From my own research, HMB is used to treat muscle-wasting diseases like HIV, and athletes use it to help preserve their lean muscle gains while they are "cutting". It's not touted as a miracle worker, but as one of a lineup of assistant supplements for athletes, and that's how I take it, along with betaine anhydrous, MSM, taurine, beta-alanine, creatine, zinc, cinnamon, chromium, berberine. I have a lot of "leftover" empty fat cells still, after losing 45 lbs over a year ago, and I take all this stuff because I am stone-cold serious about KEEPING that weight OFF. Those empty fat cells play havoc with a person's endocrine system: they constantly send hunger signals, trying to get me to eat enough to fill them with more fat. According to Weight Watchers' internal data, only 3% of people who lost weight still maintain the new weight after a year: this is how vigorous is the human body's mechanisms for survival during a famine, and this is what we are ALL up against, in trying to correct a lifetime of bad eating habits. I think my empty fat cells are dying off, but the process is agonizingly slow.I believe HMB *does* work. I have noticed that my strength actually *improved* slightly, even though I was not eating enough to "bulk up", as power-lifters say. Because I am on a continuous, disciplined diet to maintain my weight loss, I like HMB because controlled studies show it inhibits the breakdown of muscle under these conditions.As for Bulk Supplements as a company, I believe they are honest. I have no way of testing this product, of course, so I just have to decide to trust them (or not), as to whether what they have shipped me is actually pure hydroxy-methyl-butyrate. But the product has a slightly funky taste, and after taking it for months now, and after RE-purchasing another larger bag, the product still has that same slightly funky taste. I know that taste well by now. It is recommended that you take HMB with food, so I mix it in a blender with V8 or tomato juice, and drink it in the morning. Whatever they shipped me, it is the same product; and it has indeed improved my strength slightly, and I take several other things that I have bought from Bulk Supplements, and I have no reason to doubt their claim that this is actually pure HMB.Don't expect this product to turn you into Arnold Schwarzenegger, and don't expect it to shred you and make you look like Jackie Chan. It is only moderately effective. Bulk Supplements makes no miraculous claims about HMB: they only promise that the product is pure, as advertised, and I believe they are telling the truth. And because it is sold in bulk bags, it is about as cost-effective as anyone could hope. IF you are an athlete trying to stay lean and preserve your lean muscle mass, or even if you're just a regular person trying to lose weight and keep it off, this product will HELP you do that.As for the cost of taking a dozen supplements, I think that cost is offset by the savings I have achieved, by NOT buying and eating all that ice cream, Oreos, pizza, Doritos, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc... and all my lady friends rave about how much better I look now.

I had heard about this product on a women's health podcast that was specifically talking about how older people do not process protein the same and we need more protein as we get older to maintain muscle mass. Supposedly this product can help with building and maintaining of muscle, so I wanted to try it. I had also read that this is one of the supplements Tony Horton had used to help him recover after his illness.I have gotten back to working out consistently and being mindful of getting enough protein, which can be very challenging. I was supplementing with 3g per day of this HMB Powder and despite my resistance and HIIT training my muscles still felt soft to me. A way I could always tell was when I would cross my arms and feel my biceps, they felt pretty strong and not soft. I was still feeling soft and thought the HMB powder really wasn't benefiting me at all. However, I decided to give it more time because I heard it can take a month or more until your body starts to adapt to it. I think it was about a month and a half in I noticed my arms feeling strong again and even after missing a week or two of workouts they still felt strong. I do believe it is from the HMB Powder as I mentioned I was struggling before.I would be curious to go without it and see if I noticed a decline in my strength and mass without it, but after all the hard work and consistency I've had I'm not sure it's worth it to me.This product does not come with a scoop and suggests 1/3 of a tsp as a serving size, so I just eyeball it. I use it in my morning smoothie and do not notice any difference in taste. Sometimes I take a little bit more post workout just mixed with protein powder and also notice no additional flavor. My husband and I both take it and one pouch has lasted us quite a while with both of us taking it daily.I would definitely recommend it. Give it TIME and see if it works for you!

I've been using HMB powder (Calcium HMB) for a few months now, and it has truly exceeded my expectations. As someone who regularly trains in the gym, I was looking for a supplement to help support muscle recovery and strength, and this product delivers on all fronts.What I love most is how quickly I noticed a difference. My recovery time has significantly improved—I'm no longer feeling as sore after intense workouts, and I can push harder during training sessions. The added calcium is a great bonus, supporting both muscle and bone health.The powder is easy to mix with my protein shake, and there's no unpleasant taste, which is a huge plus. I've also found that it doesn’t upset my stomach, unlike some other supplements I’ve tried.Overall, this HMB powder has become a staple in my routine. It’s a fantastic option for anyone looking to maintain muscle mass, boost strength, and recover faster. Highly recommended!
