Do you mean bulk Leucine specifically? Or BCAA's? I haven't taken bulk leucine in awhile, because the taste is real nasty, but I do take BCAA's that are incredibly high in the leucine ratio. USPLabs Modern BCAA's have a 8/1/1 ratio, 8g of leucine to 1gram of L-valine and isoleucine. The taste is pretty decent for powder aminos. Orbit Nutrition - Buy USP Labs Modern BCAA For Cheap.

I use to use the bulk but hard to find around my area. I normally go for the combo of the 3 like Scivation's Xtend off Orbitnutrition.com

As some reading this may not know, research indicates that Leucine is an anabolic trigger. Leucine promotes muscle recovery and growth.

Thus, the intersting in Luecine.

I add some Leucine to my pre, peri and post workout whey/caseinate/maltodextrin/dextrose drink.

All you really need is 10g of it PWO with dextrose. You can use creatine and glutamine peptides as well to really help the recovery.

The easiest way to take it is with some of the sugar free drink mix single packs. Put everything in the Magic Bullet and you can't taste anything.

It appears that when you add leucine to a whey and dextrose/maltodextrin beverage it is more effective.

noone said which brand uses
dafaq..

If you're talking about taking Leucine on it's own, i would reconsider it. You need the other two BCAAs to properly utilize Leucine.

I love AllMax Nutrition's BCAA product. Each serving is over 8g of BCAA's. I then buy a cheap bulk Leucine powder & add it to my BCAA drink.

I like high leucine content BCAA formulas like Inner Armour's, with 6 grams leucine per serving.
