Why this scored 66/100
NutraBio HMB (beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate) delivers 1,000 mg per serving. HMB is a metabolite of leucine that has been studied for muscle-anti-catabolic effects at 3 g/day (typically as 3 x 1 g doses). The evidence picture is mixed: RCTs in untrained novice lifters show meaningful anti-catabolic and lean-mass benefits; RCTs in trained athletes show much smaller effect sizes, and some well-designed trained-athlete studies show no significant benefit versus placebo. The 2017 ISSN position stand endorses HMB at 3 g/day; independent meta-analyses have been more skeptical about trained-athlete effects. NutraBio delivers a single-ingredient version at a proper 1 g/dose, transparent-label, third-party tested — the execution is clean. The score is capped at Standard because the ingredient's evidence tier is genuinely mixed for the audience most likely to buy it (trained lifters). For older adults, injured athletes returning to training, or in catabolic states, HMB has stronger support and this format delivers it well.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
