Leucine Benefits

Benefits And Uses For Leucine:

Essential amino acid must be obtained from diet to meet the needs of the body.  Leucine is needed for almost all bodily functions.  It aids in healing from infection, stress or injury.  It can be used to aid glucose intolerance, and may help with muscle formation.  

Deficiency Symptoms Of Leucine:

Due to it's availability in protein rich foods, a balanced diet should prevent any deficiency.  Protein-amino acid deficiencies can lead to malnutrition, muscle breakdown, confusion, allergies, depression, diabetes, infection and schizophrenia.

Toxicity (Overdose) Symptoms Of Leucine:

Leucine aggravates a rare genetic condition called Maple Syrup Urine Disease. 

Foods High In Leucine:

Cottage cheese, seafood, meats, poultry, peanuts, sesame seeds, lentils.

Supplements Of Leucine:

The recommended amount of 60-100 mg per day is easily obtained from a balanced diet.  

Health And Fitness For Life:

People looking for nutrient information usually want to avoid health problems, get the most out of life and the most life they can.  Not just physical existence, but mental and spiritual.  If you have more than body or looks in your health and fitness goals, you can find it spiritually through God.  He can heal the stuff your diet doesn't control and bring real health and fitness to your life.  If you want His help, go to Healing From God
