True Protein's Leucine 4:1:1

[Prometheus615]

Just how much Leucine is in a dose/serving of this? I couldnt find it at the website. Also how much does an adult male need for anabolic effect? When to take it? 195lbs, 39 yrs old, 15% BF. Thanks in advance.

Looking at the info you have provided, i'd guess that there is 4 grams of Leucine per 6 grams of the product

The first poster was correct with the ratio into grams. As far as how much you need, well that can vary but I'd toss 10 or so grams into your pre/post workout nutrition as a start point.

If you need any help with that product or others from that site hit me up with a PM, been using them for a couple years now and spend a lot of time discussing their products on boards.

I read somewhere on a pretty credible site that only 3.5g of leucine is needed post workout, and thats if you're on the heavy side.

Dosage

I've been lead to believe that you should use the following amount of leucine per day....

0.1 x bodyweight in pounds (up to 200lbs) and then 0.2 x bodyweight in pounds for every pound above 200lbs.

Examples...

180 lbs bodybuilders should use..

0.1 x 180 = 18 grams of leucine per day.

250 lbs bodybuilder should use..

(0.1 x 200) + (0.2 x 50) = 30 grams of leucine per day.


This should be spread out between meals.
