What is Leucine?

Relax, we are not feeding you any chemicals or herbs that will be recalled by the health department.

Leucine is a naturally occurring essential Amino Acid, from the B vitamin family.
As an essential amino acid, leucine is not in humans or animals (we cannot produce it in our bodies), therefore it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. It is synthesized in plants and microorganisms via several steps starting from pyruvic acid.

Major food sources of leucine include whole grains, milk products, eggs (~1 g/100g), pork, beef, chicken, pulses (such as soybeans (~3 g/100g), chick peas and lentils) and leaf vegetables.

The Kosher Diet Plan has added leucine in the Protein shakes and the boost tablets which is essential for keeping your muscle while rapidly losing fat. The inch loss is almost immediate and you cannot miss that ‘full feeling’ after a satisfying protein shake.
