True or False: α-Hydroxy-Isocaproic Acid aka HICA is a Potent Anti-Catabolic, Just Like the Shiny Ads Say
Even Arnold benefited from α-hydroxy-isocaproic acid aka HICA - the HICA his body produced and the HICA he got from his diet, whenever he ate cheese and other fermented foods. You know that I am not the kind of person who likes to tell others what to do. After reading my summary of the contemporary research on α-hydroxy-isocaproic acid aka HICA, you should yet be able to decide whether it's worth a try or not. If you take a look at the pertinent databases you will realize that there are more patents than papers on α-hydroxy-isocaproic acid - usually, this is a good indicator we are dealing with another industry scam, but in contrast to the many funky forms of creatine, α-hydroxy-isocaproic acid does actually have a handful of studies to back up that it does... or I should say "that it could" help you getting big and buffed. If I had to chose between HMB and HICA , I would choose HMB... or better stick to whey ! HMB + Over- reaching = WIN HMB, ATP, Gylcogen...
