HMB slows the natural muscle wasting that occurs during downtime due to injury and inactivity, helping preserve your strength and making it easier to get back to training as usual once you're recovered.

When you take HMB consistently, you may notice:

• Less strength decline from periods of reduced training
• Faster rebound in power and performance once you’re back to training regularly
• Less muscle fatigue as you reintroduce higher training loads again

What the science shows:

HMB actively inhibits the pathway responsible for triggering muscle protein breakdown, significantly reducing muscle loss (atrophy) caused by periods of inactivity due to injury. It also increases the rate of new protein production by activating the mTOR pathway, responsible for cell growth, proliferation, and protein synthesis, Both of these mechanisms support the integrity of your muscles.

Blonyx HMB Sport is an ideal supplement for recovering athletes, with a pure 3g per day dose of HMB that will help preserve your muscles during time off from training with consistent use.

Protein is essential for preserving lean muscle mass and supporting repair during injury recovery when training is reduced or paused. It provides the building blocks your body needs to rebuild damaged muscle tissue, slow strength loss, and prepare you for a smooth return to training. There are many types of protein you can take, with common ones like whey, casein, plant-based, and egg whites all serving different purposes based on your diet and preferences.

Read about the differences between common protein sources.

What the science shows:

While athletes require more protein than the average person, these requirements can change during periods of inactivity due to injury. You need 1–1.5g/kg of body weight just to maintain muscle mass you already have, and at least 2g/kg of body weight as you reintroduce and increase training intensity. Egg whites are the ideal protein source for recovering athlete, offering a complete amino acid profile with optimal ratios for protein synthesis. Research shows they have greater bioavailability, digestibility, and lower allergenicity than most other common protein sources.

See why more athletes are switching to egg white protein from whey, casein, and plant-based proteins.

Because of the ease with which your body can utilize their protein, especially during injury recovery, we used egg whites as the base for Blonyx Egg White Protein Isolate.

Creatine can be a valuable tool for athletes recovering from injury because it helps preserve muscle and strength during periods of reduced activity and can even reduce the severity or likelihood of certain injuries in the first place.

When you take creatine monohydrate consistently, you may notice:

• More power and stability in the muscles you can train during recovery, helping limit strength imbalances
• Easier completion of rehab exercises due to improved short-burst energy availability
• Less fatigue in both injured and uninjured muscle groups, keeping overall conditioning higher during downtime
  

What the science shows:

Creatine works by increasing intramuscular phosphocreatine stores, which your body uses to rapidly regenerate ATP (muscle energy). Even during injury rehab, this means your muscles have more readily available energy.

Creatine can also help you get ahead of muscle and strength loss from injuries, having been associated with lower incidence of muscle strains, pulls, cramps, and total injuries compared to non-users

We often recommend pairing creatine with HMB for a compounding effect on strength and recovery. That's why we created Blonyx HMB+ Creatine with 5g of creatine and 3g of HMB per day.

Tart cherry juice helps injured athletes control inflammation, reduce soreness, and protect muscle strength during recovery, making it easier to get back to training with less lingering pain or stiffness.

When you take tart cherry juice consistently, you may notice:

• Reduced swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in injured muscles or joints
• Better ability to maintain strength throughout your recovery
• Easier rehabilitation sessions with less post-training soreness and fatigue

What the science shows:

Tart cherry juice is loaded with anthocyanins and antioxidants that reduce muscle damage and inflammation caused by training injuries and strains. Research shows it will reduce soreness and aid recovery from training when taken consistently, and this translates to some muscle injuries as well.
