ALLMAX LEUCINE POWDER could be hailed as one of the most potent natural muscle building supplements known to man. ALLMAX brings you the purest and most powerful single ingredient to build hard, lean, dense muscle – FAST! ![](https://i0.wp.com/zonenutrition.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allmax-leucine-powder-4.jpg?resize=881%2C545&ssl=1) ![](https://i0.wp.com/zonenutrition.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allmax-leucine-powder-5.jpg?resize=950%2C294&ssl=1) ![](https://i0.wp.com/zonenutrition.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allmax-leucine-powder-6.jpg?resize=983%2C304&ssl=1) **ACHIEVE A POSITIVE NITROGEN BALANCE & BUILD LEAN MUSCLE** LEUCINE activates an anabolic pathway called the mTOR pathway that stimulates muscle protein synthesis. By increasing consumption, the mTOR pathway is signalled and protein synthesis is increased. No single ingredient has the pure, unadulterated anabolic power that LEUCINE does. Simply stated, it is essential for achieving a positive nitrogen balance and building lean muscle mass. It has been shown that in order for protein balance to become positive post workout, dietary protein, specifically the amino acid leucine, must be consumed for optimal muscle growth. When this occurs on a large scale it is known as skeletal muscle hypertrophy (growth) and it is the process by which our muscles get bigger. **LEAN MUSCLE PRESERVATION** LEUCINE helps to preserve lean muscle tissue. It has been found to work with insulin to promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. It is also essential for post-workout recovery. In fact, one study found that adding 2.8 grams of it to a meal, whether it was high in protein or not, helped to increase muscle protein synthesis by approximately 60%! Another study found 4.4 grams and 8.3 grams of LEUCINE increased muscle protein synthesis by 50-70%! From this research, scientists suggest consuming approximately 3-4 grams of LEUCINE to effectively maximize muscle protein synthesis. It also helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. Research found that a positive LEUCINE balance indicates the body is in a state of protein anabolism and that a negative LEUCINE balance may suggest catabolism. Simply stated, it is essential for achieving a positive nitrogen balance and building lean muscle mass. **DIETING AND BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION** If you’re on a diet, it has been found to be especially helpful for its ability to spare protein degradation. When calories are restricted, the body uses LEUCINE as a source of gluconeogenesis. By supplementing with LEUCINE, blood glucose levels can be stabilized as it easily and readily converts to glucose. In fact, it has been found to convert to glucose at a much faster rate than the other BCAAs. It can also supply the body with an energy source during stress, which is essential during extreme dieting or after intense training. A study conducted on the different diet groups 30 minutes after resistance training found that the group who consumed a carbohydrate/protein plus a LEUCINE supplement experienced a reduction in protein degradation. This group also showed an increase in skeletal muscle protein synthesis, which was significantly greater than the study group who consumed just carbohydrates and protein. **A CONCENTRATED AMINO ACID** LEUCINE is one of the three branched chain amino acids (the other two being Isoleucine and Valine) and is extremely important. It is naturally found in nuts, brown rice, whole wheat, cottage cheese, chicken and fish. Unlike amino acids, which are metabolized in the liver, BCAAs are metabolized in the muscles and are integral for protein synthesis and for preserving lean muscle tissue. LEUCINE is one of the most concentrated amino acids within the skeletal muscle tissue. **LIMITING NUTRIENT** LEUCINE is so essential for the body that it is referred to as a limiting nutrient. The body absolutely requires LEUCINE in order to make use of all of the other amino acids. Without adequate amounts of LEUCINE, all other sources of protein can be deemed useless. In short, without it the body doesn’t function properly and will not make use of protein. **THE ALLMAX ADVANTAGE** Our pure, Pharmaceutical-Grade LEUCINE crystalline powder is a 100% Animal-Free source! Derived from a pure vegetable (corn), the complex fermentation process yields a clean, white crystalline powder. There are zero binders, excipients, additives or preservatives in our product. ALLMAX did not stop there; we’ve taken the highest-grade available and made it even better. In the final stage of production, the result is a coarse crystalline structure. We’ve taken the raw crystal material and microparticulated through a complex series of processes. The result – a perfect, ultra-fine white powder that has optimal absorption levels. **DIRECTIONS** LEUCINE is a natural supplement. It has been found to be safe even in large dosages. Consume one serving (5 g) twice per day. Take one serving immediately following a workout. On days that you don’t train, take one serving in the morning and the second in the evening. Pure LEUCINE by nature has a bit of a bitter taste and does not dissolve immediately in water. We recommend adding it to your protein shake, a flavored mix or juice. For best results, it is recommended that you mix it with a blender. **Supplement Facts** Serving Size: (approx. 1 rounded tsp.) 5 g Servings Per Container: 80
