Dileucine Capsules (2000mg) 50 Count

Technical Specifications

L-Leucyl-L-Leucine (dileucine) is a bioactive dipeptide composed of two leucine amino acid residues linked by a peptide bond. This compound has emerged as a significant advancement in amino acid supplementation research, demonstrating superior absorption kinetics and biological activity compared to free leucine. Research since the early 2020s has produced over 50 peer-reviewed publications examining its effects on muscle protein synthesis, athletic performance, and sarcopenia research.

Dileucine is transported intact across the intestinal epithelium via the proton-coupled peptide transporter PEPT1 (SLC15A1), conferring distinct pharmacokinetic advantages. Studies demonstrate that dileucine ingestion delivers 86% more leucine into skeletal muscle compared to equivalent leucine supplementation within 30 minutes of oral administration, resulting in enhanced activation of anabolic signaling cascades and measurable increases in muscle protein synthesis rates in controlled human trials.
