This infographic explores how adding HMB to convenient functional foods boosts the power of plant-based protein
The demand for on-the-go nutrition—such as plant-based protein bars, powders and other convenient functional foods—continues to rise. They’re ideal for vegan, vegetarian, active and older consumers. But studies show that plant protein alone often falls short of animal proteins when it comes to decreasing the breakdown and increasing the synthesis of muscle protein.
To solve this challenge, vitamin and dietary supplement leaders worldwide are turning to innovative products that incorporate HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate). The body produces HMB to help metabolize the essential amino acid leucine. Eating protein helps with this metabolism, but getting adequate amounts can be difficult—especially as we age.
In this infographic, you’ll find links to studies that show how HMB:
