In the hemoglobin's formation, the compound isoleucine partners with leucine to manufacture vital biochemical components for energy production, maintaining alertness and stimulating the upper brain(1*). Isoleucine is metabolized in muscle tissue(2*).

Isoleucine is needed for regulating and stabilizing energy and blood sugar levels and for hemoglobin formation(3*). A lack of Isoleucine in the body results in the symptoms of hypoglycemia(4*).

Both muscle building and aerobic exercise training heighten the required protein level of the body for various reasons. During aerobic activity, the body uses amino acids (valine, isoleucine, and leucine - amino acids branch chain) to produce energy. It may promote up to 10% of the energy generated during extended activities(5*).
