About Isoleucine
Essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA). Studied mainly in combination with leucine and valine. Plays a role in glucose uptake into muscle tissue and energy regulation during exercise.
What Isoleucine supports
- Supports glucose uptake into muscle for exercise fuel
- Supports endurance and post-exercise recovery
How much Isoleucine to take
Clinical studies typically use 1500–4000 mg of Isoleucine. Typically dosed alongside other BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio (leucine:isoleucine:valine).
- Effective range
- 1500–4000 mg
Clinical evidence
Moderate clinical evidence. Studied mainly in combination with other BCAAs; limited standalone clinical data
