Threonine Benefits

Threonine's benefits include:

Threonine helps the body use glucose properly
Threonine helps the body use glucose and so normalises blood glucose levels because it can be converted into glucose in the liver when there are insufficient amounts of glucose in the body (this process is called gluconeogenesis)
Threonine stimulates the immune system to function better
Threonine is required by the immune system to help it function more effectively, by boosting the function and numbers of white blood cells that fight infection and prevent disease, plus it also helps immunity at a cellular level, by promoting the cells' immune defenses. Threonine also has a stimulating effect on the thymus gland, which is where the T cells migrate to from the bone marrow to mature, so that they can be effective body defenders. Threonine helps to create more infection and disease fighting antibodies.

Threonine has a protective role on the liver, by preventing fatty liver, as this conditions can affect proper functioning of the liver

Threonine is required for healthy connective tissue
Threonine is needed by the body to regulate, maintain and repair connective tissues such as: collagen, protein, elastin and even tooth enamel. All of these connective tissues need adequate supplies of threonine to be healthy. In particular, the skin (which has large components of collagen and elastin) need threonine to be firm, supple and healthy. These tissues are also the reason why threonine is useful in faster wound healing.
Threonine prevents fatty liver
Studies show that threonine may prevent fat accumulating around the liver and a condition called fatty liver. Threonine has a protective role on the liver, by preventing fatty liver, as this conditions can affect proper functioning of the liver and is associated with diseases of the liver such as cirrhosis.
Threonine helps the liver absorb fat
Threonine, when it is combined with the amino acids aspartic acid and methionine, helps the liver digest and absorb fats and fatty acids, so that they can be used by the body for their various functions, including repair (and creation) of cell membranes and creation of hormones.
