[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 317556, member: 33342"] All meat proteins are "complete" which means that they include a complete set of amino-acids, which includes leucine. These foods are supposed to be especially rich in leucine: [url=http://www.livestrong.com/article/305169-list-of-leucine-food-sources/]http://www.livestrong.com/article/30516 ... d-sources/[/url] However, the point of taking it as a supplement is that you get to take only the ketone producing aminos, wheras if you get it in meat, you'll get lots of glucose producing aminos too. I take it as a supplement from nasty body-building websites. If you want to juice your ketones, coconut oil or MCT (which is refined coconut oil) are probably a much better bet. [/QUOTE]
