Leucine – The Amino Acid for Muscle
If your goal is to maintain your health and weight for the long term, you are going to need this…
Leucine. It’s an amino acid.
Here’s why it is so important: We start to lose muscle as we age, starting around the age of 30. Muscle is really important for burning calories, keeping blood sugar in check and maintaining a healthy metabolism. Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis (muscle building).
How much leucine do you need? You need 2.5 grams of Leucine (an amino acid) to stimulate muscle growth over the age of 40 as part of 30 grams of protein. Research says it’s best to get 30 grams of high-quality protein, with leucine, 3 times per day, spread out.
Good news! You don’t need an extra supplement. UNJURY® Protein powder gives you 3 grams of leucine per 30 grams of protein. 30 grams of protein from chicken, fish, eggs, beef (just over 4 ounces, cooked weight) will get you 2.5 grams also.
