Isoleucine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be made by the body and is known for its ability to help endurance and assist in the repair and rebuilding of muscle. This amino acid is important to body builders as it helps boost energy and helps the body recover from training.
People that exercise a lot or have a low-protein diet should consider supplementation with BCAAs, of which isoleucine is one. BCAAs are crucial for muscle protein synthesis and decreased protein catabolism. When taken in the correct ratio of two parts leucine and two parts valine for every one part isoleucine, muscle anabolism and thus growth is enhanced. Short changing yourself of these important BCAAs will limit your bodybuilding success.
