Leucine (L-Leucine) is regarded as one of the most important amino acids to increase protein synthesis. Stimulating protein synthesis is essential to athletes that are looking to recover, repair and gain muscle mass. Our pure leucine powder is an easy, convenient and effective way to increase leucine intake, stimulate protein synthesis which in turn increases muscle mass.

L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, meaning the body cannot produce it. Instead, we must source it from dietary sources (food or supplements). It is one of the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) alongside Isoleucine and Valine. With Leucine being the more prominent amino acid in BCAA blends, often in 2:1:1 or more recently 4:1:1 ratios.

It’s considered to be the most effective amino acid in BCAAs responsible for energy production. The majority of dietary leucine is used to provide energy during exercise. Therefore it is extremely important to have adequate amounts of within the body to ensure optimal energy and performance levels.

Leucine is a Branch Chain Amino Acid (one of the 3, along with Isoleucine and Valine). Leucine is considered the amino acid with the greatest muscle building benefits – it has been scientifically proven to boost protein synthesis, and stimulate muscle growth.

Leucine stimulates muscle growth by activating mTOR – the “mammalian target of rapamycin”. What’s mTOR? It’s essentially an internal sensor for insulin, growth factors (such as IGF-1 and IGF-2), amino acids, cellular nutrients, oxygen, and energy levels. In other words, it senses what’s happening in your body and tells your muscles when they can repair and grow! By taking Leucine, you’re triggering mTOR to tell your muscles to use available dietary protein and start growing. It makes your body utilise available protein more effectively for muscle growth, and is a perfect addition to any post workout protein shake to trigger greater gains from your workout.We recommend 3 grams in your post workout protein shake. You can also include 3 grams in your intra-workout shake if you’re dieting (and risk going into catabolism) or bulking and looking for maximum muscle growth.

Our Pure Leucine has been produced in-house in our own custom built factory, using ingredients from approved, audited suppliers who meet our strict quality assurance standards, and work within our principles.
