Product Overview & Features

Core branched chain amino acids to support muscle protein synthesis and exercise recovery

L-leucine, also known as leucine, is one of the eight essential amino acids for the human body and is a branched-chain amino acid. The human body cannot synthesize it by itself and must be ingested from external sources. Leucine is an important amino acid involved in regulating protein metabolism in skeletal muscle development. It has the effect of promoting the development of skeletal muscle tissue and preventing excessive protein degradation. It is recognized as the most effective stimulator of protein synthesis. As a food nutritional fortifier, L-leucine can be used in infant formula, sports nutritional supplements and health foods. It is also used as a flavoring and flavoring agent in the food industry to improve the flavor of food.

Product Applications

Sports Nutrition and Muscle Synthesis

As an important substrate for skeletal muscle protein synthesis, it activates the mTOR signaling pathway, promotes muscle tissue repair and growth, reduces muscle breakdown caused by exercise, and improves exercise performance.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Participates in the regulation of energy metabolism in the liver and adipose tissue, helps maintain blood sugar stability, and provides continuous energy support for high-intensity exercise.

Wound Repair and Immune Support

Provide a key nitrogen source for post-surgical and critically ill patients, accelerate wound healing and tissue repair, improve negative nitrogen balance, and enhance the body's immune function.

Medicine and Nutritional Supplements

It is used to prepare compound amino acid injections and auxiliary treatment drugs for liver diseases. It is the core ingredient in parenteral nutrition and formula foods for special medical purposes. It is a nutritional fortifier that is recognized as safe.
