Leucine![]() |
||||
Leucine, like all amino acids, is needed to make various proteins used for the maintenance, repair, and growth of body tissues.
Leucine works with two other branch-chain amino acids, isoleucine and valine, to make compounds needed for the production of energy.
Leucine stimulates the secretion of insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels.
