Hmb does not make a visual difference and is bunk. It increases performance a little at best
Not enough for the cost.

Thomas, I just found your channel in my research to help osteoarthritis. I'm a retired firefighter, and throughout my career, I had to stay in shape. Now that i am in my 60s, I'm finding it much harder to do what always came easy for me. This video and the one you most recently did on peptides is really encouraging. Thank you. I'm now a subscriber.
Where's the guy who watches the video then lists the 7 supplements in the comments so i dont have to watch the video gone????
Paid vacation day
😂
A month late 😅
Right above your comment 🙂
3 above you😂
Your videos are so helpful 😊 I have improved my workouts so much...Thanks so much....
Very informative! Thanks!
Increased Taurine in muscles after workout is more likely due to it's role in protein synthesis.
The antioxidant effect can be explained by reduction of misfolded proteins, resulting in less overall waste products to be oxidised and a cleaner overall recovery and growth.
You need magnesium to process Vitamin D. Magnesium is a huge supplement for this, for sleep and 600 other processes in the body.
My wife and I do transdermal Mg oil after workouts, and Magnesium L-threonate at bedtime.
You need k2 to process vitamin D it helps distribute the calcium to your bones and not to your arteries.
Great content brotha. Love the emphasis on vitamin D.It's basically a prohormone that converts to a steroid hormone( 125-dihydroxy vitamin D) of course is excellent for muscle protein synthesis and muscle building in general. Thank you for the knowledge. 👍🏽
What about using taurine the day after a very hard workout for recovery
I got a question ❓ Ive been weight lifting a very long time and I don't ever get that burn feeling like when I first started . I get pumped to were I can't do any more reps but I never get that burn feeling any more, it's been gone for years . For example doing bicep concentration curls I get pumped to were I can't do any more reps but never a burn . Is that okay ? Or am I lacking something.
Creatine has other benefits besides just for muscle growth, it also supports with brain function which helps with focus and concentration. So I personally wouldn't take less than 5g of creatine, 10g if you are of a bigger build. I have also added glycerol to my pre workout for pumps, I have tried multiple pre workouts and stacks and the addition of glycerol with my pre workout has definitely improved my workout and my mood afterwards. My mood might be from dropping my caffeine from 500mg to 250mg though. 😅
I also take Rhodiola Rosea which is supposed to increase your energy levels and make you feel less depleted after working out, but you might want to cycle on and off if you use this so that your body doesn't get used to it.
Good comment. Rhodiola Rosea can also suppress cortisol to elevate your testosterone.👍🏽
Agreed that protein from a natural source, beef is the way nature intended however as we know with age our digestive system slows down which means beef and other meats put us in that sluggish state of heavy digestion coupled with the fact that I’m not perpetually in the mood for as much protein as I was in the past so consuming protein in liquid form is an attractive alternative. Again when I was younger it wasn’t a factor but when you get older you’ll realize the benefits of not perpetually taxing your digestive tract which is why in my opinion supplementing becomes a viable option. At 61 I feel like I did in my 30’s both physically and cognitively but admittedly after a large protein based meal it takes me a considerable amount of time to get back to how I feel in a fasted state.
What's a considerable amount of time? Are we talking hours or days?
what about boron?
Thanks Thomas. So you have recommended EAA's, but in doing so you basically zero in on one major component of EAA's, Leucine, as Leucine availability increases with intake of EAA's as (you said) well as just increasing your whey protein intake. Therefore, why wouldn't you have isolated just a straight Leucine supplement instead of the (Leucine diluted) effect of an EAA supplement? Thanks.
Cause taking just leucine in isolation inhibits the uptake of other essential amino acids that share the same pathway. You need to ideally get them all in their proper ratio
Dive into muscle-boosting realms with HMB! 🚀 But, here's the golden rule: supps are sidekicks, not superheroes. Amp up with creatine, protein, and beta-alanine. It's a harmony, not a swap. Catch the vibes: ua-cam.com/video/1nonDxjIMPM/v-deo.html
Yeahb HMB is the robin to batman
Nah, he’s just using. ChatGPT to write nonsense so he can seek his crap. The shitty copy is a dead giveaway
Yes you still need to eat good food. He didn't get a body like that by eating hmb suppliment while on the couch eating Cheetos.
@@user-pf5xq3lq8i I would argue he didn't just use good food.
