Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB) imapezeka kwambiri mu zipatso za citrus, masamba ena monga broccoli, nyemba monga nyemba, nsomba zina ndi nsomba za m'nyanja. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid (HMB), monga metabolite ya leucine, yasonyezedwa kuti iwonjezere kaphatikizidwe ka minofu, kuchepetsa kuwonongeka kwa minofu, ndipo imakhala ndi zotsatira zotsutsa-kutupa. Kutembenuka kwa HMB kukhala mchere wokhazikika wa β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate calcium salt (HMB-CA) kwagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pazakudya zamasewera ndi zakudya zina, zomwe zitha kukhala ndi gawo lapadera lazakudya:

1, yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito kulimbikitsa kukula kwa minofu, kupititsa patsogolo chitetezo cha mthupi, kuchepetsa mlingo wa cholesterol ndi otsika-density lipoprotein (LDL) m'thupi kuti achepetse kuchitika kwa matenda a mtima ndi matenda a mtima, komanso kupititsa patsogolo luso la kukonza nayitrogeni, kusunga mapuloteni m'thupi;

2, ikhoza kuwonjezeredwa ku zakumwa, mkaka ndi mkaka, koko, chokoleti ndi chokoleti, maswiti, zinthu zophikidwa, zakudya zapadera za zakudya, ndalama zovomerezeka zikadali ≤3 g / tsiku; 3, United States Food and Drug Administration GRAS kuzindikira, kuchuluka kwa kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwa chakudya chamankhwala ndi zakudya zapadera. Malinga ndi Table 2 ndi Table 3 ya China "General Rules for Sports Nutrition Food of the National Standard for Food Safety" (GB 24154-2015), 1-3 g/tsiku ikhoza kuwonjezeredwa kuzinthu zamasewera olimbitsa thupi mwachangu ndi mphamvu.
