The last Torq Teaser was all about HMB, or beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate. Torq’s Matt Hart asked: “What’s the name of the amino acid from which HMB is derived?” The answer was leucine. And why not just supplement with leucine? Matt explains, “supplementing with large quantities of Leucine is very expensive and will not furnish you with adequate HMB. You’ll need to take the real thing.”

Congratulations to Tareq Dessouki from Essex who supplied the first correct answer out of the hat – your box of Torq bars is on its way…
