Legion Creatine + HMB Ingredients (7.5 grams per serving)

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (5 grams per serving)

Creatine is a compound made up of the amino acids L-arginine, glycine, and methionine. Our body can produce creatine naturally, but it can also absorb and store creatine found in various foods like meat, eggs, and fish.

Creatine monohydrate is creatine with one molecule of water attached to it. This form of creatine has been around (and studied) for decades and is a tried-and-true winner, whereas other forms have failed to produce better results.

The creatine monohydrate in our creatine + HMB has also been micronized, which is a process that produces very fine particles that are more water soluble and easier to digest. Thus, micronized creatine monohydrate mixes better with liquid than the non-micronized form and is less likely to upset sensitive stomachs.

Research shows that supplementation with creatine monohydrate . . .

  • Boosts muscle and strength gain[6][7][8][9]
  • Improves anaerobic endurance[10][11][12][13][14][15]
  • Reduces muscle damage and soreness from exercise[16][17]
  • Increases the amount of glycogen your muscles can store[18]
  • Helps preserve lean mass and strength while restricting calories[19]

And in case you’re worried that creatine is bad for your kidneys, these claims have been horribly overblown.[20][21] Creatine supplementation isn’t advised in cases of kidney disease treated by diuretics, but in healthy people, both short- and long-term usage of creatine has no harmful side effects.[22][23][24]

The clinically effective dose of creatine monohydrate is 3 to 5 grams.[25]

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

myHMB® β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (2.5 grams per serving)

β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate (HMB) is a compound produced when the body breaks down leucine, an amino acid that stimulates protein synthesis.[26]

myHMB® is a patented form of HMB and one of the most clinically proven forms on the market, with over 150 peer-reviewed studies supporting its safety and efficacy.

HMB reduces protein breakdown, strengthens muscle cell membranes, and activates muscle-building molecules like mTOR and IGF-1.[27][28]

Research shows that supplementation with myHMB® . . .

The clinically effective dose of HMB is between 2,000 and 3,000 milligrams.

myHMB® β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate

No Artificial Food Dyes, Fillers, or Other Unnecessary Junk

Artificial food dyes and fillers may not be as dangerous as some people claim, but studies show they can cause negative effects in some people, including gastrointestinal toxicity and behavioral disorders.[41][42][43][44][45]

That’s why we use natural coloring derived from fruits and other foods as well as naturally derived ingredients for enhancing shelf life and facilitating the manufacturing process.

No Artificial Food Dyes or Other Chemical Junk

Third-Party Lab Tested for Purity and Accuracy

Our creatine + HMB is third-party lab tested for purity and accuracy and certified to meet or exceed FDA safety guidelines.[46]

Third-Party Lab Tested for Purity and Accuracy

Made in the USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want to buy from a company that:

  1. Sources ingredients from premium suppliers around the world (great supplements require great raw materials)
  2. Tests all products for purity and accuracy in accredited laboratories (to conclusively verify safety and efficacy)
  3. Manufactures in America, which has some of the strictest regulations in the world

And that’s exactly what we do here at Legion.
