OLIMP HMB KAPS 450 CAPS

HMB (hydroxymethylbutyrate) is a bioactive food ingredient from the group of short-chain branched fatty acids, considered by some sources as a vitamin-like factor (with similar effect to vitamins), occurring naturally - in small amounts - in food, as well as produced in the human body, in the effect of the transformation of one of the branched chain amino acids - leucine. The results of numerous studies show that supplementing the HMB diet may contribute to facilitating the development of lean body mass - through the positive effect of this compound on the accumulation of muscle proteins and the reduction of adipose tissue.
Literature sources suggest that HMB has such a course of action due to:
- activation of kinases - enzymes that act as secondary messengers of information in protein synthesis processes
- cooperation with kinases in the activation of initiation complexes, starting the stage of protein synthesis called elongation
- inactivation of catabolic enzymes that degrade muscle proteins
- activation of steroidogenesis - steroid synthesis pathway, including anabolic steroid hormones such as e
influx of PPAR activity - receptors for fatty acids, stimulating the synthesis of red muscle fibers and production of many proteins involved in the transport and combustion of fatty acids.
