Researchers did just that when they created L-Leucyl-L-Leucine Monohydrate or Dileucine (DL-185™). Dileucine is a peptide consisting of two leucines chemically bonded to one another that get into the bloodstream intact and can boost protein synthesis even better than regular l-leucine. And we’re not just talking about a “little better” either! In a groundbreaking study, subjects who consumed 2000 mg of DL-185™ demonstrated a massive 159% greater activation of muscle protein synthesis compared to baseline and 60% greater than regular leucine! What is even more interesting is that compared to baseline, leucine did not stimulate muscle protein synthesis, indicating that the intact dileucine is signaling the muscle to resynthesize new muscle proteins!
