HMB is becoming an increasingly popular supplement for the modern athlete. Assisting in muscle growth and the prevention of muscle breakdown it's easy to see why!
Very convenient to take in the capsules provided and a reasonable price also, the PhD HMB is a worthy supplement, especially for those who are dieting!
Beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of the amino acid Leucine and is synthesized in the human body. It plays a part in protein synthesis and was discovered by Dr. Steve Nissen in scientific studies to purportedly increase muscle mass and decrease muscle breakdown.
Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology and other peer reviewed publications has shown that HMB may have an effect on increasing muscle weight and strength. Three grams of HMB per day may help muscles combat protein breakdown, assist in muscle repair and support increased endurance. Also, well-controlled scientific studies have found increases in muscle mass and decreases in body fat.
Who needs to use Pharma HMB?
+ Athletes seeking lean muscle mass
+ All athletes looking for increased recovery time
+ Strength and endurance athletes looking to offset muscle damage.
+ People who may be injured and cannot workout, which will assist in keeping muscle mass.

“ Got this on the synergy + HMB deal. The HMB hasn't made a huge difference, but I have slightly fuller, more toned muscles and have shed a little fat after one box. I'm sure taking it for a few more weeks/months will show a much bigger result. ”

Ask a Question
I am a big fan of the PHD range and like the look of these new products. I train every day and currently concentrating on CV to burn fat and gradually increasing the weights to build muscle.
I am currently stackin the reflex tri matrix with the PHD pharma whey and the lean degree, would I be better suited dropping the lean degree and using this product?
Hi Dan
No take with lean degree.
Kind regards
Danny

KInd regards
Danny
Am currently using a Lean Degree / Pharma Whey stack, after I finished a supply of that is it ok to step up to these? Would I see a benefit that I'm not curently? Thanks Rob
Hi Robert
I would recomend sticking with the pharma whey and try a months cycle on the hmb.
Kind regards
Danny

Kind regards
Danny

Hi Dave
Yes you can stack all them supplements.
Kind regards
Danny
Would it be good idea to take PHD HMB and Norateen 2 together?
Hi Dave
Yes you can stack the two. But I would go for the phd hmb and the phd methoxy-7-test.
Kind regards
Danny

