These L-leucine capsules from Swanson contain 500 mg of AjiPure per capsule, a pharmaceutical grade raw material. Leucine is an essential amino acid from the BCAA family: your body cannot make it, so you get it from protein foods such as meat, eggs, fish, lentils and almonds. This pack of 60 vegan capsules lets you supplement it with a precise dose, with no powder to weigh and no flavour to mask. It contains a single amino acid, so it is easy to fit alongside your protein powder or a BCAA blend.
It has one active ingredient, a declared 500 mg dose per capsule and an AjiPure pharmaceutical grade raw material. With 60 vegan capsules per pack and a straightforward formula, it is a clear choice if you want a single amino acid instead of a blend to decode.
The label directs one capsule twice a day with water, equal to 1,000 mg of L-leucine per day. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose, and remember that a supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. It suits people who train regularly, people on a plant-based diet who want to control individual amino acids, and anyone already using protein or BCAAs who prefers to dose leucine separately. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, ask your doctor first.
