Descrizione

DL-Threonine (or 2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid), is an essential, non-protein amino acid naturally occurring in the human body and it is involved in many biological processes. DL-threonine takes part in the conversion of glycogen into the glucose pathway, supports muscle tissue maintenance and growth, and plays a key role in regulating levels of other amino acids. In addition, DL-threonine helps to provide protection against heat, reduce tiredness and lowers blood pressure. It is an important source of energy for the liver and has been shown to be effective in stimulating liver function, as well as, to have a protective effect against various diseases, including hepatitis and cirrhosis. The liver uses DL-Threonine to produce other amino acids and helping in protein synthesis, such as insulin. The human body can produce DL-threonine from serine by threonine synthase, but not enough to meet the body's needs and thus it must be obtained from food sources or supplements. DL-Threonine can be found in many foods including meat, eggs, soybeans, and dairy products. It can chelate metal cations to improve the absorption of minerals from supplements, which is used in fertilizers for agriculture.
