When you want to lose weight you must burn fat.  The body uses carbohydrates, fat, and protein for energy sources.  The body during intensive exercise and during sleep may use protein as an energy source.

Thus protein from your own tissues is broken-down to supply energy for the body.  This is called catabolism- the metabolic breakdown of large molecules in living organisms to smaller ones, with the release of energy.

Catabolism is a necessary process of life, however the loss of protein tissue for energy needs should be minimized if possible.  Protein tissues are vital for structure and form in the body and should be preserved.  Primary amino acids that are broken-down from protein tissues and are used for energy by the body are isoleucine, valine, and leucine, called the BCAA amino acids.

During sleep and intensive exercise the BCAA are catabolized into energy sources.  You can supplement the BCAA at bedtime and 1-3 hours after intensive exercise to provide an outside source of protein, rather than your own tissues.  Supplementing the BCAA at bedtime and after intensive exercise is a method to possibly support the body’s ability to minimize protein breakdown.  An added benefit, the body needs to burn fat to provide energy to convert the BCAA into the chemical energy of the body called ATP.  Thus supplementing the BCAA at bedtime or after intensive exercise can help burn fat as well as spare protein tissue.

HMB is a high quality BCAA supplement.  We handle HMB on the product page of this web site.  Good luck.

Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
