Calcium β-hydroxymethylbutyrate is a salt of β-hydroxybutyrate, commonly used in medicine and nutritional supplements.
It is an important substance for energy metabolism and can be converted into β-hydroxybutyrate in the body,
as an energy source for the brain and other important organs.
This substance plays a key role in energy metabolism after a low-carb diet, fasting, and exercise.
It is also believed to help improve blood sugar control, reduce fatigue, strengthen the immune system, and improve cardiovascular health.
