I mix it post-workout with creatine and 16 oz of water. It’s pure, effective, and worth the grimace. Suck it up, buttercup. Let’s get one thing straight: this stuff tastes like burnt coffee beans had a bitter divorce with a charred tire—and somehow they both lost custody. If you’re expecting a tropical fruit flavor, walk away. But if you’re chasing real results and not some sugar-coated placebo, Nutricost’s L-Leucine delivers. I drink this post-workout, mixing one scoop with creatine and about 16 oz of water. Taste-wise? It’s rough. But it mixes well, no clumps, and hits your system like a freight train full of gains. Suck it up, buttercup—the results are worth the momentary mouth punishment. Now let’s talk results: faster recovery, better muscle retention (especially cutting), and noticeable post-lift performance improvements. Leucine is the MVP of BCAAs for muscle protein synthesis, and this pure, no-BS version nails it. Bonus: no fillers, no weird additives, just pure leucine doing exactly what you want it to do—helping you hang onto hard-earned muscle like it owes you money. Taste is a 2/10. Results? 10/10. You don’t buy this for a spa day—you buy it because it works. ## Features - Maintains nitrogen balance - Quantity - 500 g - Supplies the body with energy when under stress - FSSAI Importer Licence no: 23317003000774 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BCNGPCU | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free, Soy Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,966 in Health ( See Top 100 in Health ) #476 in Amino Acid Nutritional Supplements | | Brand | Nutricost | | Brand Name | Nutricost | | Color | ice | | Container Type | Tub | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,751 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Dosage Form | Capsule | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Flavour | Unflavored | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00810014679341 | | Item Dimensions | 13 x 11.5 x 17 centimeters | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 544 g | | Item form | Powder | | Item weight | 544 g | | Manufacturer | Nutricost | | Manufacturer Part Number | NTC046101 | | Material Features | GMO Free | | Material Type Free | Non-GMO and Gluten Free | | Model Name | NTC046101 | | Model Number | NTC046101 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | BCAA | | Primary supplement type | BCAA | | Product Benefits | Muscle Growth | | Special Ingredients | L-Leucine | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal, Supplementation | | Supplement Formulation | Individual Supplement | | Total Servings Per Container | 100 | | UPC | 810014679341 | | Unit Count | 17.637 Grams | | Unit count | 17.637 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nutricost - **Diet type:** Vegan - **Flavour:** Unflavored - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 13 x 11.5 x 17 centimeters - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 544 g - **Primary supplement type:** BCAA - **Product benefits:** Muscle Growth - **Special ingredients:** L-Leucine - **Unit count:** 17.637 Grams ## Images ![Nutricost Pure L-Leucine Powder (500 g) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cnMP+CSlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it dissolves in water?** A: Yes, I put it in a shaker cup and it dissolves just fine. My shaker cup has a steel wire ball to help things mix. **Q: What is this L-Leucine powder good for?** A: You need a high level of Leucine in your blood in order for your body to trigger muscle protein synthesis and use the protein you're eating to build new muscle. You can probably get plenty by eating a normal high protein meal, but if you want to be more certain, you can supplement a little Leucine along with your meals. **Q: this is made out of corn? I am highly allergic to corn.** A: It is not made from corn **Q: Does it come with a scooper?** A: Yes it does ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Tastes terrible *by C***A on 21 July 2023* I do not like the taste of this - tastes like chemicals ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brutal Taste, Beautiful Gains – Worth Every Grimace *by R***N on 12 May 2025* TL;DR: Tastes like burnt coffee beans and regret, but if you want real muscle retention and recovery, this stuff works.
