4+ NUTRITION - LEUCINE + Food supplement of Leucine
Essential, branched amino acid, present in the muscles of all animals (ie fish and meat) and in milk.
It plays a stimulating role in protein synthesis and in contrasting proteolysis, of particular interest is the fact that it is a precursor of HMB. Several studies, even very dated, showed a decrease in markers of muscle damage (CPK; LDH) for both endurance and strength sports. It has not been long since Leucine was identified as the true active substance of the BCAA, it is very likely that almost everything that results on the branched amino acids can be attributed to Leucine, except for the potential energetic role (expressed by Isoleucine and Valine: glucogenetic amino acids) . Its promoter effect on proteosynthesis is expressed in the stimulation of mTOR (central modulator in the cascade that leads to protein synthesis). Its assumption on the occasion of intense exercise determines its fixation on a muscular level, but as the metabolism induced by rest changes, this amino acid has the liver as its preferred site.
+ HOW TO USE: 3.5 g of powder (1 level scoop) dissolved in 150-200 ml of water.
+ NET QUANTITY: 350 grams
