  • Publication number: 20210177785
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB. Methods of administering HMB to an animal are also described. HMB is administered to enhance recovery from soft tissue trauma, including both acute and non-acute soft tissue trauma. Enhanced recovery includes reduced recovery time and enhanced soft tissue healing. Soft tissue trauma includes administration of a Botulinum toxin, such as Botox. Administration of HMB in association with administration of a Botulinum toxin increases muscle strength and/or function in muscle, including adjacent and/or contralateral muscles and prevents or lessens loss of contractile material.

  • Publication number: 20210113501
    Abstract: A method of administering beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB) is described, and specifically administering HMB-acid to a person such that the administration of free acid HMB results in an increase in effectiveness of HMB over administration of other forms of HMB, including a calcium salt HMB composition is described. Administration of HMB-acid results in an increase in the peak level of HMB in plasma compared with administration of a similar dose of a calcium salt HMB composition. Administration of HMB-acid results in a faster time to reach peak plasma levels of HMB relative to administration of a similar dosage of a calcium salt HMB composition. Administration of HMB-acid results in improved bioavailability and improved pharmokinetic parameters compared to administration of the calcium salt form of HMB.
