Leucine
Leucine is one of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) – a group of essential amino acids owing their name to a branched molecular structure. BCAAs amount to around 35-40% of all essential amino acids in the human body. Leucine is obtained through the synthesis of most common proteins.

It also helps in weight loss and may reduce the feeling of fatigue and muscle soreness after physical activities. Moreover, Leucine is the main BCAAs to boost the human body’s ability to develop muscle proteins.
