HMB or Beta-Hydroxy Beta-methylbutyrate (also shown as -hydroxy -methylbutyrate monohydrate) is a byproduct of the normal breakdown of the amino acid Leucine. It is therefore a metabolite of the essential amino acid – Leucine. HMB is produced in our body from the proteins in our diet and is also consumed in small amounts from the foods we eat.
