L-Leucine
L-Leucine is the essential amino acid most responsible for muscle protein synthesis. Consuming ample L-leucine during workouts stimulates and fuels optimal muscle gains. It also combats muscle oxidation (burning) from intense exercise.*

L-leucine is an amino acid that's the most potent activator of muscle protein synthesis.
When cells "sense" the presence of leucine, it signals them to increase the production/release of the master regulator of protein synthesis (mTOR).
As we get older, we get partially "resistant" to leucine. Accordingly, older adults need twice as much supplemental leucine as their younger counterparts to approximate similar levels of muscle-protein synthesis (MPS).
However, older and younger adults have exhibited increased MPS when given supplemental leucine, especially when taking less-than-optimal dietary amounts of protein.
Leucine also regulates blood sugar, increases growth hormone (GH), improves recovery, and increases glycogen stores in muscle after exercise-induced damage.
