Of these three amino acids, Leucine stands out the most because it is the most effective activator of the protein known as mTOR (its activation is able to positively influence muscle protein synthesis) and it is also an exclusively ketogenic amino acid (it produces ketones during metabolism).

This amino acid is most involved in increasing muscle mass , but it is most consumed during aerobic or anaerobic sports. In the case of endurance or strength effort, leucine is one of the first to be used as a kind of luxury fuel. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement it in the diet or in the form of nutritional supplements. In addition, you need to have enough L-leucine in relation to other amino acids so that your body can fully utilize all the nutrients in what you eat. If you don't have enough L-leucine, your body won't be able to use the protein you give it, no matter how much it consumes. The level of leucine indicates the degree of anabolism in the body, and leucine accelerates regeneration and prevents the loss of muscle tissue , for example in the case of cutting diets.

L-Leucine and its benefits

• essential amino acid (one of the most important BCAA amino acids)
• supports protein synthesis
• helps protect muscle tissue
• accelerates and improves regeneration
• prevents the loss of muscle mass and catabolism
• provides the body with energy during times of stress (e.g. during sports activities)
• preserves muscle glycogen
• maintains nitrogen balance
