Now, why does that matter and why is it so much better than leucine on its own? We know that leucine is the most anabolic amino acid for stimulating mTOR (the key pathway for muscle protein synthesis).

Dileucine outshines leucine on its own because in the body, dipeptides are absorbed differently — and often faster — than free-form amino acids.
Instead of relying solely on standard amino acid transporters, dipeptides like dileucine can take advantage of PEPT1 peptide transporters in the gut, delivering leucine into the bloodstream quickly and much more efficiently. This is going to allow your body to stimulate mTOR much more rapidly and reach an anabolic (muscle building) state quicker.
