Also, [USER=114]@dannybex , you mentioned that you now have a muscle wasting issue, and @Violeta , you were also asking on another thread about ways to stop muscle wasting - have either of you tried this?[/USER]
Suffice to say I had some HMB, tried it for a couple weeks, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Were you measuring levels in your blood, or was this a general feeling? How were you able to gauge whether it was working or not in the span of a few weeks?
Were you taking 3g/day? Were you spacing out the dosages throughout the day, or all at once?
Hi @Basilico , how is your progress on it?I make my own. I ordered the bulk powder and I stir in 3/4 of a teaspoon (which is 3 grams) into a full glass of water, and sip it throughout the day.
My HMB cocktail has some other stuff:
HMB
potassium citrate
magnesium citrate
inositol
vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)
1 teaspoon of sugar (to make it palatable)
I just added this other stuff because otherwise I would forget to take it regularly, it just helps me to have everything mixed together.
