Benefits

  • Supports muscle protein synthesis
  • Promotes muscle recovery after exercise
  • May help preserve lean muscle mass
  • Supports metabolic health
  • Functions as anti-caking agent in supplements
  • May support blood sugar regulation

Specific Properties

  • Leucine bound to other amino acids
  • May have enhanced absorption properties
  • Provides sustained release of leucine
  • Often derived from whey or casein proteins
  • May have additional bioactive properties

Safety Notes

Generally recognized as safe when used as directed. Well-tolerated even at higher doses. May cause mild digestive discomfort in some individuals. Those with maple syrup urine disease should avoid leucine supplementation.
