In the ever-evolving industry of sports supplements and functional ingredients, DL185™ is potentially the most exciting innovation of 2024. At EFECTIV, we are very excited to be bringing this groundbreaking ingredient to the UK for the very first time in the form of MPS185.
So what is DL185™?
DL185™, or dileucine, is a new dipeptide which consists of two L-Leucine molecules that have been bonded together. If you've been using sports supplements for a while, you've probably used, or at least heard of leucine.
Leucine is well known as one of the 9 essential amino acids which the body must obtain from the diet. Leucine plays a critical role in numerous physiological functions, most noticeably as a key regulator of muscle protein synthesis (MPS).
Why should I use DL185™ instead of standard L-Leucine?
Some research suggests that leucine alone may not be the most sufficient way to maximally stimulate MPS [1]. This is where DL185™ may be useful, by harnessing the MPS power of leucine, providing meaningful performance and recovery benefits when taken alongside a resistance training program.
Dileucine is a natural dietary component that can be found in all animal and plant protein sources, with animal proteins generally containing higher amounts of dileucine compared to plant proteins.
HOWEVER, protein alone will struggle to provide you with the clinically validated dosage of dileucine, as you'd have to consume 159g of Whey Protein Concentrate (over 5 30g scoops) or 219g of Pea Protein (over 7 30g scoops) to get the dileucine found in a 2g serving of DL185™.
The bottom line is DL185™ provides a concentrated form of the anabolic powder of leucine.
DL185™: Rapid Leucine Uptake
To optimally stimulate MPS following resistance training or intense physical activity, a certain amount of leucine is needed (1.7-3.5g), ideally from a fat-absorbing protein source such as Whey Protein Isolate.
With DL185™, 86% more leucine is delivered to the muscles in just 30 minutes which translates to a 60% increase of mean myofibrillar fractional synthetic rate (FSR) compared to the same amount of leucine in healthy young men [2].
With DL185™ you will benefit from more MPS... Faster.
Train hard and unleash your natural potential
DL185™ vs leucine when combined with a multi-week training program:
Compared to control, DL185™ significantly increased leg press strength gains, while leucine alone showed no significant change [3].
Where can I buy DL185™?
EFECTIV Nutrition MPS185 packs in a full 30 day supply of DL185™ at the clinical dosage with 2g per 4 capsule serving.
