It contains HMB (β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate), a substance naturally produced in the body during the metabolism of the essential amino acid leucine. \u003cstrong\u003eHMB is involved in the regulation of muscle protein metabolism\u003c\/strong\u003e. With age, the amount of HMB produced by the body decreases with muscle health. AminAmend™ provides HMB in the form of calcium HMB (CaHMB), together with \u003cstrong\u003evitamin D3, which plays an essential role in maintaining normal muscle function\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on research of HMB’s nutritional value for maintaining muscle health in humans, horses, sows, and on recently published studies in canines, AminAmend™ contributes to the nutritional needs of aging companions, dogs during convalescence and dogs engaged in strenuous sporting or working activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e (per capsule):\u003cbr\u003eCaHMB – 430 mg\u003cbr\u003eVitamin D3 – 142 IU\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcipients\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eStearic acid, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, gelatin (capsule shell).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdministration\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eAminAmend™ comes in sprinkle capsules containing powder that can be easily mixed with food.

In racing greyhounds, HMB supplementation was associated with reduced markers of muscle damage, support for recovery after intense exercise and improvements in certain performance parameters. In sled dogs, HMB supplementation was followed by a reduction in levels of the muscle enzymes creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which are used as markers of muscle damage. In a blinded crossover trial of dogs with muscular atrophy, HMB increased measured daily activity and changed whole-body protein\/amino-acid metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClinical studies for download\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2562\/2324\/files\/2026_-_Calcium_beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate_improves_canine_performance_in_greyhounds_and_mushing_dogs.pdf?v=1791822731\"\u003e2026 - Calcium beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate improves canine performance in greyhounds and mushing dogs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2562\/2324\/files\/2025_Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate_HMB_improves_daily_activity_and_whole-body_protein_metabolism_in_Duchenne_muscular_dystrophy_dogs.pdf?v=1791822732\"\u003e2025 - Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) improves daily activity and whole-body protein metabolism in Duchenne muscular dystrophy dogs: a pilot study\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2562\/2324\/files\/2022_Supplementing_sows_with_the_leucine_metabolite_beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate_and_vitamin_D3_improves_piglet_birth_weights_that_may_lead_to_increased_weaning_weights.pdf?v=1791822731\"\u003e2022 - Supplementing sows with the leucine metabolite beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and vitamin D3 improves piglet birth weights that may lead to increased weaning weights\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2562\/2324\/files\/2011_Effects_of_b-Hydroxy-b-Methylbutyrate_and_g-Oryzanol_on_Blood_Biochemical_Markers_in_Exercising_Thoroughbred_Race_Horses.pdf?v=1791822731\"\u003e2011 - Effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate and gamma-oryzanol on blood biochemical markers in exercising thoroughbred race horses\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biohealth Solutions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58886392119677,"sku":null,"price":51.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2562\/2324\/files\/AminAmend430mg_naweb.png?v=1791823526","url":"https:\/\/www.mantastore.co.uk\/products\/aminamend-muscle-support-for-dogs","provider":"Manta Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
