Molecular Weight: 131.17 g/mol
Appearance: White crystalline powder
Purity: ≥ 99%
Melting Point: 293 - 295 °C
Solubility: Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in hot water and dilute acid or alkali solutions.
1. **Protein Synthesis**: L - leucine plays a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis. It activates a key signaling pathway called mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), which stimulates the production of new muscle proteins. This is especially important for athletes, bodybuilders, and those recovering from injuries, as it helps in muscle repair and growth.
2. **Energy Source**: During intense physical activity, L - leucine can be used as an energy source by the body. It can be broken down in the muscles to provide energy, helping to delay fatigue and improve exercise performance.
3. **Blood Sugar Regulation**: Some studies suggest that L - leucine may have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. It can enhance insulin sensitivity, which helps the body better regulate blood glucose and may be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or at risk of developing diabetes.
4. **Cosmetics**: In the cosmetic industry, L - leucine is used in skin - care products. It can help improve the moisture content of the skin, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
1. **Dietary Supplements**: For general health and muscle support, the recommended daily intake of L - leucine is around 2 - 5 grams. It can be taken in capsule or powder form. If using powder, it can be mixed with water, juice, or a protein shake. It is best to take it before or after exercise for optimal muscle - building effects.
2. **Food Industry**: In the food industry, L - leucine can be used as a nutritional fortifier. It can be added to sports drinks, protein bars, and infant formulas to increase the nutritional value.
3. **Cosmetic Applications**: In skin - care products, L - leucine is usually incorporated into creams, lotions, and serums. The concentration may vary depending on the specific product, but generally, it is in the range of 0.5 - 2%.
1. **Athlete Case**: A professional bodybuilder, John, was having difficulty increasing his muscle mass despite a rigorous training regime. He started taking 5 grams of our L - leucine supplement before and after his workouts. After 3 months, he noticed a significant increase in muscle strength and size. His bench press increased by 20 kg, and his overall body fat percentage decreased. The mTOR activation by L - leucine helped him to build more muscle and recover faster from intense workouts.
2. **Diabetes Patient Case**: Mrs. Smith, a 65 - year - old diabetic patient, was struggling with blood sugar control. Her doctor recommended adding a small amount of L - leucine to her diet. She started taking 2 grams of L - leucine per day in her morning smoothie. After 2 months, her blood glucose levels became more stable, and she was able to reduce her insulin dosage slightly. The improved insulin sensitivity due to L - leucine contributed to better blood sugar regulation.
3. **Skin - care Case**: A beauty brand incorporated 1% L - leucine into their new anti - aging serum. After a 3 - month trial with 50 volunteers, 80% of them reported an improvement in skin texture, reduced dryness, and a decrease in the appearance of fine lines. The L - leucine in the serum helped to keep the skin hydrated and elastic.
