Your body can’t produce these on its own, which makes them essential to get through food or supplementation. Together, they support muscle growth, repair, hormone regulation, immunity, and more.
1. L-Leucine
• Stimulates muscle protein synthesis via the mTOR pathway – the key to building lean muscle mass.
• Helps prevent muscle breakdown during training.
Reference: Nair KS, et al., J Clin Invest, 1992
2. L-Lysine HCL
• Crucial for collagen formation and skin health.
• Supports calcium absorption and immune function.
Reference: Civitelli R, et al., J Clin Invest, 1992
3. L-Isoleucine
• Enhances endurance and energy during workouts.
• Supports hemoglobin production and stabilises blood sugar.
Reference: Shimomura Y, et al., J Nutr, 2004
4. L-Valine
• Supports muscle metabolism and tissue repair.
• Acts as a fuel source for muscles during exercise.
Reference: Brosnan JT, Brosnan ME, J Nutr, 2006
5. L-Threonine
• Essential for immune function and gut lining repair.
• Supports collagen and elastin synthesis for skin and connective tissues.
Reference: Maenz DD, Environ Health Perspect, 2001
6. L-Phenylalanine
• Precursor to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine—mood and focus-enhancing neurotransmitters.
Reference: Fernstrom JD, J Nutr, 1994
7. L-Methionine
