This is a product for those who already know what training entails. GEN HMB Ultra Caps contain Calcium Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate, the calcium salt of HMB. HMB is a substance your body produces itself from leucine, one of the branched-chain amino acids. But this self-production is limited: only a small part of the leucine from your diet is converted into HMB. This supplement provides it directly, without this detour. A jar contains 365 capsules, enough for over three months.
You probably know leucine as one of the most important amino acids for training. What many don't know: HMB, full name beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, is the metabolite your body makes from leucine. You convert about 5% of all leucine into HMB. With an average protein intake, you might get 300 to 500 milligrams per day. That's significantly less than the 3 grams used in studies. And that's precisely where Calcium-HMB supplementation comes in. Per daily dose of four capsules, you take 3600 mg of calcium-HMB, including 3024 mg of pure HMB. This puts you close to the dosage used in most studies. To get those same 3 grams from food, you would have to eat an unrealistic amount of protein, and even then, the conversion to HMB would remain limited. That's why athletes who want to reach the studied dosage usually opt for a supplement rather than just more protein.
HMB acts on two sides of the same balance. On one hand, it plays a role in muscle protein synthesis, via a signaling pathway called mTOR, a kind of switch that determines whether your body will build new proteins. On the other hand, it curbs the breakdown of existing muscle proteins, which goes through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, a cleaning mechanism in your cells. The net effect is that your protein balance tips towards building. This is especially interesting in phases where breakdown is higher than normal. Think of a caloric deficit period, high training frequency, or a new training stimulus your body isn't yet used to. The calcium part of the bond primarily serves as support here: it makes HMB stable in capsule form.
Since Calcium-HMB inherently contains calcium, each daily dose also provides 520 mg of elemental calcium. This represents 65% of the daily reference intake, a significant amount. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and normal energy metabolism. In addition, calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal neurotransmission. It's not a calcium supplement in the traditional sense, but it's good to know that with four capsules a day you're taking in a considerable portion of calcium. Keep this in mind if you're already taking other calcium-rich supplements or a lot of dairy products in your routine, so your total intake doesn't become unnecessarily high. For most athletes, this extra calcium is not a problem, but it's something to consider if you're already taking a calcium supplement elsewhere.
Four capsules, that seems like a lot, and it is compared to a one-capsule-a-day product. But the math is simple: you need 3600 mg of calcium-HMB to approach the studied dosage, and each capsule contains 900 mg. One or two capsules a day won't reach those 3 grams of HMB. You can take all four at once or spread them throughout the day, for example around your workout. Many athletes use HMB in addition to their existing routine with protein and creatine, as the mechanisms don't interfere with each other. The jar contains 365 capsules, which, at four per day, lasts for over three months, just enough to sustain a complete training block without having to reorder in the meantime.
In short, it provides a direct and stable source of HMB: 3024 mg of pure HMB daily from the well-studied calcium form, supplemented with 520 mg of calcium. A short ingredient list, a generous jar, and a dosage that matches what is typical in studies. For the advanced athlete who wants to adjust their protein balance during intense phases, it's a clear choice. Store the jar in a dry and cool place, and be aware of safety information if you are taking medication.
With four capsules a day, you get 3024 mg of HMB, the dosage used in most clinical studies. From food, your body only produces 300 to 500 mg of HMB per day. This product provides it directly, without the detour via leucine.
Free-form HMB is chemically unstable. That is why it is supplied here in the form of a calcium salt, the form with which most long-term research has been conducted. Each daily dose also provides 520 mg of calcium, which is 65% of the nutrient reference value.
The pot contains 365 capsules. At four capsules per day, this is 91 doses, which is more than three months. Just enough to last an entire training block without reordering in between.
The ingredient list is short: Calcium-HMB, gelatin for the capsule, and stearic acid as an anti-caking agent. No additional additives, no flavorings, no colorings. The product is laboratory tested.

HMB stands for Beta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate. It is a substance your body makes itself from leucine, a branched-chain amino acid you get through a protein-rich diet. The key point is that your body only converts about 5% of all leucine into HMB. With an average diet, this amounts to 300-500 mg per day, significantly less than the 3 grams used in studies. Supplementation provides HMB directly, without this conversion step.
Four capsules per day. Each capsule contains 900 mg of Calcium-HMB, of which 756 mg is pure HMB. With four capsules, you reach 3024 mg of HMB, which corresponds to the approximately 3 grams per day used in most clinical studies. One or two capsules per day are insufficient to reach this dosage.
Yes, this is definitely possible. HMB and creatine work via different mechanisms and do not interfere with each other. The same applies to protein shakes. HMB itself is a leucine metabolite, so it logically fits into a protein-rich diet. Many athletes use HMB precisely as a supplement to their existing routine with proteins and creatine.
It is indeed more than with a one-capsule-a-day product. But that's because each capsule contains 900 mg of Calcium-HMB, and you need 3600 mg to get close to the studied dosage. You can take all four capsules at once or spread them throughout the day. The jar contains 365 capsules, so you have about 91 days' supply, more than three months for a complete training block.
HMB acts on two processes simultaneously. It plays a role in muscle protein synthesis via a signaling pathway called mTOR, a kind of switch that determines whether your body will build new proteins. At the same time, it slows down the breakdown of existing muscle proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, a cleaning mechanism in your cells. The net effect is that your protein balance tips towards building. This difference is especially noticeable during periods of high training load, caloric deficit, or a new training stimulus.
Calcium-HMB is the calcium salt of HMB, and it is the most commonly used form in capsules and tablets. Free acid HMB (also called HMB-FA) is absorbed faster and reaches peak concentrations in the blood more quickly. Calcium-HMB is absorbed a little slower, but it is chemically more stable and therefore more suitable for capsule form. Both forms have been studied in research, and most long-term studies have been conducted with the calcium form.
