L-levcin - 250 gramski prah

L-Leucine is an essential branched-chain amino acid found in foods like eggs, cheese, legumes, lean meat, or seeds, and it helps build proteins and muscles in our bodies. Scientific studies show that leucine promotes muscle growth, especially in older individuals, reduces inflammation, and stabilizes blood sugar levels. There is no official dosage, but the World Health Organization recommends that the average healthy adult takes at least 39 mg of leucine per kilogram of body weight per day. The usual taken dose is 5 grams per day. Leucine is generally regarded as safe, but taking very high doses can result in gastrointestinal troubles, low blood sugar, and temporarily elevated ammonia levels in the blood.

1. A 2022 study showed that when healthy elderly individuals took leucine-rich supplements for 12 weeks and combined them with resistance exercise, they had a more significant increase in muscle mass and lean body weight, than with exercise alone.
2. In a 2021 study, 21 participants with cerebral palsy took either placebo or 192 mg/kg body mass of leucine powder, dissolved in water, for 10 weeks. After that period, the participants who took leucine supplements had a significant increase in strength and muscle volume, and a decrease in inflammation (CRP protein levels).
3. A 2014 study showed that leucine has the potential to lower blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation.