Never heard that you should cycle beta-alanine great info thank you
Heard EAAs affect insulin resistance negatively
Is creatine measured by volume or by weight? Serving size is 1 scoop. Lable claims that's 5 grams. However, when I weigh a level 1 scoop it's 2.4 grams.
It can weigh 2.4 grams but still contain 5 grams of creatine.
I DO NOT MEAN TO CRITIQUE YOU.NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT IT MAKES NO SENSE. I HOPE IT IS JUST A MISTAKE. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER MEANS 2 OR MAYBE MORE SCOOPS AS A SERVING SIZE WILL GIVE YOU 5 GRAMS OF CREATINE NOT 1 SCOOP OF A LESS WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCT. IT IS THE OPPOSITE MATH. IT IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE. I TEACH MATH! @@lionheart9692
WEIGHT! SIMPLE PUT: THE SCOOP HAS A CERTAIN CAPACITY FOR WEIGHT AND VOLUME OF THE PRODUCT. THE SERVING SIZE COULD BE 2 OR MORE OF THAT SCOOP TO MEET THE MEASUREMENT OF THE CREATINE AS A RECOMMENDED DOSE.
How in the world are you supposed to find cod liver oil with that much vitamin D. Most I see are only around 270 IU
So basically buy all these things and eat good 😆 in all seriousness though, are any of these better for taking post workout or should i take them all before?
I used HMB in the early 2000's. It's great for people who do a lot of aerobic training. Helps them retain muscle mass.. it is a great supplement.
So creatine HCI is bad?

@@twrecksemtwrecksem1020 research, experimentation, results, it's not for everyone but I'm giving it a try to see how it does for me.
I use taurine for regular heart rhythm. It's been good to back off my pharmaceutical which has more sise effects than benefits. I also don't have to pay a doctor for a permission slip!
thanks for sharing.
I tried taking 10g of creatine then 20g then 40g... nothing happened... because it can help those who eat little protein, I saturated everything with 2.5lb of meat a day being on a carnivore diet. .
Just ordered hmb today hope it works😮
Have you noticed any difference in your physique since you’ve started taking HMB?
@@malique47 alittle
How'd it go?
It a scam
@simontaylor9362 been taken for about 4 weeks has done absolutely nothing think it's a scam
7:00 you say throw the bcaas away then promote sunwarrior with bcaas, I'm confused
You’re learning. Every third video contradicts itself. He’s not reading all these studies himself, this is a business, it’s a team of people reading multiple studies and giving him notes for ‘daily content.’
Lmao!

Pay someone enough and you can get them to say anything!
It’s an advertisement for the plant based protein.
Indigo is awesome from biotest
Can you take taurine during a fast
Drink a large glass of milk,body doesn’t store it but fills you up without burning muscle.
Thanks for the insight
I think people forget that supplements are just that "Supplements " for food intake...
If you dont or cant get enough of X nutrients from food for whatever reason, you use a supplement for that lack of....not just try and build with supplements
have you heard of Kachava Tribal Superfood? Its a organic plant based proteins powered mix. Can it be used when
I switch from Whey proteins
Plant proteins are not equal to meat proteins. They are not 1:1 in value. It's not as high of a quality. So 30g of high quality protein (beef, chicken) vs 30g of plant protein is damn near half value for your body. Meaning you'll need about 40%-50% more to get the same actual intake as using higher quality proteins.

Why supplements be like:
Creatine $15
HMB $15
Creatine plus HMB $69.00
What if your type 1 diabetic
how do the measure strength in rats? do they put them on a little rat bench and make them do presses?

@@bartwilloughby2909Is that impressive when you weigh in at 2 milligrams? They are way less affected by gravity
As a matter of fact...
Doesn’t HMB have a lot of calcium in it, is that good to be circulating around in your blood in high amount. I’ve heard that this contributes to hardening of the arteries and heart attacks
Thanks for this post. He always talks of supplements but not its side effects. Dr Oz did that for years.
Nah. If you're taking magnesium supplements (which you should), then it keeps the balance of Calcium to Magnesium.
Vitamin K2 takes calcium out of your arteries and puts it into your bones!
You could probably find a HMB that is a different salt than calcium like I was able to find Methyfolate that was a glucosamine salt rather than calcium.
Take vitamin k2
5:10
this guy makes sooooo much money, every video is also a massive commercial lol well played sir well played
All is take is creatine, D3, K2, magnesium, zinc, and citruline
TMG?
What is the best time to take HMB?
Pre workout.
