leucine is an essential amino acid,not protein
and egg contains all 9 essential amino acids., and that includes leucine.
and egg is the reference protein with npu of 96 compared to 80 for milk
Leucine is a protein sub-faction, ergo amino acid. I mentioned the metabolite HMB for that reason, leucine alone won't work, it takes a very specific 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs to do the trick.
