@thebeautydoctrine: Protect it 💪 MUSCLE OVER COLLAGEN, Part 4: HMB Everyone talks about building muscle. I'm equally interested in preserving the muscle we've already worked for. HMB, or beta hydroxy beta methylbutyrate, is a metabolite your body naturally produces from leucine. What makes it interesting is that HMB has been studied not only in relation to muscle protein synthesis, but also for its effects on muscle protein breakdown. And that distinction matters. Creatine supports the energy system that helps you train. Leucine participates in signaling muscle protein synthesis. HMB interests me from the other side of the equation: helping support muscle preservation, particularly during periods when muscle may be more vulnerable. The human evidence isn't perfect. Some studies and meta analyses report improvements in lean mass, strength or physical function, while others find smaller or no additional effects, particularly alongside resistance training. That's why I'm not calling HMB a miracle muscle builder. I'm looking at it as another potential tool in a much bigger strategy: Resistance training. Adequate protein. Creatine. Leucine. And targeted support when it makes sense. The MuscleTech Clear Muscle I'm using contains HMB free acid. Because the goal isn't just to build muscle. It's to keep it. MUSCLE OVER COLLAGEN. As with any supplement, individual needs vary. Check with your healthcare professional if you have a medical condition, take medications, or aren't sure whether HMB is appropriate for you. #MuscleTech #WomenOver40 #MuscleHealth #HealthyAging #StrengthTraining
