Creatine HMB

Transparent Labs Creatine HMB is an evidence-based step forward for creatine supplementation, which is well-known to enhance muscle growth and athletic performance (e.g. muscle endurance and strength).

This formula harnesses the synergy of creatine monohydrate—the most studied form of creatine—and a naturally occurring metabolite known as beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), the latter of which helps reduce muscle damage and muscle protein breakdown. 

Creatine HMB is rounded out with BioPerine®, an absorption enhancer, and vitamin D3 for comprehensive muscle recovery and support of lean tissue mass.

Benefits

Whether you want to build muscle, lose weight, recover quicker, or improve athletic performance, Creatine HMB can help.

Build Muscle Mass
Reap the benefits of evidence-based ergogenic ingredients that promote muscle hypertrophy and support muscle size.

Improve Athletic Performance
Bolster anaerobic and aerobic performance to maximize strength and endurance gains during resistance and weight training.

Enhance Recovery
Accelerate muscle recovery to get back in the gym and stay on track with your fitness goals.

Support Body Composition
Protect your hard-earned muscle mass during weight-loss phases and support healthy weight gain when combined with exercise performance.

Ingredients

Creatine Monohydrate 5,000 mg
Creatine monohydrate plays a crucial role in cellular energy production by replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which is vital during exercise. 

myHMB® ( β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) 1,500 mg
HMB is a metabolite of the essential amino acid L-leucine, recognized for its role in muscle health and recovery.  

Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol) 12.5 mcg (500 IU)
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble micronutrient that plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones, nervous system function, and muscle mass.

Bioperine® Black Pepper Fruit Extract 5 mg
BioPerine®, a standardized black pepper fruit extract, helps increase absorption of Transparent Labs Creatine HMB. 

How to Use

Step 1 - Add Powder
Add one level scoop (included in the container) of Creatine HMB powder into a shaker cup with 10-12 ounces of cold water or your preferred beverage.*

Step 2 - Mix Thoroughly
Place the lid securely on your shaker cup and shake vigorously until the powder fully dissolves and the mix is smooth.

Step 3 - Consume
For best results, consume Transparent Labs Creatine HMB within 30 minutes after completing your resistance or weight training session to support muscle recovery and exercise performance.

Step 4 - Use Daily
On rest days, take one scoop of Creatine HMB in the morning (with or without food) to aid in recovery and maintain muscle creatine stores. Consistency is key!

Disclaimer: *Feel free to adjust the amount of liquid by a few ounces to suit your taste preferences (less water = stronger flavor and vice versa).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Should I Cycle Off Creatine Periodically?
Contrary to popular belief, cycling creatine use is neither necessary nor beneficial. Creatine monohydrate is most effective when used daily over several weeks/months/years, as this keeps your muscle creatine stores saturated.

Is Creatine Loading Necessary?
There is no need to "load" creatine— your muscle creatine stores will become saturated within a few weeks of using  Creatine HMB daily  (i.e. one scoop/serving per day). While you can safely consume 2-3 servings of Creatine HMB daily, we do not recommend using it for creatine loading as it will lead to excessive vitamin D intake.

Can I Take Creatine HMB if I Don't Exercise?
Taking Creatine HMB without exercising can still provide some benefits, such as supporting brain function and reducing muscle breakdown (both of which are important for longevity). However, to maximize the benefits of creatine supplementation, it's best to exercise regularly, particularly high-intensity training that induces marked muscle damage.

Are there any side effects of Creatine HMB?
Creatine supplementation is widely considered safe, and the most common side effects, such as muscle cramps, are transient. Drinking ample fluids when taking Creatine HMB is important to reduce the risk of adverse effects.

Can I take Creatine HMB every day?
Yes! Creatine HMB works best when taken daily over an extended period, ensuring muscle creatine stores remain saturated. We recommend taking one serving daily, even on rest days.

Why take HMB and Creatine together?
Creatine and HMB have been studied in tandem and are suggested to confer synergistic effects on athletic performance, muscle mass, and exercise performance.
