Threonine (Amino Acid)
Threonine:
Threonine is an essential amino acid that promotes normal growth by
helping to maintain the proper protein balance in the body.
Threonine also supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and
immune system function. It is required to help maintain the proper
protein balance in the body, as well as assist in the formation of
collagen and elastin in the skin.

Threonine is an essential amino acid, which means it must be
obtained from dietary sources. Dairy foods, meat, grains,
mushrooms, and leafy vegetables all contain threonine, so threonine
deficiency is not likely if you have a balanced diet. However, strict
vegetarians or vegans may want to consider threonine
supplementation, since meat is by far the more superior source of
this amino acid—the threonine content of grains is very low.
Symptoms of threonine deficiency include emotional agitation,
confusion, digestion difficulties and fatty liver. Threonine is available
in protein supplements such as protein powder/bars and amino acid
tablets. The standard dose is between 103 and 500 milligrams per
day. Exceeding the recommended doses of threonine can disrupt
liver function, and cause the formation of too much urea, and
consequently ammonia toxicity, in your body.

Deficiency of threonine
It is a precursor of isoleucine and imbalance may result if the
synthesis rate from asparate is incorrect.

In humans, deficiency may result in irritability and a generally difficult
personality.
