Calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate

Ca-HMB

A leucine metabolite that supports your body's protein and lean-mass balance during recovery.

What it is

Ca-HMB is the calcium salt of HMB, a compound your body makes in small amounts from the amino acid leucine. Supplementing provides more than diet typically delivers, since the body converts only a small fraction of dietary leucine into HMB.

The role it plays

Recovery periods can be catabolic — the body breaks down more protein than usual. HMB is studied for its role in supporting muscle protein balance and helping attenuate protein breakdown, which is why maintaining lean mass matters during recovery, particularly in older adults.

It supports the body's overall protein economy rather than acting on the wound directly.
