【Description Of L-Leucine】
As an essential amino acid, leucine is not synthesized in animals, hence it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. It is synthesized in plants and microorganisms via several steps starting from.
As a dietary supplement, leucine has been found to slow the degradation of muscle tissue by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins.Leucine is utilized in the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle tissue. In adipose and muscle tissue, leucine is used in the formation of , and the combined usage of leucine in these two tissues is seven times greater than its use in the liver.

【Function Of L-Leucine】
1.L-Leucine is the forth most concentrated amino acid in skeletal muscle tissue - it comprises about eight percent of the total amino acid count in your body's protein structures.
2. As one of the three BCAA's, L-Leucine is essential to your basic health. It has both athletic and medical applications.
3.L-Leucine maintains nitrogen balance, and it has also been shown to enhance thinking abilities that can decline as physical activity becomes more intense
4. L-Leucine also works to heal bone, skin and muscle tissue.
