Leucine the Anabolic, Fat Burning Amino Acid
Leucine is a potent amino acid that has been shown in research to have significant anabolic and anti catabolic properties. It helps build muscle and now a new study reveals leucine may be a potent metabolic enhancer as well. This means it may also help burn bodyfat.
Mice fed a high fat diet who where given twice their normal dietary intake of leucine decreased their body fat by 25%. They also decreased total cholesterol and decreased the bad LDL cholesterol.
There is a growing body of research supporting leucine’s positive impact on enhancing performance and muscle growth. Now more research such as this is revealing L-Leucine’s impacting metabolic effects. The bottom line is that this amino can help burn fat and build muscle.
