- 1 g of BetaTOR HMB per softgel — 3 g a day at the label protocol.
- 84 liquid softgels — 28 days at three a day. No powder, no mixing.
- Stimulant-free — both actives printed with their amounts.
MuscleTech Clear Muscle is a liquid-softgel HMB supplement made by MuscleTech and imported to New Zealand by Xplosiv as the US formula. Each softgel carries 1 g of BetaTOR beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) — a compound the body makes from the essential amino acid leucine — alongside 250 mg of betaine anhydrous. One bottle holds 84 softgels.
One softgel. 1 g of HMB.
HMB for lifters who'd rather swallow a softgel than mix another powder. No flavour, no shaker, no stimulants — three softgels across the day is the label's full protocol.
What you actually get
- 1 g of BetaTOR HMB in every softgel — three softgels puts 3 g of HMB through the day, which is what the label's protocol is built around.
- Swallow it, don't shake it — one softgel per serve, no flavour and no mixing. Useful when you already have two powders in the gym bag.
- No caffeine or other stimulants — nothing in the formula competes with a pre-workout, or with an evening serve.
- Both actives printed with their amounts — two ingredients, two numbers, no proprietary blend hiding a dose.
Why it works
Training blocks are won between sessions. The hard part of a structured lifting block isn't the session you just finished — it's turning up in decent shape for the next one, three or four times a week, for months. That's the window supplements like this one are aimed at, and it's the reason the label splits the dose across the day rather than stacking it around training.
HMB is what leucine becomes. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate is a compound the body produces from leucine, one of the essential amino acids in dietary protein. Clear Muscle supplies it directly rather than relying on that conversion: BetaTOR is MuscleTech's branded HMB, supplied in the free-acid form, at 1 g per softgel. Taken across the day at the label protocol, HMB supports muscle recovery after resistance training.
The small ingredient gets printed too. Each softgel also carries 250 mg of betaine anhydrous from beetroot — 750 mg across a three-softgel day. It's on the panel, so it's on this page. We don't attach a benefit claim to betaine at that amount, and you shouldn't buy the product for it.

How to use
- Three times a day — take 1 serving (1 softgel) with a glass of water, ideally one in the morning, one mid-afternoon and one in the evening.
- On workout days, move one serve — take one of your three servings 30 minutes before training, and keep the other two spread through the day.
- Stay inside the label — do not exceed 3 softgels in a 24-hour period.
Is it for you?
Built for
- Lifters in a structured resistance-training block who want HMB at the label's full daily amount
- Anyone who would rather swallow a softgel than mix and drink another powder
- People who train late, or who already run a stimulant pre-workout and don't want more
- Label-readers who want both ingredient amounts printed rather than hidden in a blend
Not for
- Anyone under 18
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Anyone on medication or managing a health condition, without talking to their doctor first
- Anyone shopping for a pre-workout — there is no caffeine in this formula
- Anyone expecting a month-plus bottle at once-daily dosing
Stack with the basics first
HMB is a support act, not a substitute. It sits on top of the things that actually drive a training block — enough daily protein to cover your workload, sessions you turn up to, and sleep. Lifters running Clear Muscle are usually already covering protein with a whey or a plant blend and training three or more times a week. If those aren't in place yet, spend the money there first and come back to this one.
FAQ
What is HMB?
HMB is beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate, a compound the body produces from leucine — one of the essential amino acids found in dietary protein. Only a small fraction of the leucine you eat converts to HMB, which is why it is sold as a standalone supplement. Clear Muscle supplies it as BetaTOR, MuscleTech's branded HMB, at 1 g per softgel.
How long does one bottle last?
Twenty-eight days. The bottle holds 84 softgels and the label protocol is three servings a day, so 84 divided by three is 28 days of full dosing. The panel lists "84 servings per container" because it counts one softgel as one serving — that is servings, not days. Plan for a four-week bottle.
Is there caffeine or any other stimulant in it?
No. The panel lists two actives — BetaTOR HMB and betaine anhydrous — and neither is a stimulant. There is no caffeine, no yohimbine and nothing else that would keep you awake, so the evening serve in the label protocol is workable and it will not stack on top of a pre-workout.
Why is betaine in the formula, and why no claim for it?
Betaine anhydrous, sourced from beetroot, sits at 250 mg per softgel — 750 mg across a full day. We print it because it is on the Supplement Facts panel and you deserve the whole label. We do not attach a benefit claim to it at that amount, and it is not the reason to buy this product.
Do I take it on days I don't train?
Yes — the label protocol is three servings a day, every day, with one softgel in the morning, one mid-afternoon and one in the evening. On days you do train, the only change is moving one of those three serves to 30 minutes before your session. Do not exceed three softgels in 24 hours.
Is this the US version of Clear Muscle?
Yes. This is the United States formula, imported into New Zealand by Xplosiv, so the bottle carries US label conventions — imperial storage temperatures and a bioengineered-ingredients declaration among them. The Supplement Facts tab on this page reproduces that panel, with the storage range also given in Celsius.
What are the allergens?
The label declares that it contains coconut ingredients. The softgel shell is listed as glycerin, modified food starch, carrageenan, sorbitol and purified water, coated with hypromellose, glycerin and natural flavour, and no gelatin appears in that list. If you manage an allergy, read the physical bottle label before your first serve.
What are the shipping and returns terms?
Xplosiv's standard shipping and returns terms apply to this product, and they are linked in the footer of every page on the site — read them before ordering. If a bottle arrives damaged, or the wrong item is sent, contact the Xplosiv team through the contact page on this site with your order number.
