Usage

Description

(2S,3S)-3-Amino-2-hydroxy-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)propanoic acid, also known as L-Leucic acid, is a derivative of the amino acid leucine. It is a white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C10H13F3NO3 and a molecular weight of 247.21 g/mol. L-Leucic acid has a bitter taste and is often used as a dietary supplement in the fitness and bodybuilding industry.

Uses

Used in Fitness and Bodybuilding Industry:
L-Leucic acid is used as a dietary supplement for its potential anabolic effects on muscle protein synthesis. It is believed to activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, which may promote muscle growth and enhance athletic performance. Additionally, L-Leucic acid supports overall physical fitness.
Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of action and potential benefits of L-Leucic acid in promoting muscle growth and enhancing athletic performance.
