Built Around Human Biology

HME®

HME® (Human Muscle Equivalent) began with a simple question: if muscle is built from amino acids, why hasn't muscle nutrition been designed from muscle itself?

Drawing on more than 15 years of clinical research and muscle science, we analyzed humanmuscle biopsy data to develop a patented amino acid formulation designed to mirror the composition of muscle tissue. The result is HME, a precision approach to muscle nutrition grounded in human biology.

From Biopsy To Blueprint

Every innovation begins with a deeper understanding of the system it aims to support. For HME, that journey started with human muscle itself.

Using human muscle biopsy data, our research examined the amino acid composition of muscle tissue to better understand the blueprint behind muscle itself.

These insights became the foundation for a patented formulation designed to mirror that composition, resulting in HME® (Human Muscle Equivalent).

The Early Belivers

Before HME became a company, it was a formulation tested by early believers, including Gary LeBlancand Anthony Lacavera. Their confidence in the science and potential of HME led them to become investors and advisors, helping shape the company's journey from the very beginning.

FAQs

(Frequently Asked Questions)

No. This is not a protein replacement. It's designed to complement your nutrition by supporting muscle recovery, performance, and nutrient absorption alongside a balanced diet that includes adequate protein.
Yes. The 30–60 min after training is when your body’s ready to grow.
Most supplements miss it. HME doesn’t.
Take the pill first, followed by the powder as directed. This sequence is designed to help prepare your body for better nutrient absorption and maximize the benefits of the formula.
You can, but they're formulated to work together. Using both products as directed provides the complete system and delivers the best overall results for recovery, performance, and muscle support.
Bioavailability refers to how much of a nutrient your body can actually absorb and use. A supplement with higher bioavailability helps ensure more of the active ingredients reach where they're needed instead of passing through your system.
BCAAs and EAAs can support muscle recovery, but they're only one part of the equation. Recovery and performance also depend on factors like nutrient absorption, hydration, overall protein intake, and complete nutritional support. Our formula is designed to address these factors together for more comprehensive results.
