L-LEUCINE POWDER - 9 OZ

Leucine - The Building Block of Muscle

Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in muscle tissue structure. It is also a signaling molecule that helps to regulate optimal skeletal muscle protein synthesis. In addition, leucine helps to maintain already healthy glucose metabolism and insulin function, and may help to promote the use of fat for energy. Studies suggest that leucine, in conjunction with adequate dietary protein, may help to build and maintain lean tissue and optimize body composition. NOW Sports Leucine Powder is instantized for easy mixing in water, beverages or smoothies. No clumping.

The Role of Leucine in Muscle Building

Leucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) that is critical in muscle tissue structure. Among the BCAAs, leucine is unique in its role as a signaling molecule that helps to regulate optimal skeletal muscle protein synthesis in normal tissues. In addition, it helps to maintain already healthy glucose metabolism and insulin function, and may help to promote the use of fat for energy. Studies suggest that leucine, in conjunction with adequate dietary protein, may help to build and maintain lean tissue and optimize body composition. NOW Sports Leucine Powder is instantized for easy mixing in water, beverages or smoothies – meaning no clumping! Simply add it to your favorite beverage or shake and enjoy.

In Summary:

Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in muscle tissue structure and regulation. It also has positive effects on glucose metabolism, insulin function, and energy production. When taken together with adequate dietary protein, leucine can help to build and maintain lean tissue mass, optimize body composition, and support overall health.
