Ensure adds HMB? HMB any good?

[mrcat]

Ensure adds HMB to there widely used and advertised nutrition drink. I'm curious if anyone has any good results with HMB? I used it years ago, nothing really good happened. I generally follow the if its legal its likely crap idea...

I never got anything out of it back years ago when I tried it. I remember back then it wasn't cheap.

That's a marketing stretch. Adding HMB to Ensure? What a joke. Reminds me when MetRx had HMB. 1.5 grams per dose. Actually, if you took a packet every couple hours you miiiight get some benefit from HMB.

Uh.. has any drank Ensure and got good results?

 

[ronnieron]

Yeah Bill Phillips and his HMB claim, "feels like deca", your are supposedly natty, Mr. Phillips, how would you know? Never got anything out of it either, and nobody is going to get anything from it from the dose they are putting in their ensure.

HMB ranks right up there with smilax officinalis.....

OK, I'll admit it was a stupid question. I was just surprised to see a mainstream product that seems to have overwhelming market share link itself to snake oil. The are running ads on TV with it....

Imagine all the geriatric folks thinking this is some new miracle ingredient that will make them strong and virile again.

Meanwhile we're all shaking our heads.

Hey, my grandma takes ONE fish oil cap from Costco a day and she swears she feels better from it. Even after I preached to her 'til I was blue in the face about the right way to take fish oil (not taking Costco brand is a start).

Oh, the power of placebo.

I will never forget the article where Bill Phillips made the comment about HMB
'feels like I'm on DECA"

Even if it is effective at all you must use large dosages which would be expensive. Ive been told 4-6 grams daily.

what a blast from the past

Bill Phillips scam

bcaa's are 10x as effective

 

[MR. BMJ]

LOL, "feels like deca," and creatine feels like dbol. Bill made a killing off that one line while killing half of his hardcore fans at the same time. I remember the boards in 96/97 when that went to press, and everybody and their mom was ragging on him at elitefitness, Anabolex, Meso and m.f.w....lol.

Then you had Poliquin stating it was the secret to all his1996 olympic trainees (or was that the bobsled team).

The funny part is....I was stubborn up to that point and actually stuck up for him on a few posts in 1997 at EF, and got reemed on big time by all the other vets, most of whom I was friends with. They gave me a lashing. Then, Dan Duchaine, wo posted there under various alias names, emailed me laughing and told me that HMB sucked and to not waste my money on it.

Here's a summary of what Layne Norton had to say about HMB....

Basically HMB will only help if you are having increased protein breakdown as in

-diseased state
-immobilization
-extreme diet
-new to training
-if you have recently drastically changed your workout then it may be useful as well.

The first thing I thought when I read the title of the thread was: Butt Plug must have something to do with that!
