Leucine Supps...

Should I be taking a Leucine supplement to help my body break down my protein intake better?

BCAAs help with recovery. If it's in your budget, take them.

Most BCAA powders are 2:1:1 Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine. Properly taking BCAA's before and during your workout should be sufficient.

T-nation has lots of good articles discussing BCAA's, Leucine in particular.
