120 Caps

Efectiv MPS185, 2000mg DL185 Dileucine Dipeptide Per 4-Capsule Serving

Efectiv Nutrition MPS185 is the UK's first DL185 Dileucine supplement, delivering a novel dipeptide form of leucine at clinical dose. Each 4-capsule serving delivers 2000mg DL185 (L-Leucyl-L-Leucine Monohydrate). The 120-capsule bottle provides 30 servings.

DL185 consists of two L-leucine molecules enzymatically bonded together to form a leucine dipeptide. Leucine is the primary activator of the mTOR pathway, the key intracellular signalling cascade for initiating muscle protein synthesis after training. Research has demonstrated that dipeptide forms of leucine are absorbed more rapidly and completely through intestinal peptide transporters (PEPT1/PEPT2) than free-form amino acids, and that the dileucine form may provide a more sustained and robust mTOR activation signal than an equivalent free leucine dose. MPS185 is positioned as a post-workout muscle protein synthesis amplifier rather than a bulk protein source.

What separates MPS185 from a leucine powder or a standard BCAA product is the peptide bond delivery format. Standard free-form leucine relies on amino acid transporters that compete with other amino acids for absorption capacity. The dipeptide form uses a separate and non-competitive transporter system, enabling more complete and rapid delivery regardless of co-ingested amino acid load. For athletes already optimising protein intake who want to amplify the mTOR signal at the peri-workout window, this is a mechanistically distinct supplement.

MPS185 suits advanced athletes with optimised total protein intake who are looking for a marginal but mechanistically justified edge in muscle protein synthesis, competitive bodybuilders pursuing muscle gain in the context of frequent structured resistance training, and strength athletes focused on hypertrophy during progressive overload phases. It is not an appropriate protein source for calorie or protein deficits; it supplements adequate intake, it does not replace it. Contains no major allergens.

Key Benefits

DL185 Dipeptide

The UK's first dileucine dipeptide, absorbed faster via the dedicated PepT1 transporter for superior leucine delivery to muscles.

mTOR Activation

Leucine is the most potent activator of the mTOR signalling pathway, the master switch for initiating muscle protein synthesis and growth.

Clinical Dose

Full 2000mg research-backed dose per serving, supported by published studies demonstrating meaningful performance benefits.

Vegan & Clean

Plant-based formula with gluten-free brown rice flour filler, manufactured in a GMP-accredited facility to the highest quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DL185 and how is it different from regular leucine in MPS185?

DL185 is a leucine dipeptide: two L-leucine molecules enzymatically bonded together. Unlike free-form leucine, which uses the standard amino acid transporters, DL185 is absorbed via the PepT1 peptide transporter in the gut. That is a distinct absorption route. MPS185 provides 2000mg of DL185 per 4-capsule serving, matching the dose used in the available research on this ingredient.

When should I take MPS185 for the best results?

Take 4 capsules around your training session, either 30 minutes before or immediately after, alongside a meal or protein shake. On rest days, take them with a protein-rich meal. Consistent daily use across a 4 to 8 week training block is more important than exact timing when assessing results.

Do I still need whey protein if I take MPS185?

Yes. MPS185 provides a concentrated leucine signal, but it does not replace the full spectrum of amino acids your body needs for recovery and muscle protein synthesis. You still want to hit a daily protein target through food and shakes. Think of MPS185 as an advanced add-on alongside Efectiv Whey Protein, not a replacement.
