Solid Gains
By Jeff Kern
HMB 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 probably do another cycle in a couple months and continue to do so. Another supplement that I took with this one and I'm still taking cause I haven't ran out yet is Tribulus Terrestris 90% Bulk Powder 25 Grams + FREE Primaforce D-Aspartic Acid 100 Grams. Do your research on this one too but combining trib and DAA is a powerful combo for increasing testosterone and as a result a lot more muscle. 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.

One of the best supplements I've ever used.
By majesticalseahorseknight
I've tried a lot of supplements over the years, creatine, L arginine, beta alanine, and so on, and this stuff is hands down one of the best, most effective supplements I've ever taken.First, and most importantly, it is completely safe. Do some research and see for yourself. Scientist and doctors alike have researched this supplement for years and years and found nothing but positive results. There are no side effects from taking HMB whatsoever. I know there are a lot of guys that will take supplements that aren't safe for them, but for myself safety is top priority.So I try to research the few supplements I take as much as I can. I suggest you do this as well.Second, and probably more important than the fact that it is safe to some people, it is effective. It basically makes it easier to pack on the muscle and keep it. So, if you're an ex-jock getting back into weight training or a workout and fitness neophyte it will help you pack on the muscle more quickly than you would do it on your own. And, if you've been training a while, and are having problems putting on lean mass and/or burning fat, HMB is really going to work well to support your goals(the fat burning is a by product of adding lean mass). It is so effective in protecting lean muscle mass that doctors prescribe HMB to AIDS/HIV patients to prevent muscle wasting. I think this really speaks to the efficacy of the supplement. I also know that I experienced some really nice muscle development stacking this with a whey hydrolysate protein and glutamine. I know the HMB contributed greatly because for the last year I was stacking the hydro whey and the glutamine and when I added the HMB it just seemed to supercharge my results. I've went through two bottles, a 60 day supply and I am so pleased with the progress I've had so far.Another thing I'd like to bring up is that Optimum Nutritions offering requires only three pills a day, taken one at a time with protein rich meals. Most other HMB offerings from other companies require you to ingest twelve to sixteen pills a day. Not cool!The pills are rather large, but not quite what I would call a horse pill. There is no after taste that I've noticed over the last two months or so of taking these capsules.The only downside is the price tag. To be honest, I'm going to continually fork out the cash because I know how well the stuff works, so I can't take away a "star" from the rating for price alone.Like I said, this is one of the best supplements I've ever tried. I rank it right up there with protein, bcaa's, glutamine and creatine. This is a staple supplement that should be in every athlete's supplement regimen. It has a proven track record demonstrating not only how effective it is at protecting and helping add lean mass, but also how safe it is to take on a daily basis. I strongly recommend taking HMB, and specifically Optimum Nutrition's HMB.