After waking up. Before bed.
Second best times: Before and after workout. And always on empty stomach
What about tribulus and dhea
Tribulus can boost only bound testosterone as I saw in researches. Does nothing with free test.
Tribulus does nothing dhea will raise estrogen
Come up to Central New York and I'll show you why our Vitamin D levels are low. I take nootropics 5000iu every other day, with half a tablet the other days. Brought my levels to around 60 from 30. Not ideal but an improvement.
Take 5k everyday, include K2
Good shit as always Thomas 😊
How effective is HMB though?. I'm on TRT and would love to find something to stack with it to get better results.
Read my comment.....
@@legotech7 bro there's over 500 comments. I'm not scrolling for days lol. Can you copy and paste it?. I'm interested to see what you said.
3:16 Never try to rush things [ ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxT1bhUEidupyWZ7Snmu6W9wm-v1IqIMGL ] could be the outcome
@@edmaleandhealthchannel889 is this supposed to be a video?. It's only a short article about some legal roids.
What about ornithine alpha ketoglutarate
This guy is spot on.. every thing he is talking about during this video is prime golden info.
Works but don’t eat or drink trash, dont eat at restaurants unless u know whats innit or how they prepare it
I feel like the energy drink companies knew about taurine a while ago
It’s added to energy drinks to allow the cardiovascular system to help cope with the large amount of caffeine.
that was really good video thank you for your information
We don't demonise insulin. We should just get by consuming enough animal based protein and not exogenous carbs. The Chems being pumped in the air might have something to do with low D
Or it could be no one goes outside anymore. I keep seeing this about chem trails. Cars also leave these in the winter they are just dispersed quickly by traffic. Did they put something in the gas also?
Great video however, a suggestion would to talk about when are these supplements should be taken
Each day.
Most have directions
All you need is red meat.
Thomas...love your stuff but holy geez I get lost after 2 minutes of watching your videos. You should totally make a side channel called Thomas D Cliff Notes or something. Like a 3 minute recap. I don't need to hear the full science breakdown of these things. My attention span is horrible and I'm sure most people the same...that's why I'm watching UA-cam and not Netflix.
Can you take about PHOSPHOTIDIC ACID pls…..
Key Takeaways
00:40 ️ *Creatine, in doses as low as 1-3 grams of simple creatine monohydrate, can saturate muscles, aiding in energy, strength, and potentially reducing muscle breakdown, supported by recent studies.*
02:30 *Vitamin D supplementation shows promise in muscle preservation, aiding insulin sensitivity and influencing muscle retention, supported by studies on dialysis patients and research involving rats and humans.*
05:16 *Essential amino acids (EAAs) significantly increase muscle protein synthesis both acutely and over time, potentially enhancing overall muscle protein synthesis baseline, aiding muscle growth and strength.*
08:15 *Nitric oxide supplements potentially enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, impacting muscle mass and mitochondrial biogenesis, crucial for muscle function.*
10:23 *Taurine, produced during muscle stress, acts as an antioxidant aiding recovery and potentially influencing glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity for muscle anabolism.*
13:08 ️ *HMB (Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) may benefit untrained individuals more by limiting muscle breakdown, contributing to increased strength, hypertrophy, and recovery.*
14:33 *Beta-alanine, raising carnosine levels, may help buffer acidity during intense workouts, aiding in muscle endurance and hypertrophy, yet cycling its use is recommended to avoid adaptation interference.*
Men listen. When your ladies give you these tests, this is how we should respond. If you don't think it is important enough to use your words to get what you need, then it's not important enough to find the words to argue about it.
You should make an updated pre workout video
Taurine before sleep...the best
Watching in 1.5x speed thank ME later
Which whey products do you most like?
I’ve read that Taurine and beta alanine cancel one another out if taken simultaneously, so take separately
Creatine Monohydrate vs hydrochloride
Just get the cheapest one, usually monohydrate
Hcl tastes like ship
thomas do you think that fluoride they put in city water can bring vitamin d in our body down?
Maybe but it’s probably just gonna lower your testosterone and mess up your brain
It'll give you a small pen nis😦
i use fluoride filters for drinking water and supplement iodine :< hopefully it helps.
my city constantly votes against removing fluoride.
