What is l-leucine?
L-leucine is an indispensable amino acid and one of the three BCAAs. Your body does not produce it itself, so you get it from protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, or from a supplement.

L-Leucine Powder with Vitamin B6 from GEN
This l-leucine powder from German Elite Nutrition provides 5000 mg of fermented leucine per serving, supplemented with vitamin B6. Leucine is one of the amino acids your body cannot produce itself and is one of the so-called BCAAs. The powder is unflavoured and plant-based. A 500-gram bag provides 100 servings.
What leucine is
Leucine is an essential amino acid: your body does not produce it itself, so you obtain it entirely from food. It is found mainly in high-protein products such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy and legumes, and is a standard ingredient in whey and many BCAA and EAA formulas. With a separate supply of l-leucine, you decide how much to add to a shake or to your EAA mix, instead of being tied to the ratio in a ready-made formula.
Why it contains vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 has been added to this powder in the form of pyridoxine, 0.21 mg per serving. This corresponds to 15% of the reference intake. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. In addition, vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Pyridoxine is the same form of B6 that you also find in many multivitamins.
Fermented, vegan and unflavoured
The leucine is microbiologically fermented and is therefore completely plant-based, without animal-derived ingredients. The powder has no flavour of its own, making it easy to mix into water, juice or a shake. No flavourings, colourings or fillers have been added. Pure leucine plus the vitamin, nothing more. Good to know: pure leucine can taste slightly bitter in water, so many people prefer to mix it into a flavoured shake rather than tap water. A tip: dissolve the powder thoroughly before adding other ingredients to ensure a lump-free mix, and using a shaker with a mixing ball is the quickest way.
How to use this l-leucine powder
A serving is 5 grams, approximately two scoops, dissolved in sufficient liquid. Many people mix l-leucine into their protein shake, EAA drink or another beverage. Stick to the recommended amount on the label. Because a bag contains 100 servings, you can use it flexibly. Store the powder in a dry, well-sealed container so that it remains free-flowing and easy to scoop.
In summary, this is a pure, fermented l-leucine powder with vitamin B6. 5000 mg of leucine per serving, 100 servings per bag, unflavoured and vegan.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you take l-leucine?
Many athletes take leucine around their workout or mix it into their protein shake. There is no fixed time. Choose the moment that suits your training and eating rhythm.
Who is this powder for?
The powder is aimed at strength and fitness athletes who want to supplement their amino acid intake themselves. Due to its neutral taste, it is also easy to combine with other supplements.
Is this l-leucine powder vegan?
Yes. The leucine is microbiologically fermented, without animal raw materials. It contains no flavourings, colourings, or fillers, so it fits into a plant-based diet.
Why does it contain vitamin B6?
Vitamin B6 contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Since leucine revolves around protein, B6 is a logical addition. One serving provides 15% of the reference intake.
What is the difference with a BCAA or EAA supplement?
A BCAA supplement combines leucine with isoleucine and valine, an EAA mix contains all essential amino acids. This product is pure leucine plus B6, so you can dose the leucine separately alongside your existing mix.
