Serine Benefits

Serine's benefits include:

Serine is needed to make creatine
Serine, in its role as a basis for all proteins in the body, helps to create the protein creatine, which is needed to make muscles bigger. Creatine is often used by bodybuilders to make their muscles much larger and leaner.
Serine is necessary for fat metabolism
Serine is used by the body to facilitate fat metabolism and especially to metabolise fatty acids.
Serine is needed for a healthy immune system
Serine is responsible for assisting in the production of certain white blood cells and immunoglobulins, which are the substances that help the body fight disease and infection.

Serine potentially inhibits cancer and tumour growth
Several recent studies are looking into serine (in the form of serine protease inhibitor WX-671) as a way to inhibit cancer and malignant tumour growths in the body. These studies have found that the serine protease inhibitors have anti-metastatic properties; this means that they prevent the cancer from growing bigger or spreading to other parts of the body. This is very significant research.
Serine is part of cell membranes
Serine is required for all cell membranes as it forms part of the cell membrane. As the cell membrane is made up of fatty acids, serine is also responsible for ensuring that the fatty acids are transported to the cell membranes to provide a healthy cell membrane.
