The building blocks of life! Amino acids are tiny organic compounds that team up to form proteins, critical for muscle growth, maintenance, and repair. Without an adequate supply of amino acids, your body will use existing muscle tissue as fuel to support daily activities and workouts which results in muscle breakdown and the loss of muscle mass. Essential Amino Acids are only obtained through food and supplementation while non-essential amino acids are produced naturally by the body.

L-Leucine is an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. It is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) along with L-Isoleucine and L-Valine and is considered the most important of the three when it comes to muscle growth and repair.  ​​​​​​

Not all protein is created equal, and some - like whey protein - are better than others. Whey protein contains an incredible range of essential amino acids, which are quickly absorbed. Studies have shown that whey protein can help you increase strength and gain muscle. ​​​​​​​
