What is leucine?

Leucine is an essential amino acid.

A dietary source of leucine is required since the body cannot make this amino acid.

Leucine belongs to the group of branch-chain amino acids.


Current research on leucine?

Athletic Performance: Leucine, along with the other branch-chain amino acids, might promote muscle recovery after physical exercise.

Phenylketonuria: Leucine might be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria (a condition in which the body cannot metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine); however, phenylketonuria always should be treated and monitored by a physician.
