Professional Grade Supplements
Leucine is likely the best single ingredient supplement on the market to build hard, lean, dense muscle, fast! Leucine is an Essential Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) that is known throughout bodybuilding as the ultimate muscle-builder. It's considered essential because your body cannot produce it, so it must be supplied by your diet. Leucine activates an anabolic pathway called the mTOR which stimulates muscle protein synthesis. By increasing Leucine consumption the mTOR pathway is activated and protein synthesis is increased. Simply stated, Leucine is essential for achieving a positive nitrogen balance and building lean muscle mass.
