Most people taking creatine don't know this.
Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in sports nutrition, and it works. But it has one significant blind spot: it does very little to prevent muscle breakdown during and after intense training. So while it's helping you produce more ATP and push harder, catabolism is quietly working against your recovery.
That's where HMB comes in. HMB is a natural metabolite of leucine and one of the few compounds shown in clinical research to directly reduce muscle protein breakdown, repair damaged muscle cell membranes, and amplify the anabolic effect of creatine when the two are combined.
BUILD pairs 5g of micronized creatine monohydrate with 3g of HMB-Ca and black pepper extract for full absorption. No fillers, no additives, nothing unnecessary.
If you're serious about lean mass and recovery, this is the combination the research actually supports.
