Nutritional Herbal Supplement Safety and Health Diet

Is leucine safe?

An excess of leucine can lead to a niacin deficiency.

A disorder called leucine-induced hypoglycemia can cause serious health problems in infants, but can be controlled with careful dietary management until the disease runs its course by the age of 5 or 6-years-old.

A person with kidney or liver disease should not consume large amounts of amino acids without first consulting with his or her physician.


How much leucine do I need?

The minimum daily requirement of leucine for an average-size adult (150 pounds) is approximately 950mg.

Dietary sources of leucine are essential, since the body is unable to produce its own supply of this amino acid.
