topicBeta-Hydroxy-Beta-Methylbutyrate Muscle Recovery Meta-Analysis
claimIn conclusion, this study demonstrated that the intake for 4-weeks of arginine, glutamine and HMB effects a significant reduction in VAT and improves skin condition, while fat free mass (FFM) is maintained, thus achieving "high-quality" weight loss.
