Leucine can be used as a nutritional supplement and flavoring flavoring agent. It can prepare amino acid infusion and comprehensive amino acid preparation, hypoglycemic agent and plant growth promoter.
The role of leucine involves working with isoleucine and proline to repair muscles, control blood sugar, and provide energy to body tissues. It also increases the production of growth hormone and helps burn visceral fats, which are difficult to use on diets and exercise because they are inside the body.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine are branched-chain amino acids that help promote muscle recovery after training. Among them, leucine is the most effective kind of branched chain amino acid, which can effectively prevent muscle loss because it can be converted into glucose faster. Adding glucose can prevent muscle tissue damage, so it is especially suitable for bodybuilders. Leucine also promotes the healing of bones, skin, and damaged muscle tissue. Doctors usually recommend leucine supplementation after surgery.
Since it is easily converted to glucose, leucine helps regulate blood sugar levels. People with a lack of leucine will develop symptoms similar to hypoglycemia, such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, depression, confusion, and irritability.
The best food sources for leucine include brown rice, beans, meat, nuts, soy flour, and whole wheat.
