Isoleucine or plain Leucine?

[dw1015]

I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere, but if it has I couldn't find it.  Does it matter whether you take isoleucine or plain Leucine? And If so, what is the difference?

Isoleucine is a different amino acid and won't spike insulin like leucine will.

you really can't find plain Leucine by itself but AllMax Nutrition makes a Leucine powder and it's pretty good the only thing is it's unflavored.  both of these are branched chain amino acids the last one is valine, but really the only one that matters when it comes to muscle building is Luecine, so go with luecine a good BCAA product with a 4:1:1 ratio is RecoverPro it has the most luecine in it

I'm sorry, but I really didn't understand any of that post. :S

Anyone tried the hydrolysate from here?  It's a decent price but I'm always weary of new things that don't do a great job explaining why they're good.

Plain leucine .. Muscle feast has a great pharm grade powder .

For hydrolysate try hydro whey from ON . Pricy but great.
