Description
Leucine, like the other two BCAAs, improves muscle building and exercise performance. It also aids in weight loss and can reduce fatigue and muscle soreness after exercise. In addition, leucine is the main BCAA that increases the body’s ability to produce muscle proteins. Leucine is obtained as a result of the synthesis of the most popular proteins.
