to help minimise muscle mass loss & reduce the rate of muscle breakdown.
