What is Leucine?
Leucine is an essential amino acid, one of the building blocks of proteins, vital for the health and well-being of dogs, cats, and horses. It plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including muscle development, immune support, and overall growth.
Why we would use it for pet products?
Leucine is a valuable addition to pet products because of its role in muscle protein synthesis and growth. It can help pets, especially active dogs and horses, maintain and develop strong muscles, aiding in their overall physical fitness. Additionally, it can support the immune system, ensuring pets are better equipped to fight off infections and illnesses.
Where can Leucine be found in nature?
Leucine can be found in various natural food sources. For pets, it's commonly obtained through their diet, primarily from high-quality animal protein such as meat, fish, and poultry. These ingredients, when included in pet food and supplements, provide the necessary leucine levels to promote the health and vitality of dogs, cats, and horses.
