Aminoacid Leucine

Quamtrax leucine 3000 is a product that contains the essential amino acid leucine, which is included in protein biosynthesis. Since our body can not only be synthesized, it is necessary to enter it with food. Most leucine contains high-protein foods such as meat, dairy products, soybeans, beans, legumes.

The leucine belongs to the branched side chain (BCAA) amino acids and has the unique ability to stimulate the growth of skeletal muscles, as it has a 10-fold greater effect on the synthesis of muscle proteins than any other amino acid. The specificity of leucine compared to the other two amino acids with branched side chain lies in the activation of the mTOR system. Increased concentrations of leucine signal to mTOR that enough substrates are available for the synthesis of new muscle proteins.

The use of levcin as a dietary supplement slows down the muscle breakdown by stimulating the synthesis of muscle proteins. Research has shown that for a positive protein balance after training, in addition to a large enough protein intake, a large leucine entry is also sufficient. Complementing the diet with leucine has many positive effects on the body, providing it with important building blocks for muscle proteins, activating key events in a complex process of protein synthesis, increasing body weight loss, improving body composition and preventing metabolic disorders such as increased glucose and cholesterol levels.
