Muscle Protect™ with HMB® provides a great-tasting, leucine-rich blend of essential amino acids combined with HMB®, vitamin D3, and glutamine for muscle maintenance. Leucine, a branched-chain amino acid, has an anabolic role in muscle protein synthesis and may specifically benefit aging adults by preserving healthy muscle mass and function.
β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of leucine that supports lean muscle mass through two unique mechanisms: decreased muscle degradation and increased protein synthesis. Vitamin D and glutamine provide additional support for muscle health.*
Suggested use
As a dietary supplement, adults take 1 scoop, 1-2 times daily dissolved in 8-10 oz of water or other beverage, or as directed by a health professional.

⚠ Key cautions
Cautions: combination formula (HMB + leucine-rich essential amino acids + glutamine + vitamin D3 + calcium) — total calcium (210mg/scoop) and vitamin D3 (500 IU/scoop) contribution should be accounted for against other supplement/dietary sources. Prescription interactions: no well-established drug interactions for HMB itself; amino-acid/protein load warrants caution in significant renal impairment. Priority: Low-moderate.
