Zec+ Leucin Professional 270 g - 30 Sevings

This supplement contains the amino acid L-Leucine in highly purified form and its two derivatives HICA (alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid) and HMB (calcium-beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate). The best prerequisite for success in weight training and bodybuilding. Pure leucine powder contains no unnecessary ingredients.

Leucine instantized as powder

The ZEC+ BCAA Professional powder contains an instantized version of L-leucine . Although BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) also include the two compounds L-isoleucine and L-valine, this supplement contains only the amino acid L-leucine in its highly purified form, along with its two derivatives HICA (alpha-hydroxyisocaproic acid) and HMB (ca-beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid). The powder is THE protein synthesis activator and therefore a must-have in any sports nutrition program. Anyone looking to effectively promote muscle growth and maintain muscle mass is well-equipped with the ZEC+ BCAA Professional Leucine powder . Per serving, this product provides 5000 mg of L-leucine, 1000 mg of HMB, and 750 mg of HICA – the ideal prerequisite for success in strength training, bodybuilding, and more! The easily soluble powder with leucine, HMB, and HICA is available in both flavorless and cola flavors and is shaken with 300 ml of water in a shaker or mixing cup to create an effective shake.

Leucine powder as a BCAA supplement

Why are the two BCAAs L-Isoleucine and L-Valine missing from this amino acid supplement? ZEC+ Leucine Powder is a product that bucks the trend toward drastically increasing the ratio of the three amino acids in favor of L-Leucine . In recent years, it has become increasingly common to bring BCAA products with completely new ratios to market. The typical ratio of the three amino acids until then was 2:1:1 (Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine). However, numerous studies have confirmed that only L-Leucine is truly beneficial for strength athletes , which is why supplement manufacturers have given this essential, proteinogenic amino acid a greater role in their powders. BCAA supplements with a ratio of 4:1:1, then 6:1:1, and even 10:1:1 have come onto the market. We've also seen products with a ratio of 12:1:1. So why is ZEC+ launching a pure leucine powder?

Effect of L-Leucine in sports

The vital, essential amino acid leucine, which the body cannot produce itself and therefore must be supplied through food or a dietary supplement , is ultimately responsible for triggering muscle protein synthesis. A rapid accumulation of these amino acids in the bloodstream causes the body to become anabolic, allowing protein synthesis to begin – provided that sufficient building blocks in the form of protein are available. Many manufacturers, true to the motto "more is better," therefore thought that L-leucine should be included in a higher ratio. However, the two BCAAs L-isoleucine and L-valine are then rather unnecessary, as they are only burned for energy purposes and simply fizzle out.

However, pure leucine powder contains no unnecessary, ineffective ingredients that can't deliver their full potential. With HMB and HICA, both derivatives of L-leucine, as well as the essential amino acid in its highly pure form, we at ZEC+ Nutrition have brought a powder with extremely potent properties to market, optimally supporting muscle protein synthesis and muscle maintenance.
