Leucine and Muscle Growth
Leucine plays a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis, with research showing that its presence can match the effects of whey protein. For those on a plant-based diet, options like isolated protein sources and leucine supplementation can help achieve sufficient levels for muscle growth. Interestingly, corn protein is highlighted as a strong source of leucine when isolated, and blending it with other proteins can create a well-rounded amino acid profile. Many plant-based athletes are successfully building muscle, showcasing the potential of these dietary strategies.In this clip
