    For years I was a big supporter of HMB. From all I read it was a good supplement but the doses you really need it can get expensive.. maybe not so much for a girl since you weigh much less than a BB guy (in most cases) you could get away with the 3-5 grams. HMB is a good form of calcium so you can't go wrong there.. From my understanding it is more bio-available that normal calcium carbonate?? I am not 100% positive but that is what I have read.

    HMB is a form of the amino acid leucine.

    Again, not very $$$ if bought it bulk as a powder.

    Maybe I am thinking of something different than?

    Calcium B-Hydroxy B-Methylbutyrate Monohydrate which has about 250mg of calcium in a daily dose of 3 grams. Not enough for the normal person but is a better form of calcium than the others you buy OTC.

    anyway not really the point HMB works but you could spend your $$ better IMO.
