Leucine
What is Leucine used for?
Leucine is one of the 3 essential branched chain amino acids. These amino acids can be used by skeletal muscle to give energy during exercise. Eating foods that have complete protein gives enough of these amino acids. This includes foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and milk.
- Skin care:Leucine is an essential amino acid for protein synthesis. Additionally, similarly to other amino acids, the carbon skeleton of leucine can be used to generate ATP. However, leucine can also regulate several cellular processes such as protein synthesis, tissue regeneration, and metabolism.
In addition to being an energy source, leucine also plays a key role in building new muscle tissue. It is needed to signal the process of building new muscle. In fact, leucine is the most powerful activator of muscle growth out of all other amino acids.
Leucine In plants and microorganisms, leucine is synthesized from pyruvic acid. Major dietary sources of leucine include high-protein animal products, dairy products, eggs, pulses and whole grains.

Safety Profile of Leucine
Leucine is a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that stimulates muscle protein synthesis. It’s generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing or feeding practice.The World Health Organization states that healthy adults should get 18 mg of leucine per pound (39 mg per kg) of body weight per day. This equates to approximately 3.1 grams per day for a 175-pound (80-kg) person. Leucine is safe at the proposed use level of 25 mg/kg when used as a flavoring compound for all animal species.
