L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, specifically classified as a "branched-chain amino acid" (BCAA). BCAAs, especially leucine, stimulate muscle protein synthesis and may be the major fuel involved in muscle building processes. This makes them especially important for body builders and other athletes in sports that demand explosive strength.
L-Leucine is an Essential Amino Acid which supports protein synthesis. It also helps to regulate several cellular processes such as protein synthesis, tissue regeneration, and metabolism.
L-Leucine is best taken while fasted or with a low protein meal.
Mix 1/2 teaspoon with water, shake, smoothie or beverage of your choice, ideally between meals.
