l-Leucine
Is it one of the most important amino acids out there, and keeps you from becoming Catabolic, and in an Anabolic stage?

Has anyone done any research on Leucine before and can verify benfits/serving size/ supplements that contain it/supportive studies?

Leucine is one of the amino acids in branched-chain amino acid supplements, a.k.a BCAA

If you google it, you'll find a plethora of information. There's a lot of positive research regarding supplementing with BCAAs pre and post workout.

Leucine alone is getting far better study results than when combined within the BCAA's.

Really? I'd love to see some comparison studies; that would be interesting.

the only study i have read about so far was a study done with rats...basically it was concluded that Very high concentrations of leucine have the capacity to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit protein degradation in skeletal muscle
