Leucine amino acid

Leucine

— one of the essential amino acids that make up the BCAA complex (see the relevant paragraph); in addition, it is one of the key components of whey protein. However, it can also be used on its own. Leucine promotes muscle growth and at the same time stimulates the processing of fat, and also slows down the absorption of fat from food. Thus, such a supplement is especially useful for those who are trying to get rid of body fat.
