Calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate is used as pharmaceutical intermediates, feed additives, etc.
1.High chemical stability
The calcium salt form is more stable than free HMB, not easy to absorb moisture or degrade, and has a longer shelf life, making it suitable for powder or capsules.
2.Dual biological activity
It provides HMB (leucine metabolite) and calcium ions at the same time, taking into account muscle metabolism regulation and bone health support.
3.Slow-release absorption
Calcium salts gradually dissociate in the intestines, and HMB is released more slowly, which may prolong the duration of action.
