LeuSynergy™

An exercise and caloric restriction mimetic that works on NAD+ efficiency and sirt1 activation. This low-dose leucine compound is best known for its incredible enhancement of weight loss with GLP 1’s like semaglutide.
LeuSynergy + GLP-1s has become a foundational protocol for weight loss and metabolism optimization.

Cellular Pathways

Delivering the right dose of Leucine decreases the amount of NAD needed to activate SIRT-1.
Leucine at a concentration of 0.5mM was shown to decrease the kM of NAD by 50%.
With Leucine, LESS NAD+ is needed for SIRT-1 functions, improving NAD+ utilization in other cellular pathways.

Why this matters:

SIRT-1 Downstream Effects

Stimulates caloric restriction and exercise pathways through these gene transcription factors:

PGC-1a
The core regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis
PPAR
Regulate fat oxidation
AMPK
Master regulator of cell energy
NF-kB
Inhibition leads to decreased inflammation and oxidative stress 

Clinical Studies

Leucine-Resveratrol Synergy

Human Pre-diabetic
Subjects Randomized:

Leucine 1.1 g + Resveratrol 50mg Twice Daily vs. Placebo
  • OGTT and 60 min glucose and insulin concentration
  • Reduced insulin resistance by 33%
  • Significant improvement and insulin/glucose dynamics

Synergy with GLP-1s

Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Liraglutide
Studies show 15% reduction in body weight when semaglutide was accompanied by caloric restriction and exercise. Using an exercise mimetic like LeuSynergy is foundational in weight loss and metabolic health outcomes.
Insulin Independent Pathways for Glucose Disposal
GLP-1
Increase in GLUT4 expression by activating AMPK
SIRT-1
Increase in GLUT4 expression through SIRT1 deacetylation of PGC-1a
GLP-1
Direct effects on hepatocytes by activating genes involved in beta-oxidation of fatty acids
SIRT-1
Activation of PGC-1a and PPAR resulting in an increase in fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylationn
GLP-1
Reduced oxidative stress in pancreatic islets. Increases B-cell mass by regulating cell kinetics and suppressing oxidative and ER stress, and amerlioration of glucolipotoxicity.
SIRT-1
SIRT-1 deacetylation and inhibition of NF-kB protecting beta cells from oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines.
