{"product_id":"hmb-ultra-caps","title":"HMB Ultra Caps | 365 Capsules | GEN","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGEN HMB Ultra Caps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003cstrong\u003eHMB\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom leucine to HMB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcium HMB as a form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcium as a carrier, and what that entails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy four capsules per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Capsule","offer_id":53159806599506,"sku":"gen-151","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/gen-hmb-ultra-caps-1.jpg?v=1793634787","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/hmb-ultra-caps","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
