L-Leucine and CNS

[Richard Schmitt]

Actually that can be highly recommended to do on a CN.

Would it also be 5g for every meal during CN like in the PWO shake?

Re: in a shake . . . I guess you mean a powder form . . does it have an unpleasant taste or add an unpleasant taste to the shake?

Just hold your nose and gulp it down

You could add fish oil to get rid of the leucine taste.  ::)

My brother drinks his fish oil with a shot of milk.

The powder form sounds like it might ruin carb night . . . what is the disadvantage of pill form . . cost?What else should we know about taking L-Leucine with our carb nite meals . . this seems like a really interesting possibility!  Also do I assume correct that perhaps unlike with CBL, with CNS the whole purpose of the carbs is just to spike insulin  . . or do the carbs serve some other metabolic purpose as well (I know they are enjoyable .. . and that in in itself seems pretty important) . .  I am sort of curious at least in theory about things other than carbs that will spike insulin . . I had read before that Branch Chain Amino Acids Spike insulin . .  L-Leucine is a BCAA, correct? would there be any advantage of taking a BCAA supplement in addition to L-Leucine with CN meals?

Yesterday I had my first time with Leucine and it was awesome  8)I could feel how insuline was boosted and it felt a little like the start of carb nite.  ;DAlthough the taste was really awful..

If I understand Kiefer correctly, it's just the Luecine that spikes insulin and the other 2 BCAAs don't.
