Creatine + HMB vs. Creatine?

I changed my mind, he's growing on me

I'd say HMB can help during intense phases or after a break, but for regular training, creatine alone should be plenty.

To update, am feeling stronger and pulling/pushing more weight. Use HMB 1hr b4 workout and Creatine + glutamine after with protein powder.

Too long to read to catch up…but my wife is having trouble getting anything in prior to early morning training due to nauesea and subsequent vomiting. Would a few grams HMB be the place for that?

Meh... maybe? I just gave hmb a decent 3-4 month shot. Can't say I noticed anything. MAYBE spared some muscle on a cut... Can't say id use it again. It's pretty damn cheap though, so not a big investment.

Yes, she’s in a cut so maybe it’s the right time.

Anyone else care to chime in? @Resolve10

Oral hmb sucks

Did you know that the kidneys filter out and waste almost 40% of an oral HMB dose? And that after a hard initial hit to mTOR it is cleared very quickly? Did you know that it also tastes terrible?

Hmm.

You really should try stepping away from AI and reading real studies sometimes; and to also stop posting false information.

HMB was originally overhyped and that led to unrealistic expectations - as it has with many things.

But it does not "suck" - and there are numerous studies that show it to be effective.

Hmm.

Did you know that that is the case with many things?
Hence, why setting the correct dosage takes that into consideration.

Did you know that real HMB doesn't have much of a taste to it?
So if you've tried one that tastes "horrible" then that's either a matter of opinion or you need to check your source.


We don't even make an HMB, so I have no interest in anything about this other than clarifying things to make sure that people reading have truthful information.

Hmm.

So, take a bigger dose you’re saying?

Hmm.

I've never had HMB that tasted bad. I think of it as having a fairly neutral flavor. I've had it in plain water countless times and never noticed the taste.
