L-Leucine
L-leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis*
L-leucine is an essential amino acid, specifically classified as a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA). BCAAs, especially leucine, stimulate muscle protein synthesis and may be the major fuel involved in anabolic reactions. This makes BCAAs important for bodybuilders and other athletes involved in sports that demand explosive strength.*
