Leucine is an essential amino acid required to support muscle synthesis when protein is ingested.

A specific leucine threshold needs to be met to achieve this and is especially important as  as we age (and muscle mass and metabolic adaptability decline).

The human body needs to register the following amounts of leucine to support muscle synthesis after a meal:

  • 2.5-3.0g (18-35 years)
  • 3.0-4.0g (35 years+)

Adding 2-4 g (1-2 tsp) of free-form supplemental leucine to low-leucine meals (i.e. vegan meals and lower protein meals) will help support muscle health.

Health Benefits:

  • Supports muscle maintenance 
  • Supports metabolic health
  • Essential amino acid

Dosage (Adults)

4 g (2 metric tsp) per day.

Doses per container: 30

Directions

2 metric tsp per day in water or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Caution

Take as directed. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing - seek advice from a healthcare professional before consuming.
