Ca-HMB vs HMB FA

[uubiduu]

Is the first one completely useless compared to the free acid? The latter one is muuuch more expensive unfortunately. Did anyone have good effects with one of these?

I wouldn’t call CA-HMB completely useless, but I’m not going out of my way to purchase it either:

Combined protein and calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate induced gains in leg fat free mass: a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study - Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition

Background The leucine metabolite β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is widely used as an ergogenic supplement to increase resistance-training induced gains in fat free mass (FFM) and strength in healthy adults. Recent studies have questioned the effectiveness of HMB, particularly when a high...

Effect of calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (CaHMB) with and without resistance training in men and women 65+yrs: a randomized, double-blind pilot trial - PubMed

CaHMB improved strength and MQ without RE. Further, RE is an effective intervention for improving all measures of body composition and functionality.
