Blonyx HMB+ Creatine

Beta‐hydroxy beta‐methylbutyrate (HMB) is a well-studied compound that protects against muscle damage from training and reduces soreness. It’s derived from leucine, one of the three essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). BCAAs are vital for protein synthesis, muscle growth and muscle repair.

Supplementing with 3g of HMB daily slows muscle protein breakdown and increases new protein production, which shortens your recovery time and helps you increase the intensity and frequency of your training.

Calcium HMB (the kind used in HMB+ Creatine and HMB Sport) is also shown to be the most effective form of HMB since your body absorbs it more quickly and uses it more efficiently than other forms of the compound.

Creatine monohydrate is the most researched form of creatine and is proven to increase strength and power output. It’s a naturally occurring compound made by the body and found in foods like meat, fish and dairy used by the body to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides your cells with energy for muscle contractions.

Supplementing with 5g of creatine monohydrate daily increases your ATP production beyond levels achievable with diet alone and gives you more energy for powerful, explosive movements.

Take 1 scoop twice daily, in the morning and the evening, ideally with or after food. Mix each scoop with approximately 8oz (1 cup) of any liquid.

Check out our HMB+ Creatine User Guide for more detailed usage instructions.

You’ll start to notice an increase in your strength and power within 1–2 weeks of taking HMB+ Creatine daily. You may also appear slightly more muscular in this time.

After 3 weeks, you’ll notice you’re less sore after training and don’t need to recover for as long.

After 4+ weeks of consistent use, you’ll be stronger, faster and able to train more frequently at a higher intensity. 

You might notice the effects of taking HMB+ Creatine more quickly when you pair it with our other performance products like Beta Alanine.

Each serving of HMB+ Creatine contains:

• 1.5g Calcium HMB (beta‐hydroxy beta‐methylbutyrate)
• 2.5g Creatine Monohydrate (aminoiminomethyl-N-methylglycine monohydrate)

Taking creatine monohydrate on an empty stomach can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. That’s why we always recommend taking HMB+ Creatine with or after food.

Creatine monohydrate can lead to a small amount of weight gain since it binds to water in your muscles. If you absolutely want to avoid this, try our HMB Sport instead.

HMB and creatine help build muscle and strength when paired with resistance training, but they work in different ways. Creatine provides more energy for quick, intense activities like lifting weights, which makes training harder and building muscle easier. HMB, on the other hand, helps protect and preserve muscles, making it easier to recover from training sessions. When taken together, they complement each other, leading to greater gains in muscle size and strength than using either one alone.

When taken together, HMB and creatine show promising results in improving endurance performance in athletes. Over a 10-week study, elite rowers who supplemented with both HMB and creatine were able to produce more power at higher levels of exertion compared to those taking either supplement alone or not at all. The combination helps athletes push harder and perform better during high-intensity, prolonged activities, which translates to other endurance sports such as running, cycling and triathlon.

Creatine and HMB, when combined and used together with strength training, can accelerate muscle mass gains. Some studies have shown this combination to enhance strength and improve body composition by increasing muscle mass and reducing fat. Although results can vary, taking creatine and HMB together for a few weeks can help athletes see quicker improvements in their physical performance and muscle development compared to using each supplement individually.

HMB helps reduce recovery times by protecting against exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). By decreasing markers of muscle damage such as creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, HMB minimizes inflammation and oxidative stress in the muscles. This protection allows for faster recovery and less soreness after training, making it easier for athletes to maintain their training schedule without extended downtime.

Creatine supplementation is shown to improve brain function and memory, especially in older adults. The brain, which is highly demanding in terms of energy, benefits from increased creatine levels that support its metabolic needs. Studies show that when healthy individuals take creatine, especially those aged 66 to 76, they show significant improvements in memory tests compared to younger individuals and those on a placebo. This suggests that creatine can be a valuable supplement for enhancing cognitive function and memory by boosting the brain's energy capacity.
