This is a product for those who already know what training entails. GEN HMB Ultra Caps contain Calcium Beta-Hydroxy Beta-Methylbutyrate, the calcium salt of HMB. HMB is a substance your body produces itself from leucine, one of the branched-chain amino acids. This supplement provides HMB directly in capsule form. One bottle contains 365 capsules, enough for over three months.
You probably know leucine as one of the best-known amino acids in training. What many people do not know is that HMB, which stands for beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, is the metabolite your body produces from leucine. You convert roughly 5% of all leucine into HMB. Each daily dose of four capsules provides 3600 mg of calcium HMB, of which 3024 mg is pure HMB.
In this product, HMB is bound to calcium. The calcium part of the compound is primarily a carrier: it makes the HMB stable in capsule form.
Because Calcium HMB by definition contains calcium, each daily dose also provides 520 mg of elemental calcium. That is 65% of the daily reference intake, an amount you should not ignore. Calcium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. In addition, calcium is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and contributes to normal neurotransmission. This is not a calcium supplement in the classic sense, but it is good to know that with four capsules per day you are getting a significant amount of calcium. Keep this in mind if you already have other calcium-rich supplements or a lot of dairy in your routine, so that your total intake does not become unnecessarily high. For most athletes, that extra calcium is not a problem, but it is something to consider if you also take a calcium supplement.
Four capsules sounds like a lot, and it is compared to a product of one capsule per day. But the calculation is simple: each capsule contains 900 mg of calcium HMB, so four capsules together provide the 3600 mg from the recommended use. You can take the four at once or spread them throughout the day. Many athletes use HMB in addition to their existing routine with protein and creatine. The bottle contains 365 capsules, which at four per day amounts to over three months without reordering in between.
In short, this provides 3024 mg of pure HMB per day from the calcium form, supplemented with 520 mg of calcium. A short list of ingredients, a large bottle, and a clear dosage of four capsules per day. For the advanced athlete who wants to add HMB to their routine, that is a straightforward choice. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, and take the safety information into account if you use medication.
With four capsules per day, you get 3024 mg of HMB. Your body produces HMB itself from leucine; this product provides it directly in capsule form.
Free HMB is chemically unstable. Therefore, it is supplied here as a calcium salt. Each daily dose also provides 520 mg of calcium, which is 65% of the reference intake.
The jar contains 365 capsules. At four capsules per day, that's 91 doses, which is over three months. Exactly enough to complete an entire training block without having to reorder in between.
The ingredient list is short: Calcium-HMB, gelatin for the capsule, and stearic acid as an anti-caking agent. No extra additives, no flavourings, no colourings. The product has been laboratory tested.

HMB stands for beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate. It is a substance that your body produces itself from leucine, a branched-chain amino acid that you get through protein-rich food. Your body converts about 5% of all leucine into HMB. This supplement provides HMB directly, in the form of calcium-HMB.
Four capsules per day. Each capsule contains 900 mg of Calcium-HMB, of which 756 mg is pure HMB. With four capsules, you get 3024 mg of HMB per day.
Yes, you can. HMB itself is a metabolite of leucine, an amino acid found in high-protein foods. Many athletes use HMB in addition to their existing protein and creatine routine. However, stick to the recommended dosage on the label.
It is indeed more than with a product with one capsule a day. But that is because 900 mg of Calcium-HMB fits per capsule, and the recommended use is 3600 mg per day. You can take the four capsules at once or spread them throughout the day. The bottle contains 365 capsules, so you have about a 91-day supply, over three months.
Calcium-HMB is the calcium salt of HMB. Therefore, a daily dose of four capsules provides 520 mg of calcium in addition to 3024 mg of HMB, which is 65% of the reference intake. Keep this in mind if you already use other calcium-rich supplements.
Calcium-HMB is the calcium salt of HMB, and it is the most commonly used form in capsules and tablets. Free HMB acid (also known as HMB-FA) is the form without calcium. Calcium-HMB is chemically more stable and therefore more suitable for capsule form.
