As one of the only free acid versions, I can feel an absolute difference. I am 43, and I use this for its anti catabolic effect. I don't make it to exercise hardly ever, and I work a ton. It helps me sustain quite well what I naturally achieve, and helps with pain and recovery. Maybe this is your situation too. Also this goes on sale often enough to fit my budget. I'm one of those who usually can't afford the list price, so I am giving five stars in that they do sell it affordable for me often enough which I highly appreciate and hope they don't stop doing. It seems like they are studying the speed at which they sell at varying prices, and they may find the median. But HMB is amazing for older active folks like myself. I have tried other brands, especially when this price inflated late last year, but none worked as well. To me, Muscletech is a fair priced brand that delivers legitimate quality products. Now, I did use this also a few years back when I did work out waaaaay more often, and I remember vividly that I had substantially more gains when using HMB FA, whether before after or during; no difference. Seemingly it is more about the anti catabolic effects and the recovery, than it is about performance, which it will inadvertently affect by reason of the former. I hope my experience could be of some use.

I’m not sure if it’s working, but since I started taking it with L-leucine six months ago, I feel like I’ve gained some muscle and recover faster.

You can feel the energy it provides. Easy to swallow. However, once the bottle is opened the capsules get a wet texture and a sour taste to them.

Works great - more energy, seems to help in going the extra mile, give that extra push beyond what you’ve done before in the weight room. Yes, it smells terrible when you open the jar, but it doesn’t translate to taste, and there’s no aftertaste or burps, so it’s better than fish oil pills or anything like that. Would recommend.
