Muscle Feast Vegan L-Leucine 200 Grams (7 Ounces)

Leucine tends to be hydrophobic. It does not want to easily mix with liquid. It does not matter which brand you buy, it is the nature of the beast. Having said that, I love the Muscle Feast brand, especially their vanilla casein! TReviewers who say that this Leucine does not mix well are doing it incorrectly.If you plan to stir with a spoon or shake it up in a container, do not plan on it dissolving easily. It won't. No brand or version of Leucine will mix well under those circumstances.The key is to use a blender. That is the only way it will fully dissolve.I use a 1/4 cup of pre-workout or juice to help with flavor. I also add 5g of Glutamine in addition to one scoop of the Leucine. I use a magic bullet blender.As you can see by the photos, how well it mixes depends on how long you blend it for.That's it.That's the "secret".Strength and length of blender time will determine how well it mixes.As you can see, a quick blend, appx 3 seconds, leaves large bubbles comprised of the undissolved leucine powder. You can drink it this way but will find some of it left in the cup, it's chalky and bubbly.A slightly longer blend time, appx 5 seconds, you can see the bubbles are finer and denser, more of a foam like you'd see on a cafe latte. It's getting close.In either of these scenarios, if you wait too long to drink it, the bubbles eventually deflate and you are left with a film that sticks to the cup.However, a longer blend time, appx 8-15 seconds, will fully dissolve the leucine in your liquid. Because the blender aerates the liquid, you may have bubbles when you turn off of the blender. Start drinking they will pop quickly or leave it sit for a moment and give it a swirl every few seconds. As you can see there are no leucine particles making chalky bubbles.So, if you are having mixing problems, use a blender.This product is great. It will help your muscles grow. get some Glutamine to go with it and take it as soon as you finish your last rep.Buy it.Use it.Show us your gains.

L-Leucine is the most important essential amino acid in muscle synthesis. When your body runs out, it will stop building muscle.This particular product appears to be high quality. It is a fine, dry powder that is consistent in grain and free of clumps. It mixes into shakes readily in the blender and comes with a scoop for dispensing.The big drawback of Leucine is that it reeks - this product is no different. Mix it with something flavored and you should have no problem stomaching it.The low price and solid body of research backing this amino acid make it a no brainer for any strength training athlete.

Since Leucine is the most important of all the branched chain amino acids and is arguably the most important amino acid for the building of muscle. I have been using this brand for the past 3-4 years. The price has been very good and so has the quality, however I have deducted one star from my review because of the difficulty of mixing this product with a liquid. I have noticed that placing this in a hot liquid it breaks up to tiny balls that float on the surface, if your willing to wait 15 minutes or so they will mix. Other brands are better than this I don't like waiting that long when there is a better product. If you are blending it's fine but hot liquids you'll wait and forget about cold liquids mixes terribly.

The reason I'm giving this product 5 stars is because it's an effective product. The container itself says it's unflavored, as does in the listing, so it wasn't any surprise to me that it tasted nasty. Price-wise you're looking at one of your more affordable options, which again, I can't complain because it's exactly what I was looking for, something cheap and effective.

It says "unflavored" on the tub, but nothing could be further from the truth. The first time I tasted this product I literally gagged. I have tasted few things that are as bitter as this product. If I could, I would give the taste -5 stars.

I take 3g of Leucine post workout in order to promote muscle growth. Leucine activates mTOR receptors, which allows the body to bypass the need for a hormone release in order for muscle to absorb dietary nutrients. I.e. your muscles can soak up carbs and protein post workout without having to raise your blood sugar to create an insulin spike. Basically, Leucine makes it easier for muscle to absorb nutrients and grow, which prevents muscle catabolism.It should be noted, I practice a form of the keto diet so I don't consume Leucine pre-workout because it has been reported to raise insulin levels. If you are trying to burn fat before and during your workout then it may be a good idea to avoid Leucine pre-workout. You can also drive insulin spikes higher post-workout by adding leucine to your carb-laden post-workout meals.Muscle Feast is a highly regarded company in the supplement space. I also use their whey isolate which is highly regarded by labdoor.com. Their products are certified by the world anti-doping agency and they don't add artificial ingredients, which is a major deciding factor for me when choosing supplements.

L-leucine is the most critical EAA for post workout muscle growth. This one mixes well in my protein shake. I’ve noticed growth since I’ve been adding extra L-leucine . Authentic l-leucine will be bitter to taste . This one is bitter which is a sign is good stuff.

Worst tasting crap ever
