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 myotropic reactions. BCAA's are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver.

View All 9 Reviews For L-Leucine (1 kilo) L-Leucine Mixing Problems By: CaseyReview 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 Excellent - Timing is everything By: NickReview posted on: Wed May 05 04:36:28 -0400 2010 Right after workout = L-Leucine, B-6 and Glutamine. 30 min. After Waxy Maize Beta Alanine CEE Whey Have had very good results! Mixing is kind of challenging. I put the mixture in a cup with about two inches of water. I mix it with a fork and take the pretend it is a shot! I then add more water and swirl it around to pick up the leftover all over the inside of the cup. Mixing issues By: LeonardReview posted on: Sun Feb 21 04:16:59 -0500 2010 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. Solid By: AndrewReview posted on: Tue Jun 16 00:36:50 -0400 2009 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. Great buy. By: JacobReview posted on: Tue Apr 29 12:30:28 -0400 2008 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. |
