L-Isoleucine

Effects

Here are some properties of this amino acid.

Glucose uptake

During exercise, this can be crucial because it helps maintain energy levels by ensuring glucose is available for energy production inside muscle cells. This process supports sustained physical activity and delays the onset of fatigue. (1)

Muscle protein synthesis and repair

Together with L-leucine and L-valine, it is recognised for its role in muscle recovery due to its involvement in protein synthesis, and it also supports energy at the cellular level. Efficient protein synthesis ensures muscles repair and strengthen, indirectly supporting energy efficiency and the capacity for future exercise. (L-Leucina / L-Valina ) (2)
