Muscle Protect™ with HMB is a natural orange-flavored powder formulated by Douglas Laboratories. It combines myHMB® Calcium β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate monohydrate (HMB), the Amino9™ Amino Blend of essential amino acids (EAAs), vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, and L-glutamine to support healthy muscle mass and muscle function.
myHMB® is a registered trademark of SourceOne Global Partners and is a concentrated metabolite of the branched-chain amino acid leucine. The Amino9™ Amino Blend, a registered trademark of Compound Solutions Inc., is a leucine-rich blend of nine essential amino acids: L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Histidine, and L-Tryptophan. Nutritional uses of Calcium β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate Monohydrate (HMB) and Vitamin D in this formula are licensed to Douglas Laboratories under U.S. Patent #8,815,280, #9,259,430, #9,539,224, and #9,707,241.
This formula is intended for adults seeking to maintain skeletal muscle mass and function throughout the lifespan, including aging adults and physically active individuals who may experience some degree of muscle loss. It is designed as a great-tasting drink mix dissolved in water or another beverage, making it practical for daily use.
The product is free from dairy, GMOs, gluten, and sugar, and is sweetened naturally with stevia leaf extract and monk fruit extract (Siraitia grosvenorii). Vitamin D3 and glutamine are included to provide additional support for muscle health.

myHMB® Calcium β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate Monohydrate (HMB) — a metabolite of leucine that supports lean muscle mass by helping to attenuate muscle protein breakdown and supporting protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.
Amino9™ Amino Blend — a leucine-rich blend of all nine essential amino acids; leucine has an important role in the regulation of muscle protein synthesis, and the complete EAA blend supports muscle protein balance.
Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) — supports healthy muscle function and energy metabolism.
L-Glutamine — acts as an essential substrate for enterocytes and immune cells and supports protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.
