EAS HMB is a single-ingredient capsule: 1,500mg of calcium HMB (calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) per 2-capsule serving, with 120 capsules and 60 servings per bottle. HMB is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, and it has been studied for its role in limiting muscle protein breakdown during hard training. It is a simple, stimulant-free way to support recovery and strength alongside a high-protein diet.† The capsules are made with gelatin, so this is not a vegetarian product. Two independent retailer listings agree on this formula; EAS does not have a current product page we could check, so read the bottle for the full panel.

Where HMB Fits in Your Stack
HMB is not a protein, a creatine or a stimulant. It sits in the recovery category: the idea is to support muscle retention when training is hard and frequent. That makes it a reasonable add-on for anyone ramping up volume, coming back from a layoff, or training through a calorie deficit. It works alongside your protein intake rather than replacing it. Because it has no caffeine, you can take it any time of day, including rest days.†
Calcium HMB 1,500mg
Your body makes HMB when it breaks down leucine, but only a small share of dietary leucine ends up as HMB, which is why it is sold as a supplement. Research has looked at HMB for its role in muscle protein breakdown and recovery from intense exercise, and studies commonly use about 3g per day split into doses. Two capsules twice daily gets you to that 3g. Results tend to be most noticeable in people who are newer to training or returning after time off; experienced lifters may notice less.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much EAS HMB should I take per day?
The directions call for 2 capsules twice daily with protein-containing meals, which is 3,000mg of calcium HMB per day. That matches the daily amount used in most HMB research. At that rate one bottle lasts about 30 days. Do not exceed the label directions.† -
Is HMB the same as leucine or BCAAs?
No. Leucine is an amino acid, and HMB is one of the compounds your body makes from it. BCAA and EAA products supply leucine itself, while this product supplies HMB directly. Some people use both, but HMB does not count toward your protein intake.† -
Can I take HMB with creatine?
Yes. HMB and creatine work through different pathways, and they are commonly stacked. Take your creatine as usual and take HMB with your protein-containing meals. If you are adding several new supplements at once, start one at a time so you know how each one sits with you.† -
Does EAS HMB have caffeine or anything banned in sport?
There is no caffeine or stimulant in the formula. Calcium HMB is not on the WADA Prohibited List. The retailer listings we checked do not mention third-party sport certification, so tested athletes should confirm with their governing body before use.
How to Take EAS HMB
Take 2 capsules twice daily with protein-containing meals. One retailer listing also suggests taking a serving at least 30 minutes before training on workout days. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant or nursing, under 18, have a medical condition, or take prescription or over-the-counter medication, talk to your physician before use.
