Leucine Benefits

Leucine's benefits include:

Leucine is involved in the creation of human growth hormone
Leucine is involved in the production of human growth hormone (HGH), one of the hormones involved in the growth of cartilage, bone and muscle tissue, as well as the breakdown of triglycerides (fats) in the body.
Leucine helps repair muscles and other body tissues
Leucine is key in helping repair muscle tissue and ensuring its growth is regulated properly (through its role in the production of HGH), as well as helping to repair body tissues in general from any wounds. Leucine also assists in preventing muscle protein breakdown after any severe trauma to the body - it ensures the integrity of the muscles is kept intact.

Leucine could be beneficial for people with phenylketonuria
Several studies have found that people with phenylketonuria (a genetic inability to metabolise and process the essential amino acid phenylalanine) benefit from supplementation of leucine (together with isoleucine and valine). The supplementation regime helped to improve brain cognitive functions.
