Discount HMB

EAS was the first company to bring Discount EAS HMB to the market. Since then, it has been written up in numerous health and fitness magazines, hundreds of newspapers, and it's been featured on dozens of TV news programs as an exciting, breakthrough supplement that might allow people to get better results faster from the time they spend exercising.
The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolite ß-hydroxy ß-methylbutyrate monohydrate (Discount EAS HMB) has been shown to support the body's ability to minimize protein (i.e., muscle) breakdown and damage to muscle cells, which can occur after intense resistance exercise. By reducing muscle tissue breakdown, Discount EAS HMB may tip the scales of protein turnover in favor of new muscle growth. EAS was the first company to bring Discount EAS HMB to the market. Since then, it has been written up in numerous health and fitness magazines, hundreds of newspapers, and it's been featured on dozens of TV news programs as an exciting, breakthrough supplement that might allow people to get better results faster from the time they spend exercising. Q: How do you supplement with Discount EAS HMB? A: Discount EAS HMB is simple and easy to use. The recommended use is to take four capsules, three times daily with meals. That's a total of 12 capsules per day. Some research suggests larger individuals (over 200 pounds) may need more, up to 5 or 6 grams per day. Discount EAS HMB can be used with a multi-nutrient/nutrition shake product or just regular food. Discount EAS HMB does not eliminate the need for any other supplement nor does Discount EAS HMB have to be used along with any other supplement. Of course, those who are using Discount EAS HMB in an effort to stimulate gains in muscle size and strength should obviously be engaged in regular, intense weight-training exercise. Q: Since all of the positive effects of Discount EAS HMB use have been linked to intense exercise, what is the rationale for using Discount EAS HMB on non-training days? A: It's probably important to continue taking Discount EAS HMB even on your "off" days and here's why. Not only does Discount EAS HMB play a role in "protecting" your muscles from excessive damage, it may also aid in the growth and repair of muscle tissue during your days away from the gym. If you avoid taking Discount EAS HMB on these days, you may be missing the opportunity to boost your recuperative abilities. However, it may make sense to take less Discount EAS HMB on non-training days. And here's something else to consider about taking Discount EAS HMB: some anecdotal and research-based information seems to indicate that it may be beneficial to take more Discount EAS HMB than the recommendation of three grams per day. Some athletes have experienced improved results from as much as five grams per day. Experts have speculated that the improved benefits of higher dosages may be due to the bodyweight of these weight-training athletes, as many of them weigh much more than 200 pounds. So if you're well over 200 pounds, a sample Discount EAS HMB dosing schedule may be trying five or six grams on training days and two to three grams on off days. Although the total amount of Discount EAS HMB may be reduced on non-training days, it's important to increase the frequency of Discount EAS HMB supplementation to maintain a consistent blood level and thereby potentially increase its effectiveness. For example, you might try consuming a half-serving of Discount EAS HMB five or six times a day rather than a full serving three times a day. Q: I was wondering if the recommended dosage of supplements like creatine and Discount EAS HMB should be adjusted according to bodyweight or gender? A: Although studies have not been done to answer this particular question, logic dictates that if a 200-lb guy gets good results using 3 grams of Discount EAS HMB a day, a 135-lb woman should get good results by using 2 grams a day. It also seems to make sense that if a 200-lb athlete experiences positive results using a maintenance dose of creatine (6-10 grams), then a woman who weighs 135 lbs might need only 4-6 grams of creatine a day. By the same token, atheletes who weigh over 200 lbs might benefit from taking more of these supplements to get optimal results.

Q: What does Discount EAS HMB do?

A: Researchers are not completely certain how Discount EAS HMB works in the body. It appears that this amino acid metabolite supports the body's ability to minimize protein breakdown subsequent to stress such as intense exercise and it also may work to preserve the integrity of cell membranes. By minimizing protein breakdown, Discount EAS HMB, when combined with a resistance-training program, may cause an increase in muscle mass and strength. The exact mechanism behind Discount EAS HMB's effectiveness will have to be determined in future research.

Q: What kind of research has been performed using Discount EAS HMB?

A: Discount EAS HMB has been extensively studied by doctors and researchers. Many species of animals have been studied while using Discount EAS HMB to examine the safety and effectiveness of the compound, and toxicity studies to date suggest that Discount EAS HMB is safe for human use. In one study, which involved people who participated in a weight-training-like workout, test subjects who used three grams of Discount EAS HMB a day gained much more lean mass and experienced significantly greater strength gains, in just three weeks, than those who did not use the product.

A: We produce from .3 to 1 gram of Discount EAS HMB in our bodies per day. Also, Discount EAS HMB occurs naturally in various whole foods such as grapefruit and catfish. Thus Discount EAS HMB is not a drug, and studies to date suggest no adverse side effects. Q: What is Discount EAS HMB? A: Discount EAS HMB stands for beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. It's a metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. Discount EAS HMB is found in foods of both plant and animal origin, and Discount EAS HMB is also normally produced in the body. (Depending on the nutritional program, from .3 grams to 1 gram of Discount EAS HMB is produced in the body per day.) Its precursors are the amino acid leucine and the keto acid KIC. Certain plants such as alfalfa and plant products such as corn silage appear to have relatively large concentrations of Discount EAS HMB. Grapefruit and catfish also contain relatively high concentrations of this nutrient. However, similar to various vitamins and other micronutrients, it is extremely difficult and impractical to consume enough of these foods on a regular basis to provide the full benefits of Discount EAS HMB. It is probably much more practical to use a dietary supplement containing pure Discount EAS HMB.

Q: Is Discount EAS HMB just for young, serious athletes, or can older, physically active individuals also benefit from using it?

A: As long as individuals exercise, Discount EAS HMB may be beneficial for older as well as younger athletes. In fact, from a recent study published in the FASEB Journal [12.5 (1998) : A652], researchers concluded that Discount EAS HMB may indeed enhance the effects of modest exercise on the body composition of older adults. In this study with a group of older subjects (15 men and 16 women, mean age: 70+/-1 yrs.) participating in a 5-day/week exercise program, the group taking Discount EAS HMB experienced a decrease in bodyfat and an increase in lean body mass. Subjects participated in a three-day/week walking program and a two-day/week strength training program for eight weeks.

Q: Can I get the same effects of Discount EAS HMB by taking the amino acid leucine?
