There have been studies on older people using HMB, and in studies it did work for them.
I am nearly 70 and used the powder kind last year. I could feel it after a month. The powder is kind of caustic if not mixed into something. I took it once a day in the morning.
I got some capsuled Nutricost brand HMB that has vitamin D in it that they found in study that it worked better than HMB alone.
Capsules are a more convenient form for me. Three capsules gives one 6000 IU vitamin D which is slightly high to me.
I think it may be preferable to take it in the evening because you build the muscle during sleep.
Hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) has several potential health benefits, including:
- Muscle growth: HMB can help build lean muscle mass by increasing protein synthesis and decreasing protein breakdown.
- Improved exercise recovery: HMB can help muscles recover faster after intense or prolonged exercise.
- Reduced muscle soreness: HMB can help reduce muscle soreness.
- Better aerobic performance: HMB can help increase oxygen intake and improve cardio aerobic capacity, allowing you to work harder for longer.
- Reduced fatigue: HMB can help reduce fatigue, allowing older adults to stay active for longer.
- Preserves muscle: HMB can help preserve muscle during extended durations and when calorically deficient.

Further, they do not even tell us that their table is no more than the minimum daily requirements.
In my experience, the usual issue is that, if you rely on tables like this one, you will likely slack off for a few days, sooner or later, and sarcopenia will occur, I.e. you will not be able to maintain your muscles at these low-low protein requirement levels.
Further, in my experience, if you ever decide to develop more muscles, your muscle development will be a significant challenge for you, too, unless you double or triple these numbers for protein requirements.
