Transparent Labs Creatine HMB is an evidence-based step forward for creatine supplementation, which is well-known to enhance muscle growth and athletic performance (e.g. muscle endurance and strength).
This formula harnesses the synergy of creatine monohydrate—the most studied form of creatine—and a naturally occurring metabolite known as beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), the latter of which helps reduce muscle damage and muscle protein breakdown.
Creatine HMB is rounded out with BioPerine®, an absorption enhancer, and vitamin D3 for comprehensive muscle recovery and support of lean tissue mass.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Key Ingredients
Our formulas are made with clean, natural ingredients, with clinically-validated dosages to support health and performance.
Creatine Monohydrate
5,000 mg
Creatine monohydrate plays a crucial role in cellular energy production by replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, which is vital during exercise.
myHMB® ( β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate)
1,500 mg
HMB is a metabolite of the essential amino acid L-leucine, recognized for its role in muscle health and recovery.
Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)
12.5 mcg (500 IU)
Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble micronutrient that plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones, nervous system function, and muscle mass.
Bioperine® Black Pepper Fruit Extract
5 mg
BioPerine®, a standardized black pepper fruit extract, helps increase absorption of Transparent Labs Creatine HMB.
Creatine Monohydrate
5,000 mg
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most extensively researched dietary ingredients, particularly in the context of physical performance and body composition.
Because of its extensive scientific data, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) has recognized creatine monohydrate as the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement currently available. [1]
Research indicates that combining creatine monohydrate supplementation with resistance/weight training can lead to significant positive impact on performance output, lean muscle mass, strength gains, and recovery from exercise. [2, 3, 4]
Supplementing with creatine increases the amount of creatine stored in your muscle cells, known as "muscle creatine stores." This is crucial for sustaining energy levels during exercise, as creatine helps replenish adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the body's primary energy source—especially during high-intensity activities where ATP is rapidly depleted.
myHMB® ( β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate)
1,500 mg
One of the principal effects of Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) is its ability to reduce muscle protein breakdown enhancing recovery following physical stress.
HMB has been well-researched for its potential benefits on muscle mass, strength,exercise performance, and recovery. [5]
Current evidence suggests that HMB accelerates the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle after high-intensity or prolonged exercise, which contributes to enhanced athletic performance and muscle gains in active individuals. [6, 7, 8]
Moreover, when combined with creatine monohydrate, HMB may confer additive effects, leading to further improvements in body composition, physical performance, and recovery time [10].
Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)
12.5 mcg (500 IU)
Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight and is also found in various foods.
Research has shown that vitamin D can enhance the muscle protein synthesis rate, particularly when combined with other anabolic factors like insulin and HMB [12]. This is thought to be through the sensitization of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, a key regulator of protein synthesis in muscle cells.
The combined effect of vitamin D with HMB and insulin leads to further activation of protein synthesis, suggesting a synergistic role of vitamin D in enhancing muscle anabolism/growth.
Bioperine® Black Pepper Fruit Extract
5 mg
The black pepper plant (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine that bears fruits (peppercorns) containing roughly 2-7.4% piperine by mass. In comparison, BioPerine®, a standardized extract of black pepper, contains a minimum of 95% piperine by mass. Hence, as little as 5 mg BioPerine® provides as much piperine as 250 mg of most black pepper spices. (For reference, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper weighs about 500 mg.)
Piperine, the major alkaloid found in black pepper, has been an emphasis of research in recent years due to its promising bioavailability-enhancing properties [13]. In other words, supplementing with BioPerine® helps increase the amount of active ingredient absorption in Transparent Labs Creatine HMB.
