About the Product
Leucine (symbol Leu or L) is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Leucine is an α-amino acid, meaning it contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain isobutyl group, making it a non-polar aliphatic amino acid. L-Leucine is a vital component in animal nutrition, supporting growth, health, and performance in various species. For L-Leucine to be effective in ruminants (like cows), it needs protection against degradation in the rumen.
