HMB Calcium is the calcium salt form of β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (HMB), a metabolite of the essential amino acid Leucine. It plays an important role in muscle protein metabolism, helping to reduce muscle breakdown (anti-catabolic effect) and supporting lean muscle mass growth.
HMB Ca is widely used in sports nutrition, bodybuilding supplements, and elderly sarcopenia prevention. It is especially valued for its dual benefits of muscle preservation and bone health, as the calcium component further supports skeletal strength.
