These are pretty expensive and you have to take 3 a day but overall they’re great

Necesario a partir de cierta edad

I haven't read any reviews on this stuff in a long time. From my previous knowledge and current experience, HMB is good for the first month or two of strength and mass gaining then it tapers off. Some people may have different stories, but if they have been at it a while, I doubt this helped them much, unless they really up their game and/or it had a placebo affect. I think most research and most users, only get that real benefit during that first few months, and really only for about two months of using this. That doesn't mean it doesn't help beyond that, but I am pretty sure for the cost, you have other options that will do you better. I have used it before and definitely got results. I had a layoff for a few years, I did not use it my first decade of working out. So when I got back into it and used this. Yeah, it helped for those few months. After some injuries, I am going at it again, and this is gonna be part of my regimes for two months, once I get through a few weeks of working my body back into the groove.

Good Supplement, but gets pricey fastHMB is a great supplement, only thing that has stopped me taking it in the past is that you usually need pretty high dosages for it to work. I wanted to try it finally and optimum has the best price and their other products have always been of good quality. I am taking 5 grams daily, which is 5 pills per day. This is the way to get results, do your research and you'll realize you're looking at less than a 30 day supply. Not a problem because I the gains I made it worth every penny. I will always try to stack it with Beta Alanine; ★ 50% Off Sale Today Only ★ Pure Beta Alanine Powder (200 Grams - Over 100 Servings) ★ Delay Muscle Fatigue - Promote Muscular Endurance - Improve Workout Performance ★ Try it 100% Risk Free. It can get expensive when you start stacking things with HMB during the same cycle but the beta is insane for increasing energy and combating muscle fatigue during the workout. I will probably do another cycle in a couple months and continue to do so.Nothing bad to say about any of these supplements, looking to increase weight by 20 pounds over the next six months and want to maximize the amount of muscle that is, and minimize the fat...these kinds of supplements are the best thing for that, hands down.

I'm often looking for better natural supplements to complement my workouts, and I always do at least some research into the products to make sure they are safe. I saw this one recommended in a bodybuilding forum and, after passing a very thorough Google search into safety and efficacy, I decided to give it a whirl. I purchased a bottle in late October 2013 and wasn't the best about taking as recommended (3 a day with each meal), but was pretty good about taking at least two per day. From about the 2-week mark forward I documented an increase in either reps or weight with every workout. I was floored. It should be noted that at the time I was also taking Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural Whey and BSN CellMass Creatine (the latter of which I discontinued in early December).Curious if the gains were due to other supplements or simply hard work, I decided to take a break from the HMB and did not reorder. Partly because of the price tag, the break was a little longer than planned, but I did notice that my gains started to falter after the HMB ran out and eventually I seemed to have hit a plateau. I also noticed that if I missed a workout I seemed to regress slightly and would then struggle to get back to where I was. Finally in May 2014 I ordered another bottle and again, around that 2-week mark the gains became noticeable. They weren't quite as impressive as the first round the previous fall (note I was not taking creatine, but still continued the whey protein supplementation), but they were still substantial nonetheless. I really like the ON brand, they seem quite responsible, and I am planning on keeping the HMB as a permanent part of my workout supplementation. I also plan on adding the ON CGT-10 since the HMB & Creatine combination did seem to work better for me than the HMB alone, but I'm still very impressed with this product.

I have no medical background so this is purely a layman's review. I am old (61) and decided to try this because of the "Ensure Muscle" product advertising (EM is too expensive and too high in calories). I'm semi-retired so I do put in a lot of gym time. After about 10 months of weight training and cardio and taking HMB for the last four months, I can say that I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm more ripped than I ever thought I could be at my age. So I believe it works. Can't be sure, but I think it does work. I'm going to stay on it.Edit 10/07/13: There's no doubt this stuff works. I've been on this since March 2011 and I will continue taking it. I'm now 64 and my physique looks downright unnatural for someone my age. I live in a condo with an outdoor pool and I'm afraid my neighbors think I'm doing steroids. Now, it isn't without work; as I mentioned above, I am mostly retired, have a lot of free time and spend a lot of time in the gym doing weights, running and now spin class (love it). This is good stuff and not expensive, considering the benefits it gives.