@@Lucas_Jeffrey yah i agree
@@senorpepper3405 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I take AAKG , NAC and Taurine . Not sure which one does it , but I don’t get sore . Even during heavy 3 rep max leg days
It's NAC
Definitely NAC
that *might* not be a good thing, thomas has another video about antioxidants post workout
I take my NAC ~12 hours later than my workout. I consciously avoid taking it right afterwards
Plant base protein makes me feel ill. Such a bummer
Me too I feel like my stomach may explode !!!
Creatine Monohydrate
A good Multivitamin daily
2-3g Omega-3 Fish Oil daily
Black Coffee (Pre-Workout)
A good Diet, Training regimen and Sleep
Forget the rest … 🙄🤞🏼
Are multivitamins still recommended? I take the vitamins that I'm deficient in and I stay away from the multivitamins with vitamin a and e along with unnecessary minerals.
I get most of my vitamins from beef liver and wild caught salmon and eggs who needs a multivitamin🤔
Thanks guy who withholds information based on their opinion 😂😂😂 I take HMB and it helps those that don't get a lot of calories intake/protein in. I've seen a difference on taking it and Beta-Alanine helps promote strength for kicking in that extra rep or two so next time just time if you're going to be that clicksaver dude, at least type the rest without being a Karen.
Wrong again.
@@herculesrockefeller8969who is wrong?
Sounds great for omad and frequent exercisers
I agree when I was younger I didn’t need to supplement however as you mentioned for those practicing OMAD while frequently exercising or those that are reaching an age where they do not desire consuming as much meat as in their youth because of the sluggishness of a slower digestive system the liquid option becomes a convenient alternative.
Meat isn't the problem with digestion look at colostomy bag patients it's the other stuff
It's so efficiently utilized by the body doesn't produce much stool
I took HMB and Ashwaganda both for over a year and they Did absolutely nothing for me.
What whey protein shake do you recommend? I can't do plant proteins
You're going to have to kinda try brands around. I go with Dynmatize Protein because of the added BCAA's. Just remember to get that extra benefits, take protein depending on your daily grams, in the morning and 2 hours after your workout.
Goat whey
just look at ingredients label, if its short and simple its all gonna do the job
thomas has videos going through walmart and such. example of bad: muscle milk, tons of additives
anything that has like 2-3 ingredients (whey protein isolate + sucralose is common) is gonna be fine
Thorne whey is great. No nonsense
@@damiansaucedo9951I also use Dymitaze protein, good quality protein
taurine increases my already prety high adrenaline responses, like stressfull situations seem even more stressfull and my body explodes with adrenaline which later results in mad fatigue. Allso causes nausea and one or two times stomach pain, which has resulted in me vomiting multiple times, one from pure taurine, other time from preworkout which had it, i now don't ever use it anymore.
That’s weird . Taurine will relax your nerves like magnesium and combat too much hypertenseness from things like glutamate .
Weird that it fatigued you with too much adrenaline
@@heythere6983 Yeah, I 2nd that. Placebo? Taurine's function is just de-stress and protect post exertion. Sounds like something else is getting consumed.
taurine+caffeine makes me hella squirrely too
@@heythere6983could be a paradoxical reaction due to genetics?
Crazy. Taurine makes me feel like shit too! Just makes me have lower mood, intolerant to stress, by itself or with caffeine does this. Try some beta alanine!
I had more arm in a full length cast when I tore my tricep off the bone. I normally take 3g of HMB per day, and decided to double it during the 8 weeks with the cast on. When it came off, the doctor was amazed at how little my are atrophied, and I told him about the HMB. He didn't know what it was, but after looking it up, he told me he's recommending it now to people that have to wear a cast for awhile.
im wearing cast on my fist, so hmb helped you to heal bone faster?
@@MM-rl7co I don't know about healing the bone faster, it helps to preserve muscle for sure
Amazing! Just bought 2 bottles
So you think if some genius made a whey protein with all this scientific stuff in it he'd make millions cause I just wanta one scoop all this everyday before my workout cause I know I'm gonna forget half this everyday I barely remember to take my multi vitamin lol
Great and informative video 👍🏻
Remember Thomas...if it's not animal source...it's incomplete

@@regina6838 I've been using C4 for quite a while because I love the tingle and flushing of the beta alanine and niacin, without too horribly much caffeine. in the past the old Jack3d preban formula was great. really anything with at least 140mg caffeine and good amount of beta alanine, niacin, vitamin B12 and no2 precursors like arginine is pretty good.
always get the powder it's a waste of money to buy premade unless you're in a pinch. I keep a bottle of it in my workout bag.
