Isoleucine Plays an Important Role for Maintaining Immune Function

Isoleucine is one of the nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot produce on their own, meaning we must obtain it through our diet or supplements. Isoleucine is a key player in collagen synthesis, the protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Isoleucine also aids in the healing process of skin wounds. It supports the formation of new blood vessels, accelerates tissue regeneration, and enhances the production of collagen at the wound site. Isoleucine acts as an antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect our skin cells from damage. This defense mechanism contributes to maintaining a healthy and radiant complexion. [9]
