L-Threonine

L-Threonine is one of the nine essential amino acids. It plays key roles in the nervous system, as well as fat metabolism and liver health.* It's also involved in supporting gut health by helping make proteins called mucins that support the intestinal lining.* Since this EAA is abundant in animal products but isn't as common in fruits and vegetables, vegans and vegetarians are at risk for a potential deficiency.*
