Leucine on its own is one of the most anabolic amino acids a person can ingest. Studies have shown that it can:
• Help to preserve lean muscle tissue ,
• Preserve muscle glycogen
• Improve performance
• Supply the body with energy during bouts of extreme exertion
• Increase fat loss
• When consumed alone, Leucine is now believed to be the only amino acid that can increase protein synthesis
• When combined with other proteins give a huge anabolic response
• It has also been shown to speed up the recovery process and therefore stimulate muscle growth and prevent muscle breakdown.
