Double Wood Supplements HMB Supplement, Third Party Tested, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, 120 Capsules, 1000mg per Serving, 500mg per Capsule

My wife and I both use HMB to help with recovery after workouts or long days in the yard/garden on our farm. Over the last two years, I have tried at least six different brands of this supplement with varying results, so I have a reasonable idea when a product is actually what it claims to be or is a cheap fake. I ordered a bottle of this Double Wood HMB when our supply of our "regular" brand was running low, and after using half the bottle, I can honestly say that this is a legitimate product. The results from using this were exactly the same as any other good HMB supplement - reduced muscle soreness the day after a heavy workout and the ability to go right back to lifting or working much faster than without using HMB. HMB isn't a miracle cure for fatigue or muscle soreness, but it definitely has a significant impact on reducing those effects and enhancing recovery. It will remain in our supplement arsenal at all times. Disclaimer - I accepted a highly discounted second bottle in return for a review, but I only did so because the first bottle worked like a good HMB supplement should. Had it not been effective, I would not have taken the offer.

I was looking for something to help my aging mother, and I found HMB. I decided to try it myself. It was almost 2 years ago. I was surprised to see the result so fast; I gained 1/3 of an inch in my upper arm muscles in one week. (At that time I was 63). I usually don't write reviews, but I'm writing this positive review after reading negative comments on Calcium form of HMB. (This product is CA form). There are two kinds of HMB - The calcium salt (CA) and free acid form (FA). Recently FA form of HMB is touted to have more bioavailability, but be aware, not enough human studies have been done to justify this. CA form of HMB has a long history and many many studies have done to prove the efficacy of it for both athletes and elderly. AND HMB (CA) has many more positive and impressive customer reviews. After stopping HMB, I've kept losing my muscles even after increasing my exercise, so I will start it again. I am interested in trying the powder form, so I may not start this brand at this point, but may come back to it later. Since I had a good experience, I thought I should write my positive review. Thanks for developing a fine product!

Great value. I like this brand better than the other HMB supplement brands.

I have been using this product for two months. I have done research on HMB and started using this product for the studies that showed it prevented muscle loss. I am a physique competitor and was interested in using this product initially for the period of time when I'm "cutting" (leaning down before a contest by dropping body fat %) before a contest. The benefit of using this product at this phase is to drop body fat while NOT losing muscle mass which is VERY difficult if not impossible. I am not in competition phase right now but I am using the product to see what results transpire. I am now in what is called a bulking phase which means My caloric intake is high to gain size and mass. For all competitive men and women in bodybuilding or physique competitions, you know your abs virtually disappear during bulking phase. I am delighted to tell you that although I am in bulking phase right now, my abs have NOT disappeared and I am still gaining size and mass. Quite simply, the product works for me. I am quite pleased. Do your own research to see what HMB is reported to do and try THIS product. I went with this specific product from Double Wood Supplements because they do NOT add fillers and junk to this supplement. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I take this daily as a maintenance. Our bodies make this naturally. There is no danger or side-effects that I’ve encountered. Couple this with creatine and they make a great base for overall health and stamina.

I am sure this is a very good supplement, but the pills are way too big. I am having a hard time swallowing them.

Well, I'm never the first on on the band wagon when it comes to supplements or new drugs for my patients. I typically let others and their patients be the ginney pigs. I limit my own supplements due to my age and time in my sport. Found myself in my 50s with two new babies and feeling gravity. In my mind still indestructible at 245, strong as a bull, thought I'd easily just cut back on the diet and up the aerobics. All started well, but the weight took with it more of the strength than I wanted but I had no choic, I had longer recovery times though I know a thing or two bout nutrishion. I have a buddy who was an Olympic coach and a sport science guy, did all the pre and post whey with glutamine, overall I did pretty good down to about 210 and 4 years later. I have this weight lifting mental condition you know, most of us daily guys that have lifted over 40 years know this. I feel like a weak s*** if I can't at least rep 315 for 2-3 and leg press a grand. So I had seen this supplement for a few years HMB, and not done my due diligence, nor did I relate it to my situation until I had a drug rep lunch in my office. Seems that the medical research had shown people on chemo that have muscle wasting retained more muscle when this supplement was added. Remember my mental condition, I thought I am starving myself to lean out but want to in that low calorie senecio retain more muscle, this motivated me to do my due diligence and read up on HMB, thought well it can't hurt, any way I am about 3 weeks in I have only lost down to 202 but feel like I have gained a little strength back. I have also shared my thoughts with two other old guys that are in the same boat of losing weight and trying to retain as much muscle and strength as possible. Overall it has good science behind it, still need to feed the muscle and stimulate it to adapt. Sincerely Rocko

So far so good! Started taking this product as I started my last vacation Diego plan (a basic plan, that I've done many times before). Definite improvements in losing weight and maintaining muscle mass.

I do intermittent fasting and sometimes I under eat..on those calorically restricted days this helps me prevent my muscles from breaking down..and I notice it helps me get through workouts with some more ease.

As a senior who is aiming to stay healthy I realize the importance of muscle mass. I like this product for two reasons: 1) HMB, Hydroxy Methyl Butyric acid, is anti-catabolic meaning it is an important nutrient to prevent my hard earned muscle from being broken down, and 2) I find Double Wood HMB supports my recovery from all types of exercise I engage in with the aim to to grow new muscle!

The supplement was great quality, i.e. no ruptured or poorly assembled pill casings, no odours, etc. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to try HMB and see if it works for them.

Perfect for helping maintain muscle especially on rest days. I've noticed a big difference as I'm not as young as I used to be, a little extra oompf and not having to worry if you take a few days off is a nice bonus. Recovering from a ulnar nerve issue and this has been a big help.
