▸ Editor's verdict SKIP-FOR-NOW HIGH
"Adequate whole-food protein intake (2g/kg) provides enough leucine that endogenous HMB production saturates the mechanism. Meta-analyses in trained athletes show small-to-null effects vs placebo. The strong-effect populations (elderly, untrained, bedrested, cachectic) are not this user. Athletes who would benefit most are those eating low protein or in a substantial deficit — neither describes a 20-year-old MMA athlete on a well-built stack. ISSN consensus paper supports clinical applications but is appropriately cautious about trained-athlete claims. Skip in favor of optimizing whole-protein intake; if hyper-marginal gains are sought, creatine has 50x the evidence at similar cost."
