How to get the most from your HMB Sport
We’re honored to be chosen to support you on your athletic journey. Here’s a guide to help you get the most out of your HMB Sport.
Before we start, here’s a video on HMB Sport, what’s in it and what it does
How to Take It to Ensure the Best Results:
Three capsules, twice a day, every day.
Take three capsules in the morning, and three in the evening. Before brushing your teeth is a good place to start.
Ideally avoid taking HMB on an empty stomach.
Here’s What to Expect in the First Few Weeks:
2-4 weeks
- You’ll notice less muscle soreness and a feeling that you aren’t as “beat up” by high-volume or high-intensity training. This is because the extra HMB in the muscles protect them from damage.
- You’ll be able to train harder the next day as you need less recovery and repair time.
4-5 weeks
- Your body will be able to handle a higher intensity or higher volume of training without the consequences, so you can train harder.
- If you’re inactive through injury you’ll notice you haven’t lost as much muscle mass or strength. Your rehab process should be quicker as a result.
6+ weeks
- Requiring less recovery time, your training quality will be higher. This will now start to be visible in your results.
- Athletes training for strength and power will experience slightly faster performance progression.
- Endurance athletes will experience faster times and have improved VO2 max/peak scores.
- Overall, having higher muscle HMB will make your training more efficient so you’ll have a steeper progression rate in your sport, regardless of your sport.
- Older athletes may also notice they retain more muscle as they age - however, this is only really noticeable after taking HMB for a much longer duration (over years). Did you know it’s sometimes used to treat muscle-wasting conditions?
NOTE: HMB is thought to be more effective in athletes training at a high intensity where you’re more likely to experience muscle damage and soreness. Our experience is that it’s not that simple and most athletes will in fact notice.
Four Things to Consider When Taking HMB Sport:
Do not miss a dose
HMB is cleared from your system quickly.
If you do, double up on the next dose
You will be able to train harder
Don't be shy to push it!
Don't forget the basics
Supplementation will never replace good diet, programming and sleep.

Hydra+
Hydra+ is a novel hydration product developed to help you stay between 0-2% dehydrated, which science shows is optimal for performance.
Hydra+ contains carbs and electrolytes from real food sources like coconut water, fruit juices and a pinch of sea salt (and it tastes just like it sounds). It contains less sodium than other sports drinks as science shows that blood sodium levels go up, not down when you dehydrate.
Hydra+ is versatile:
1. Adding it to 8oz water will provide electrolytes and carbs for higher-intensity short training sessions.
2. Adding it to 16oz water will promote fluid intake for longer sweaty sessions.
Beta-Alanine
Taking Blonyx Beta Alanine daily will improve your muscle’s ability to buffer lactic acid. This means you’ll be able to train for longer and at a higher intensity before you fatigue.
Beta-alanine has been shown to improve performance in short distance running and rowing, and in people doing high intensity interval training or sports that require regular sprints.
Yet, this study, the first of its kind, found that it also benefits endurance athletes on longer distances - research shows Beta-Alanine increases a 10k run time.
