Leucine

• Leucine is the most anabolic BCAA, meaning it directly triggers muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
• Activates mTOR, the key pathway responsible for muscle growth and repair.
• Helps athletes build and maintain lean muscle, especially when paired with strength training.

✅ Best for athletes looking to build muscle, recover faster, and gain strength.

• Leucine helps preserve muscle during intense training or calorie deficits.
• Essential for athletes in high-intensity sports or those needing to maintain muscle while training hard.

✅ Great for athletes during heavy training cycles or when cutting weight.

• Speeds up muscle repair after workouts by promoting protein synthesis.
• Reduces muscle soreness (DOMS), helping athletes train harder and more frequently.

✅ Useful for athletes needing quick recovery between sessions (sprinting, soccer, gymnastics).

• Helps improve strength gains, especially when combined with resistance training.
• Supports explosive movements like sprinting, jumping, and weightlifting.

✅ Beneficial for power-based sports like sprinting, soccer, and gymnastics.

• During long or intense workouts, leucine helps prevent muscle fatigue by providing an additional energy source.
• Helps sustain performance in high-intensity sports like soccer and sprinting.

✅ Good for endurance athletes who need prolonged energy and muscle preservation.

✅ Athletes in strength, power, and endurance sports (sprinting, soccer, gymnastics).
✅ Athletes looking to increase muscle growth and recovery.
✅ Those cutting weight but wanting to maintain muscle.
✅ Anyone doing high-volume training needing muscle recovery and energy.

• Recommended dose: 2–5g per serving, up to 10g per day.
• Best timing:
  • Pre- or post-workout for muscle growth and recovery.
  • Between meals to sustain protein synthesis.
• Works best when combined with other BCAAs (isoleucine & valine) and protein sources.
