L Leucine

Postby Scott » Wed Nov 10, 2010 11:52 pm

experimenting a bit with L Leucine. using between 15-20g per day added to meals containing protein. ie I wont be adding it to a bowl of porridge. Been reading a fair bit about it and its ability to increase protein synthesis. Although the other 2 bcaas will need to be present but thats why Im only using it with protein meals.
Just interested to find out if a Leucine powder alone opposed to a bcaa powder will be as effective as its supposed to be.

IIRC Vince Gironda was a big advocate of eating lamb because it contained lots of L Leucine :-k
