L-Leucine is an essential amino acid meaning it cannot be adequately synthesised by the human body and therefore, must be consumed through our dietary food intake or in supplement form.

Leucine is an amino acid that’s important for building muscle and is a popular supplement among bodybuilders:

Muscle growth: Leucine is a branch-chain amino acid (BCAA) that’s essential for building and repairing muscle. Some researchers say leucine may be the most important BCAA.
Endurance and strength: Leucine can help athletes increase their endurance and strength.
Blood sugar: Leucine may help maintain normal blood sugar levels.
Fast-acting: Supplemental leucine is absorbed quickly, while leucine from whole foods can take hours to be assimilated.

Here are some tips for incorporating leucine into your bodybuilding routine:

Eat soy foods

Regularly eating soy foods is a good way to ensure you’re getting enough leucine.
Take a supplement

Vegan athletes and those trying to gain muscle can take 2-3 grams of leucine powder at each main meal that doesn’t contain soy.
Combine with protein

One study found that taking 50 mg/kg of leucine per day, in addition to 1.26 g/kg of protein per day, prevented a decrease in serum leucine levels in power-trained athletes.

Suggested Use

Consume 1-2 servings daily preferably with food. For optimal results on training days consume one serving 45 minutes prior to exercise and one serving post exercise.
