Leucine and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Leucine is one of the nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, meaning it must be obtained through diet. It plays a critical role in protein synthesis and muscle repair, making it particularly important for athletes and individuals engaged in regular physical activity. Leucine is found in high concentrations in animal products such as meat, fish, and dairy, as well as in plant sources like soy and legumes.
