HMB-FA+ATP supplementation resulted in statistically significant changes in muscle mass compared to placebo.
Supplementing with HMB-FA and ATP may enhance muscle mass gains in individuals already engaged in resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
remarkably consistent between‐group changes in muscle mass to find statistical significance between an HMB‐FA+ATP supplemented (n = 8) versus placebo (n = 9) groups.
Why this rating
The claim is based on a comparison of two groups in a controlled study.

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
