Optimum Nutrition HMB 1000 Caps, 1g of Calcium beta-Hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate per Capsule, 90 Capsules, 30 Servings

I’ve been taking Optimum Nutrition HMB 1000 Caps for almost a month now, and I can honestly say I’m starting to notice a difference. The biggest change for me has been quicker recovery between workouts. At 65 years old, that’s huge — I used to deal with more muscle soreness and occasional cramps between training sessions, but since starting HMB, that’s been noticeably reduced. As for strength, it’s harder to judge since performance can vary day to day, but the consistent improvement in recovery has made my workouts feel more manageable and enjoyable. Overall, this product has been a solid addition to my supplement routine, and I plan to keep using it.

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.

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 feel this is a good product. Only observation would be that the pills are way too big and hard to swallow.

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.

This is a good supplement to take post work out with a meal to elevate muscle growth and stability along with a regular diet. I have been trying to cut back on overall calories and this seems to be helping with sustaining muscle and faster rehab between workouts.

Since i started with two caps a day it seems like my recovery time has been shortened. Sometimes even right after a normal workout that would usually leave me feeling pretty drained I feel like I can keep going. I also feel more fullness in my muscles after a workout (more of a "pump"). So for now I'm quite happy with it and will continue to use it and evaluate. Like any supplement it can take a long time to be sure it is actually consistently helpful over time. **Edit:** After using this for a while I do believe it has helped my strength and recovery time. After reading the research on this supplement I discovered that the most critical time to take it is prior to a workout, particularly weight training. The recommended dose I saw used was 3 grams immediately prior to exercise. Interestingly one study noted that taking HMB at other times had little to no effect so it is critical to take it right before a workout where it has been demonstrated that HMB can lower post-exercise markers of catabolism.

I really liked this product, it met what I needed, the fast and efficient service.

Great for workingout

一日三回食事とともに飲んでいます。 効果に関しては、飲み始めて一ヶ月ちょっとですので、まだ分かりませね。 HMB自体も、効果があるなしで様々な記事がありますし、とりあえず飲んでみてる状態です。 写真を付けましたが、個人的にはカプセルが大きめだと感じました。 毎回、気合を入れて飲んでます笑 カプセル剤ですが、別に中身だけを飲んでも問題ないはずなので、カプセルを噛み砕いても大丈夫だと思います。 一度試しましたが、物凄く不味いです... 値段もお手頃で試しに飲むならちょうどいいと思いますよ。
