Abstract
The present invention provides a composition comprising HMB. Methods of administering HMB to an animal are also described. HMB is administered to enhance recovery from soft tissue trauma, including both acute and non-acute soft tissue trauma. Enhanced recovery includes reduced recovery time and enhanced soft tissue healing. Soft tissue trauma includes administration of a Botulinum toxin, such as Botox. Administration of HMB in association with administration of a Botulinum toxin increases muscle strength and/or function in muscle, including adjacent and/or contralateral muscles and prevents or lessens loss of contractile material.
