HMB
HMB- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

[1 star] HMB, a breakdown product of an essential branched-chain amino acid, has a role in protein synthesis and might, therefore, improve muscle growth and overall body composition. Research suggests it might be effective only when combined with an exercise program in people who are not already highly trained athletes.HMB (beta hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine (one of the branched-chain amino acids).

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® HMB:
I started taking one a day on non-workout days. And two on workout days about two hours before my workout. In just two weeks I've noticed my muscle texture has become fuller and define in nature. I know it is recommended to take three a day, I will most likely work up to it. Also I've noticed more energy and less muscle pain, not a tremendous amount, just a little, but, it was noticeable!

Cons
Best Uses

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® HMB:
I use less than the suggested dosage, because I take in a lot of leucine. I stack it with creatine and glutamine.
HMB is the best thing that I take. It reduces muscle soreness to near zero. As a result, my workouts are longer and more intense, and 2x/day now. I have tested the effectiveness by pushing certain body parts well beyond their previous limits, and the next day, they felt fine.
I suggest this product to everyone that I discuss fitness with.Pros
- Quickens Recovery Time

- With meals
Comments about GNC Pro Performance® HMB:
This greatly improved my workouts and real world life afterwards. I normally am a little sore a day after a hard workout. Then a little more sore the next day and by the third day I hurt like hell. This kills my workouts. With HMB I can go all out and work the same muscle group two times a week and never really even get sore. If you are like me this is a must.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® HMB:
This suppliment seems to be most effective for the first three or so months that you take it, and then it's effects seem to wane. Definitely one of my favorites to cycle through, though, using it for a couple of months and then dropping it for a month or so. It is expensive, though, because the recomended doses are 12 pills per day. Thus the 240 count bottle is actually less than a month's supply. If you have the cash, though, give it a try. I'm certain you'll notice obvious effects, especially if you've never taken it before.
Pros
- Zip zero
Cons
- Too many pills to take
