What is L-Leucine 500mg?

L-Leucine 500mg by EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegan tablets made from the amino acid L-Leucine produced through a vegetable fermentation process.

This is an essential amino acid that belongs to the group of branched amino acids, within the category of proteinogenic amino acids, i.e. those that make up protein structures.

Our L-Leucine, unlike other amino acid products on the market, has been obtained through a fermentation process from vegetable sources without animal raw materials, and no compounds of animal origin have been used in the production of the tablets, so that:

Our L-Leucine 500mg is a product suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
