Physical Functions
Leucine is the only dietary protein that has the capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis .Working together with isoleucine and valine, it can repair muscles, control blood sugar level, and provide energy for organisms. L-leucine can stimulate growth hormone production. It can also boost burning of visceral fat, which is deeply located inside the body and is therefore hardly affected by ordinary exercise or diet.
Along with valine and isoleucine, leucine is a branched-chain amino acid, which can facilitate post-exercise muscle recovery. Leucine is most effective in terms of preventing muscle wasting by converting to glucose quickly. It works very well for bodybuilding athletes because increasing glucose can prevent muscle damage. The fact that leucine can break down to glucose easily makes it helpful for sugar blood regulation. Leucine deficiency may induce hypoglycemia-like symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, depression, mentally deranged, and fractiousness, etc.
Leucine can also boost healing of bones, skin, and damaged muscles. Leucine
supplements are often recommended by doctors to post-operative patients.
As an essential amino acid, leucine is not synthesized in animals; hence it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. People, who undertake high intensity physical activity and who are on a low-protein diet, should consider taking leucine supplements either on its own or with isoleucine and valine, which is better. It is therefore more convenient to choose the combinational supplements .
◆ Applications and Usages
L-leucine is an essential amino acid. Like isoleucine and valine, it has relatively long aliphatic side chains. These residues often aggregate to form a special type of hydrophobic domains, which act as the essential functional components of some proteins. L-leucine is used as a supplement primarily.
L-leucine can be used in amino acid injection, combined amino acid , blood sugar reducer, and plant growth enhancer. L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and l-valine are all widely used in support supplements, functional food, and dietary supplements.
L-leucine can also be used as a flavoring agent.
Package and Storage
Chengzhi L-Leucine is packaged in individually sealed double polyethelene and foil bags within a cardboard drum (
