I hadn't heard of HMB but it does look promising. I'm in the camp that as long as it's safe, it can't hurt to try it. I use the Nutricost brand for some other supplements so, like Skullo, I will be ordering theirs from Amazon and hoping for some positive results
Since you are also a ZWIFTer, please do a FTP test (I did my first one today - the 20 min version) to establish a baseline when you are well rested. Then after two or three months, take another and compare results.

From what I read, it takes some time for HMB to become effective. Please post your results.