Kind regards
Danny

Kind regards
Danny
Hi, can i take hmb capsules with amino acid capsules?
Yes this will work very well both products will help ensure that youy stay in an anabolic state and hkeep you away from catabolism, your performance and recovery will be incraesed with these. Thanks JB
Hi, I'm currently on progain extreme, but the effects are starting to slow, and my wallet is getting empty. Would it be a good idea to take this and an ordinary cheaper whey powder? Mike.
Hi i know that supplementation can be expensive, i would look at not a cheap protein but a larger size so you get more value for money, a 5lb tub of pharma whey for example is under £38 and gives 90 servings per tub, this is what iwould suggest. JB
Hi i need to lose weight will this help me lose weight and get stronger.
This will help with your strength and performance and allow you to preseve muscle mass whilst dieting, to speed weight loss up then use PhD Lean degree too. thanks JB
Would this be good to stackwith phd parma whey and methoxy-7-test and phd wired??
yes you should have some really good results with that stack.
best regards
Hi, is this advisable to use HMB on a cycle basis, one month on, one month off? What would you recommend? thank you.
Hi i would run HMB for 8 weeks, enjoy it it should definately aid you performance, thanks JB
Hi i was just wondering what is the quickest way to get a six pack? what excersises are the best? cheers
Hi stuart use a protein like phd pharma whey and a fat burner like lean degree, do resistannce training 4 times per week and throw some cardio work in afterwards and on non lifting days, keep proteins up and carbs moderate, you will soon have the abs on display
Can i take this if i am 16 and please what exactly does it help in muscle gains or recovery
Yes you can take this at 16- it will help with strength and recovery this is an ideal supplement to add to a stack if your goal is to gain muscle and strength.
I have been using PhD Pharma HMB for 8 weeks along with the PhD Synergy iso7 and I am enjoying the effects. Should I stick with these products for my next 8 weeks of training or should I go with an alternative stack? if so what do you recommend as alternatives for these products. Thanks
Hi Brad, i am pleased you are enjoying the stack, this is one of my favourites to be honest, i would continue usage until you hit a plateau then look at swithching or adding to the stack.
One of the reviews of this product says it made them really tired all of the time.is this generally true.need to know before ordering as tiredness is a big problem for me at the best of times
No chance, HMB has no effect on tiredness
How old should u be to take this, im 15, if im to young are there any alternatives
Hi lee Hmb is fine to use at 15 it will really help you out, i strongly advise using this
I am currently using Phd Battery as a pre and post workout drink, and Synergy 7 as a post weight training protien, both supplements are very good. However I want to increase muscle size. keen to use more phd supplements, should I add more creatine to the stack or HMB? I have never used hmb and am unsure of where or why i would use it too help?
Hi add the creatine and hmb that will be an awesome stack, HMB is known for its anti catabolic properties and it also helps promote strength output. Top stack
Would this be ok to take with a weight gainer? i dont want this to counter-act the weight gainer so i dont gain weight.
HMB will aid with growth not counteract it. -AC-
Hello mate just a quicky, BCAA or HMB?? Cheers Dan
both are anticatabolic but have completely different uses in the body. if i had to pick one supplement it would be BCAA's -AC-
My question is, do you really need to take the recommended 6 capsules a day? or is that abit overkill and 3 would be enough. I really don't fancy going through a bottle every 3ish weeks.
the recommended dosage is there to get best results. you can take 3 per day but the results will not be as good. -AC-
Hi i just braugth some of these just wondering can i open the capsules and drink in water as i have trouble swollening them whole thanks
yes that will be fine. -AC-
Hi,
Currently I am taking PhD Iso-7 before workout and PhD Recovery after my workout along with Lean Degree and taking a CLA supplement. Also using PhD Pharma blend 6 hr before bed.
Would it benefit me adding HmB product or am I taking to many supplements by adding this to things? Cheers
for what purpose would you like to add HMB? if you are trying to cut fat then the HMB will aid in retaining muscle mass. -AC-
Is it ok to take this hmb with millennium sports zmk?
yes that will be absolutely fine. -AC-
Hi i am going to start taking these pills with synergy, and i wanted to know how best to take them since i train twice a day, morning gym and evening football? thanks
Hi Andrew,
Split the dosage up, 2 tablets in the morning, and 2 mid afternoon.
Thanks
I have some of these left over from when I was bulking. Having just bought CLA, Lean Degree, & Pharma Whey to help with cutting, should I save the HMB for when I bulk again or will they help with the cut?
Hi Steve, HMB is an anti catabolic amino acid and will help preserve muscle while loosing fat, so I'd suggest taking it while cutting.
Abraham
Hey guys,looking into using hmb but do you guys think its worth taking im already using pharma blend,recovery 2:1 and synergy.thanks
Dear Josh,
Thank you for your question regarding PhD HMB
This product would be a useful product to help increase muscle mass and also helping to speed up protein synthesis. If your goals are to keep gaining mass, i would recommend this product to you. It would fit in nicely around your other supplements too.
Kind Regards
Dave
Hey am new to all this supplements stuff. Iv been taking protein and creatine. Now iv just ordered controlled labs blue up and this hmb product can I take them together? Or would u suggest cycling or dropping one. Thx.
Dear Ross,
You can take these products together.
Kind Regards
Dave
Hi, i am currently using PhD synergy along with another whey protein, using the PhD before workout and using up the whey protein before i go to bed. I am weight training 3-4 days a week, doing CV around twice inbetween. How would you suggest i integrate this product into my routine? Thanks
Dear James,
take 2 capusles pre workout, post workout and before bed.
Dave
I'm to start a stack of Synergy, Tauro Test and Cre O2. In the past I've taken Pharma Blend as an anti-catabolic. What are the benefits which justify the cost of taking either BCAA or HmB over Pharma Blend? I'm thinking of adding HmB to my stack - I like the benefits of increased strength and the possibility adding more cardio to my routine without sacrificing my gains.
What would you recommend the best addition to my stack is? Should I even consider something else? Cheers.
Hi Jon
Firstly do you mean pharma whey or phama blend? Pharma blend is a night time supplement its main ingredient is casein which is a longer releasing protein and usually releases over a 6 hr period. BCAAs are branch chain amino acids these are readily absorbed in the stomach and therefore make a great post workout supplement as they get straight to the muscles to repair them.that stack however seems great.
Yours in health
Mo Giaffar
Hi, I use Pharma Whey with a scoop of l-glutamine before and after the gym with PHD BCAA's, would it be safe and useful to add HMB to this?
Dear Nick,
Yes these would be safe to add into your supplementation. HMB would be useful and would aid protein synthesis.
Dave
Is this product safe to take with ZMA?
Hi Daniel
this product is absolutely fine to take with zma. thanks
Yours in health
Mo Giaffar

