Description

1.Product Introduction

L-leucine Amino acid, chemical name is L-2-amino-4-methylvaleric acid, white crystal or crystalline powder; odorless, slightly bitter taste. Soluble in formic acid, slightly soluble in water, very slightly soluble in ethanol or ether. The density is 1.038g/cm3, the melting point is greater than 300ºC, and the boiling point is 217.7ºC at 760 mmHg.

Leucine‵s actions include working with isoleucine and valine to repair muscle, control blood sugar, and provide energy to body tissues.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are all branched-chain amino acids that help promote muscle recovery after training. Among them, leucine is the most effective branched-chain amino acid, which can effectively prevent muscle loss because it can be broken down into glucose more quickly.

Leucine is one of three essential amino acids that increase muscle mass and aid muscle recovery after a workout. It also regulates blood sugar and supports energy supply to the body. These features make it useful when the body is stressed. Leucine is used clinically to help the body recover and can also affect brain function.

3.Function

●Building proteins

Unlike other amino acids, the body cannot produce essential amino acids and can only obtain them from food or supplements. Leucine, along with isoleucine and valine, are essential amino acids needed to build muscle, and they are also called branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine is the fourth most abundant amino acid in muscle. And together with other branched-chain amino acids make up about one-third of muscle protein. BCAAs fuel muscle metabolism and protect muscles from stress damage by stimulating protein synthesis, increasing amino acid reuse and reducing protein breakdown under stress.

●Regulate blood sugar

The body uses glucose for energy. Many amino acids produce glucose, but leucine is the only amino acid that can replace glucose during fasting. Increasing glucose prevents the body from using muscles as an energy source during high-intensity exercise. Leucine regulates blood sugar better than isoleucine and valine because they are converted to glucose more slowly.

●Build muscle

Leucine stimulates insulin release. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that is needed to enable key nutrients such as glucose, amino acids and creatine to enter muscle cells. Insulin stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein breakdown. BCAAs are the main fuel in anabolic reactions, so they provide bodybuilders, weightlifters and other athletes with a more reliable and safer alternative to steroids. During training, they enhance muscle protein metabolism, reduce exercise-induced protein degradation, and support muscle oxidative metabolism during intense exercise.

●Medical applications

Stressful states reduce BCAA levels. Surgery, trauma, cirrhosis, infection, fever, starvation, and malnutrition all stress the body to break down protein faster. BCAA supplements can prevent or reverse this effect. Intravenous solutions containing branched-chain amino acids can help trauma and surgical patients recover, and promote bone, skin, and muscle recovery. In diseases that affect muscle, branched-chain amino acids can be used to reduce weight loss. The latest report also claims that leucine supplements can prevent the muscle loss that accompanies the aging process. Additionally, astronauts use them to help defend against the physical effects of space travel.

●Brain function

BCAAs are components of neuropeptides, which are biochemical messengers from the brain to body cells and, like endorphins and enkephalins, are neurotransmitters that produce calming and pain-relieving effects. But be aware that at least one study found that people with depression had particularly high levels of leucine. In addition, the benefits of BCAA supplements include treating, or even reversing, hepatic encephalopathy, a type of brain disease associated with alcoholism, severe liver disease, or spleen disease.

4.Application

Leucine, an amino acid found in many proteins, is thought to be necessary for the absorption of many different nutrients. Leucine is available in nutritional supplement form and is popular among athletes. In addition, the use of leucine also includes as a food additive to enhance the taste of food.

The human body produces leucine through a process of hydrolysis and is involved in all food proteins consumed. This acid is used in muscle tissue, liver and adipose tissue. In muscle and adipose tissue, leucine is a component required for the formation of sterols.
