Leucines

Leucines are little building blocks that help make proteins in our bodies. Think of them like tiny Lego pieces. They're essential for building and repairing muscles, cells, and tissues.

There are a few different types of leucines, but the one we're most interested in is called L-leucine. This particular type is especially important for building muscle and keeping our bodies strong and healthy.

When we eat foods that contain protein (like meat, eggs, or beans), our bodies break down the protein into its individual building blocks, including leucines. These leucines then get used to build new proteins in our bodies.

So basically, leucines are like the raw materials that our bodies use to build and repair everything from our muscles to our organs. Without them, we wouldn't be able to grow, heal, or stay healthy.
