2-Amino-4-Methylvaleric Acid

 
Description

Leucine is an essential amino acid and should be part of your daily diet. It is known as a Branched-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA), which prevents other amino acids from being broken down.

Leucine works in combination with isoleucine and valine to protect muscle tissue. Found in high concentrations in muscle tissue, it is metabolized and used as fuel. Together, these amino acids promote healing of muscle, bones, skin, wounds, and assist in recovery after surgery

Leucine is essential for growth and stimulates protein synthesis in muscle.
