			Leucine is considered a vital amino acid for the protein synthesis and various metabolic functions - in other words, it is an essential amino acid, which helps in regulating the blood-sugar levels, promotes the growth and the recovery of muscle and bone tissues, as well as the production of the growth hormone.  This amino acid is also known for preventing the breakdown of muscle proteins caused by injury or stress.  In addition, Leucine may be beneficial for people suffering from phenylketonuria.			</div>
