HMB (scientifically known as β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate) is naturally produced in our bodies when we consume the amino acid leucine. It simultaneously decreases muscle protein breakdown and increases muscle protein synthesis.

But it’s virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of HMB from diet alone.

Research shows only around 5% of dietary leucine converts into the muscle-building compound HMB.

That means you would have to consume 60 grams of leucine, or 600 grams of quality protein, to get the clinically supported 3-gram dosage of HMB per day.¹

Supplementing with myHMB^® has been clinically shown to:

• Increase muscle mass, improve strength, and reduce fat mass when combined with resistance training^{5, 6}

• Boost protein synthesis and reduce protein breakdown⁷

• Reduce muscle damage and soreness from exercise⁸

• Improve recovery by reducing damage associated with exercise (both resistance and endurance)⁹

• Improve endurance by increasing maximal oxygen consumption and increasing lactic acid tolerance^{10, 11}

• Improve the muscle-building effects of plant-based protein¹²

Protein Clinic contains the clinically supported 3 grams of myHMB^® per serving.

myHMB^® may be the most clinically supported muscle-building ingredient in the world for both effectiveness and safety—backed by 50+ studies and 40+ scientific reviews.

While myHMB^® is a powerful stand-alone muscle builder, you get a synergistic effect when you combine it with the other ingredients in Protein Clinic. It leaves basic proteins and amino acid drinks in the dust.

Watch the video below to learn exactly how myHMB^®  naturally increases muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle protein breakdown:

CherryPURE® is the only patented natural tart cherry ingredient made from USA-sourced Montmorency cherries. These unique cherries have multiple human studies proving benefits for muscle recovery and soreness, healthy inflammatory responses to exercise, joint mobility, and even sleep quality.

A recent study out of Texas A&M’s Kinesiology Lab found CherryPURE® improves recovery outcomes within just ten days of usage.¹⁵ In the study, people who took CherryPURE® before performing squats felt less muscle soreness afterward. They also showed fewer signs of muscle breakdown and had greater strength levels than the placebo group.

Here are just some of the ways CherryPURE® supports total-body recovery and performance:

• Reduces Muscle Damage from Exercise. CherryPURE® is rich in anthocyanins. These powerful plant compounds help regulate inflammatory cytokines.¹⁶ When taken before resistance training or long-distance running, tart cherry helps reduce muscle damage and post-exercise muscle pain.¹⁷

  
  

• Supports Optimal Uric Acid Levels. When the body breaks down certain food compounds, it produces a waste product called uric acid. Excess uric acid can crystallize in joint structures, which limits mobility and causes discomfort during movement.¹⁸ Tart cherries support joint mobility and soreness by helping to reduce uric acid levels.

  
  

• Increases Antioxidant Levels. CherryPURE® is a rich source of antioxidants. These compounds help protect joints and muscles from free radical-induced damage that can cause soreness, inhibit adaptations to exercise, and delay recovery times.¹⁹

  
  

• Improves Sleep Quality. CherryPURE® is a good source of natural melatonin and other relaxing compounds, which are proven to help regulate sleep and bolster natural muscle recovery processes.²⁰

Protein Clinic™ contains the clinically supported dosage of 480 mg CherryPURE® per serving to support daily recovery.

BodyBalance^® is a targeted collagen peptide blend proven to help build lean muscle, increase connective tissue mass, and reduce fat mass when combined with resistance training.

Unlike generic collagen supplements with random peptide profiles, BodyBalance^® is engineered to stimulate cell synthesis within intramuscular connective tissue and skeletal muscle.

Building big, strong muscles on the scaffolding of weak connective tissue structures is a recipe for injury. With BodyBalance^®, you give your muscles and joints the nutrients they need to repair and grow stronger.

Supplementing with BodyBalance^® collagen provides several unique benefits:

• Increased lean body mass and reduced fat mass when combined with weight training (effective in both resistance-trained subjects and elderly subjects)²⁴

• Increased strength gains compared to placebo²⁵

• Increased connective tissue mass when combined with strength training²³

• Rich in the amino acids glycine and proline, which may help prevent muscle wasting

• Digests easily compared to dairy-based proteins, which can cause gastrointestinal distress²⁶

Protein Clinic contains 15 grams of BodyBalance^® Bioactive Collagen Peptides per serving.

Protein Clinic also contains a 17-gram blend of non-GMO pea protein isolate and rice protein isolate to support lean muscle mass (and a happy stomach).

Although whey is considered the gold standard of protein supplementation, pea protein yields similar strength and muscle adaptations when taken in conjunction with resistance training.²⁷

Pea protein does lack the amino acid methionine.²⁸  But You can easily remedy this by combining it with rice protein, which has a healthy dose of methionine.

Together, these two plant-based proteins provide optimal amounts of all nine essential amino acids.

Pea protein is high in the amino acid leucine. This helps explain its superior muscle-building power versus other plant proteins like hemp, soy, and chickpea.

What good are big, strong muscles if you have brittle joints and bones? Protein Clinic contains a unique vitamin and mineral blend designed to fortify your body as you build muscle, including:

• PureWay-C^® — a rapidly absorbed form of vitamin C that bolsters muscle and joint recovery

• Vitamin D3 — boosts the recovery benefits of myHMB^® and supports muscle, joint, and bone health

• MenaQ7^® (Vitamin K2) — supports bone health, cardiovascular health, and enhanced absorption of Vitamin D and Calcium.

• Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Iron — natural mineral blend to provide the building blocks of strong bones, joints, and muscles

The gut-friendly Prebiotic Fiber Blend in Protein Clinic™ includes VitaFiber™, coconut creamer, and a non-GMO gum fiber blend to help enhance digestion, optimize the absorption of protein and other nutrients, and reduce digestive discomfort.
