L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, specifically classified as a "branched-chain amino acid" (BCAA). BCAAs, especially leucine, stimulate muscle protein synthesis and may be the major fuel involved in anabolic reactions. BCAA's are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver.

L-Leucine Mixing Problems By: Casey

Review posted on: Sat Oct 25 15:29:47 -0400 2008

The reason people have mixing problems is because L-Leucine is a very hydrophobic molecule. Because there is no polar atoms in the amino acid side chain of Leucine, this makes interactions with water in aqueous solution impossible. It has nothing to do with the quality, if anything it really points to purity. It shouldn't mix, and you should be suspicious if it does. COO- | +H3N-C-H | CH2 | CH / \ CH3 CH3

Mixing issues By: Leonard

A teaspoon of citruline malate will completely dissolve leucine (or BCAA's) in water. Add some low carb drink mix unless you like the taste of super sour unsweetened drinks. Most anything that changes the ph of the water should work ok.

This is a very very solid product at a very good price. Definitely helps with soreness especially on leg days. Very tough to mix without blending though but it sounds like others have this problem. Casey is right...the reason this won't mix well in water is because water is a polar molecule and leucine is nonpolar and because like dissolves like they do not mix. This proves that NP is legit and that this is pure leucine.

Good price from a quality company what more could you ask for? I had no mixing problems that I did not have with any other bulk Leucine, so no complaints there.

Cheaper than BCAA's or EAA's and in my opinion more useful. Like many others have said, it is very hard to get it to mix, which is why I just keep the powder in a container, toss it in my mouth, swish it with water and swallow. Works well and doesn't ruin the taste of any other shake/drink!
