In addition to many foods, leucine can of course also be supplemented directly. For this purpose, there are various forms of administration of the amino acid: powder, capsules and tablets. Leucine powder: Leucine powder is available as a pure mono-preparation or in the popular combination with valine and isoleucine, the other two branched-chain amino acids.
The advantages of the powder are that it is easy to dose and can be stirred into food and drinks. Also on the price level, the leucine powder is usually significantly cheaper than other dosage forms. A disadvantage, however, is that it is impractical for travel.
Leucine capsules or tablets: In capsule or tablet form, the great advantage is that the desired dose can be taken well on the go. This dosage form is therefore very good to handle and avoids any possible inherent taste of the powder. Capsules and tablets already have a predetermined dose, so they are not as individually adaptable as leucine powder.
The capsules/tablets can also be a problem for people with swallowing difficulties or children. Due to the special manufacturing process, they are usually also significantly more expensive than leucine powder.
