Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does Leucine Do in the Body?<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-177348\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/30161356\/leucine-600-muscle-growth.jpg\" alt=\"Athlete Does Cable Rows | leucine\" width=\"601\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Leucine is one of three\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-are-bcaas-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">branched-chain amino acids<\/a>\u00a0(BCAAs), along with isoleucine and valine. They\u2019re so named because they all have the same branched structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOriginally it was thought that all three BCAAs play a direct role in muscle building,\u201d says Paul Falcone, principal scientist at BODi. \u201cBut research indicates that much of the effect of branched-chain amino acids is really driven by leucine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because leucine is key in the process of muscle protein synthesis, which enables <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/what-is-muscle-hypertrophy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">muscle hypertrophy<\/a> (growth).<\/p>\n<p>Leucine has the ability to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21773813\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">directly signal mTOR<\/a>, one of the major nutrient sensor molecules and master regulators in the body that\u2019s known for anabolic (growth) signaling. This helps make muscles absorb protein, which is key for their preservation and growth.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, leucine is both a building block at a construction site and the contractor directing the process, Falcone says. Because it plays this dual role, it\u2019s the most important amino acid for muscle building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeucine\u2019s ability to drive muscle protein synthesis through mTOR is very useful, especially post-workout,\u201d says Falcone. \u201cIt stimulates the rebuilding process to help your muscles grow back bigger and stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of Taking Leucine?<\/h2>\n<p>Leucine is an\u00a0essential amino acid\u00a0\u2014 our bodies can\u2019t produce it, so it needs to come from our diet.<\/p>\n<p>Leucine can be found in many foods, including meat, dairy, seeds, and beans. You can also boost your intake of leucine through supplementation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/recover-post-workout-protein-powder?ICID=BLOG_RECOVER&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Recover<\/a>\u00a0provides BCAAs \u2014 including leucine \u2014 to help support muscle growth and recovery.*<\/p>\n<p>Here are two potential benefits of adding leucine to your diet.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Muscle mass and strength<\/h3>\n<p>Leucine helps to stimulate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24284442\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">muscle protein synthesis<\/a>\u00a0and may also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/Leucine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">help prevent the breakdown<\/a>\u00a0of muscle proteins after intense exercise or severe stress.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28175999\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research suggests<\/a> taking a protein supplement that contains leucine may also help to guard against the loss of muscle mass that often occurs as part of the aging process.*<\/p>\n<h3>2. Skin and bone health<\/h3>\n<p>Research suggests leucine may have a positive effect on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6667387\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skin health<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4832262\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bone health<\/a>. Just as leucine enables protein synthesis to muscle, it also helps to enable\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/Leucine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growth and repair<\/a>\u00a0of skin and bones.*<\/p>\n<h2>What Foods Are High in Leucine?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-177830\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/21111819\/leucine-600-foods.jpg\" alt=\"protein foods | leucine\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Because leucine isn\u2019t produced by the body, we need to consume it through food or supplements. Generally, animal-based proteins have the highest amounts of leucine.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/?component=1213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDA FoodData Central<\/a>, some of the foods that contain the most leucine per serving include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicken<\/li>\n<li>Beef<\/li>\n<li>Pork<\/li>\n<li>Tuna<\/li>\n<li>Milk<\/li>\n<li>Cheese<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For most adults, the current recommended daily intake (RDI) for leucine is 17.7 mg per pound of body weight. That means a 180-pound person should consume about 3,186 mg of leucine each day.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re highly active, you might need more protein \u2014 and therefore leucine \u2014 to realize your fitness goals, especially if you\u2019re looking to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/tips-for-building-muscle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">put on muscle mass<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Should You Take Leucine?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169232\" src=\"https:\/\/bod-blog-assets.prod.cd.beachbodyondemand.com\/bod-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/19120404\/when-is-the-best-time-to-drink-a-protein-shake-600-recover.png\" alt=\"Chocolate Whey Recover | When Is the Best Time to Drink a Protein Shake\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best not to think of leucine as a separate supplement to add to your routine \u2014 like, say,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beachbodyondemand.com\/blog\/beta-alanine-and-muscular-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beta-alanine<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 but rather as an indicator of protein quality, Falcone says. A quality protein supplement will provide the right amount of leucine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe amount of leucine that you have in protein is important,\u201d Falcone says. \u201cBut leucine is not going to be effective on its own. It\u2019s effective in the right amount, as a part of an essential amino acid blend or protein supplement. The leucine content of your protein is a major driver of its effect on muscle building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-017-0177-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2017 position stand<\/a>\u00a0by the International Society of Sports Nutrition, your protein supplement should contain 700 to 3,000 mg of leucine per serving, in addition to a balanced array of essential amino acids.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodi.com\/us\/en\/pn\/recover-post-workout-protein-powder?ICID=BLOG_RECOVER&amp;refsource=Blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beachbody Performance Recover<\/a> is carefully formulated to contain the optimal balance of ingredients \u2014 such as leucine \u2014 to help you build muscle and power through your workouts, and to recover faster.*<\/p>\n<p><em>*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
