LEUCINE-ENRICHED ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS MIXTURE MAY BOOST MUSCLE RECOVERY: AJINOMOTO STUDY
Supplementation with a leucine-enriched essential amino acid mixture during training may protect untrained men from muscle damage and boost muscle recovery, says a new study from Japan.
Eight days of supplementation with the leucine-enriched essential amino acid (LEAA) mixture were associated with significant reductions in creatine phosphokinase (CPK), a marker of exercise-induced muscle damage, according to scientists from Tsukuba University of Technology, University of Tsukuba, Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, and Ajinomoto Co.
