Not enough data to give a real report yet.I have only used three days , two grams twice and one gram today.
I felt a little tired today and my numbers were a little lower.I think this was because I have ridden the trainer pretty hard
seven days in a row.I will rest a day.
I use the Nutricost brand and its cheaper from amazon and if you have prime no additional shipping.
I was browsing the latest "how much protein" thread and saw something at a link that said people with a history
of kidney stones should be careful with calcium supplements.There are 140 mg of calcium per gram of HMB.
I have passed two stones in my life, and they where nineteen years apart so I do not think I am what they call a stone former.
But this info has gotten my attention.I do suffer from gout, so it likely a uric acid stone and not a calcium stone.
My gout is well controlled by medication and acute episodes are rare.
The first stone back in year 2000 went down the toilet so could not be analyzed .
I still have the one from two years ago, never sent it in for testing.
I found a lab that will do testing direct to individuals so I believe I will be
limiting the HMB until I know more.
Don't mean to make this a Pills n Ills thread , but this needs to be considered if you are prone to stones
and are thinking of using this supplement.
