3-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid

Description:

3-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyric acid, also known as HMB (β-Hydroxy β-methylbutyric acid), is a branched-chain fatty acid derivative that is commonly associated with muscle metabolism and health. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water, making it bioavailable for various biological applications. HMB is produced in small amounts in the body from the amino acid leucine and is known for its potential role in promoting muscle growth, reducing muscle breakdown, and aiding recovery after exercise. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to a butyric acid backbone, contributing to its unique properties. HMB is often used as a dietary supplement, particularly among athletes and bodybuilders, due to its purported benefits in enhancing strength and muscle mass. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects in various conditions, including muscle wasting and certain chronic diseases. As with any supplement, it is important to consider dosage and consult with healthcare professionals before use.