Yours in health
Mo Giaffar
Hi is this product ok to be used with usn muscle fuel anabolic and the testo caps cheers
Dear Danny,
Yes that is fine, it would work well for utilizing all protein and synthesizing it.
Dave
Currently taking phd pharma whey post workout and CLA during the day trying to shift some fat. Want to firm up, would there be any benefit in taking this or could you recommend another product?
Hi Dai,
Taking HMB well help you retain some muscle mass as you diet down and train hard. It would be a good addition to your diet if you are looking to preserve muscle whilst you lose fat.
Thanks,
Omar.
Hi monster I'm currently taking phd diet bars and shakes in between meals and when needed along with phd lean degree and cla alongside a high protein low carb diet for fat loss I currently train crossfit 5 times a week I've got about another stone and a half to drop would hmb be useful to add to my stack I'm not concerned with muscle size as I only train for athletic perfromance I just want to retain and possibly even build my strength and power
h danny. HMB will help to retain muscle whilst dropping fat. if you are trianing for strength then these 2 combined aspects should aid instrength building. Best regards -AC-
Hi Monster,
I have so far lost 7KG from my weight, using PHD synergy and Lean degree, however i have found i was losing my muscle mass so I have also added PHD methoxy and Vmax Pump to boost energy levels. Iam also now interested in adding the PHD Phama HMB would this be beneficial/good idea to add to the current stack to help me lose additional 3Kg of fat or in other words decrease my Fat % but assist my muscle to grow and retain muscle mass.
Thanks for all your help And support
Rav
Hi Ravi,
Yes the PhD Pharma HMB would assist in burning fat and building lean muscle. However I would always bare in mind when trying to lose weight that the simple equation is to take in less calories then you expend on a daily basis. The diet should be altered primarily then the supplements should then aid the effects of the diet.
MonsterSupplements
Hi.currently using synergy and pharma whey and v max.wanting to shift some bodyfat so thinking of adding methoxy7,cla and hmb.is this a good stack.thanks
Hi John,
The products are fine, but you also need to take into serious consideration your diet and make sure it is clean and in a calorie deficit.
Kind Regards
Liam
Are there any side effects with hmb, also can i take this product before i cycle early in the morning on an empty stomach
Dear Mike,
There are no side effects with HMB, however it is only really effective when taken around food. Taking on an empty stomach probably wouldnt do much for you.
Dave
Hi, im currently stacking USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic with both Methoxy 7 and BCAA. Would it be advisable to add the HMB on top of those or am i overcompensating? I am aiming at gaining lean muscle and losing the tummy at the same time. Thanks.
Hi James,
I think you've got enough there!
Regards
Would this be good to use with pharma whey and methoxy -7 as a stack to build lean muscle
Hi Jamie
Yes, that would be a good stack, the HMB will aid muscular recovery, the Pharma Whey will provide your bpdy with fast acting protein post work out to aid recovery and the methoxy will elevate natural test levels to promote strngth gains and protein synthesis
Kind Regards,
Josh
Hi,
Im currently taking Synergy IS07, i was wondering would Pharma HMB be a good stack with this? And whne would i take these with the Synergy?
My goals are to buinld lean muscle mass, but keep lean at the same time.
Would these acheive my goals? I eat really well and have a clean diet, with a pig out day once a week.
Thanks,
Matt
Dear Matt,
HMB is a very underated product in my opinion. It is great for helping to build lean muscle tissue and the Synergy doesnt have it in. I would look at taking the synergy twice daily, once 90 mins before a workout and then straight after. You could also look at getting a standard whey for the mid morning.
The products outlined will certainly aid a strong diet aimed at putting muscle mass on.
Dave
Can i take this with Pharma Whey HT?
Hi Thank you for your question, yes this product can be used alongside Pharma Whey. Thanks, Suzie
