HMB stands for β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, which is naturally produced in our bodies during the metabolism of the essential amino acid leucine. Leucine is a part of the food chain – we consume it every day in foods like soybeans, beef, alfalfa, and fish. Some proteins have more leucine than others, however it is difficult if not impossible to consume enough protein through supplementation or a healthy diet alone to achieve the effective amount of HMB your body needs.

Great Question! The simple answer is no other recovery drinks have the amounts of ingredients that Cowbell contains. No other drink compares.

You can Drink Cowbell before or after your work out. To maximize the benefits of HMB and Glucosamine you should drink Cowbell on your rest days as well. Up to 2 cans a day.

No, Cowbell does not contain artificial flavors or sweeteners. Cowbell is created using tunnel pasteurization - and does not contain any preservatives.

Yes, you should consume HMB daily. The recommended dosage is three grams per day for average-size individuals. If you want to “customize” your dosage, research has shown that 38 mg/kg body weight each day is optimal.

Yes, HMB has had extensive clinical studies conducted to specifically evaluate the safety of HMB, and no negative side effects have been recorded in either men or women whether young or elderly. A summary of the effects of HMB on hematology, emotional profile, and adverse effects as measured in nine clinical studies showed only positive effects on cholesterol (7 percent decrease) and blood pressure (4.4 mm of Hg decrease).

Yes, HMB does improve muscle mass through its unique dual-action of increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein breakdown. These mechanisms blunt muscle damage allowing you to recover faster and build muscle.

Yes, BetaTOR HMB® is acceptable for sports use and does not contain any banned substances in accordance with WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency).

In clinical studies, HMB users have consistently improved strength, reduced muscle damage, and have also improved body composition with exercise when compared with placebo test subjects. Research suggests that HMB supplementation also provides benefits to runners, cyclists, and other endurance-training individuals. Newer research has also shown that the combination of HMB and Vitamin D3 improved muscle function in older adults, even without exercise. Studies show that measurable increases in strength and prevention for overtraining occur in only a couple of weeks; however, it will most likely take three or four weeks to produce results that will also be noticed by friends and coworkers depending upon the level of training and overall training status.

Erythritol: occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods.

Sugar: The real deal!

Monk Fruit Extract:This sweetener is created by removing the seeds and skin of the fruit and crushing it to collect the juice, which is then dried into a concentrated powder.

Stevia Extract: is a sugar substitute made from the leaves of the stevia plant.

Some of the carbs in Cowbell come from Erythritol, which is a natural sweetener that passes largely undigested through the body. Erythritol has a glycemic index of 0.

Yes.

HMB is important for our aging muscles. As we age, it is inevitable that we will experience muscle loss. Supplementing with HMB can help prevent or slow the process of muscle loss to improve overall health, strength, and mobility.

Pregnant or lactating women are advised against taking HMB because safety studies have not yet been conducted for these populations. Also, individuals with any known medical problems and adolescents should consult with their physicians prior to using HMB, as they should with all dietary supplements.

Because of the Erythritol. On average, sugar alcohols provide about half the calories of sugar and other carbohydrates. Erythritol also does not spike insulin.
