L- isoleucine

Product Description

PhysicalFunctions

Isoleucine can work together with leucine and valine to repair muscles, control blood sugar, and provide energy for the body. It can also stimulate growth hormone production andboost burning of visceral fat, which is deeply located inside the body and is therefore hardly affected by ordinary exercise or diet.

Along with valine and leucine, isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid, which can facilitate post-exercise muscle recovery.

As an essential amino acid, isoleucine is not synthesized in animals; hence it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. People, who undertake high intensity physical activity and who are on a low-protein diet, should consider taking isoleucine supplements either on its own or with leucine and valine, which is better. It is therefore more convenient to choose the combinational supplements.

◆Application and Dosage

L-isoleucine is an essential amino acid. Like leucine and valine, it has relatively long aliphatic side chains. These residues often aggregate to form a special type of hydrophobic domains, which act as the essential functional components of some proteins. L-isoleucine is used as a supplement primarily.

L-isoleucine, L-leucine, and L-valine are all widely used in sport supplements, functional food, and dietary supplements.
