Nutricost Pure L-Leucine Powder 500 Grams

TL;DR: Tastes like burnt coffee beans and regret, but if you want real muscle retention and recovery, this stuff works. I mix it post-workout with creatine and 16 oz of water. It’s pure, effective, and worth the grimace. Suck it up, buttercup.Let’s get one thing straight: this stuff tastes like burnt coffee beans had a bitter divorce with a charred tire—and somehow they both lost custody. If you’re expecting a tropical fruit flavor, walk away. But if you’re chasing real results and not some sugar-coated placebo, Nutricost’s L-Leucine delivers.I drink this post-workout, mixing one scoop with creatine and about 16 oz of water. Taste-wise? It’s rough. But it mixes well, no clumps, and hits your system like a freight train full of gains. Suck it up, buttercup—the results are worth the momentary mouth punishment.Now let’s talk results: faster recovery, better muscle retention (especially cutting), and noticeable post-lift performance improvements. Leucine is the MVP of BCAAs for muscle protein synthesis, and this pure, no-BS version nails it.Bonus: no fillers, no weird additives, just pure leucine doing exactly what you want it to do—helping you hang onto hard-earned muscle like it owes you money.Taste is a 2/10. Results? 10/10. You don’t buy this for a spa day—you buy it because it works.

Good quality Leucine. Yes, it tastes like *#@&! BUT it is good for you and does help in the long run, plus powered in thr tub is a better deal. Almost all of these supplements taste nasty, which is why they are in pill form. So, if you don't like the taste either get the pill form or mix it in something with a stronger taste, like OJ or pineapple juice.

Be sure to mix this powder with something besides water. It tastes horrible when mixed with water

Very good product

I dump a scoop in my mouth and wash it down with water. Not that bad compared to some aminos like L-Arginine.

I mix this with my whey protein, and the taste is overpowering. I’m gonna continue to use it. I hope I reap the health benefits.

The product seems to increase muscle mass while the supplementation continues.

I kept track of the number of servings I used out of this bottle of L-Leucine powder by NutriCost. The front of the bottle says that it contains 100 servings. Well, I used the supplied scoop scraping off any excess powder off of the top of the scoop using the back of a butter knife so that the serving of powder in the scoop was exactly level with the top of it making each serving I used 5 Grams the size of one serving as printed on the front of the bottle, and I only got 64 servings. This means that NutriCost cheated me out of 36 servings. I paid $21.95 for 100 servings of L-Leucine, but I only got $14.05 worth of it, and I got cheated out of $7.90.This makes me wonder how many other bottles full of powder sold by NutriCost claiming to contain a certain number of servings really contain far fewer servings than advertised cheating us out of our hard earned money and padding the pockets/bank accounts of NutriCost?I think I will look for another more honest company to get my supplement powders from going forward.
