L-Threonine

Skin barrier and tissue support

L-threonine is an essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and tissue maintenance. It plays a role in the formation of structural proteins that are important for maintaining the integrity of tissues such as the skin and intestinal lining.

Threonine is particularly important for the production of mucins, proteins that form part of protective barriers in the body. In the skin, maintaining a strong barrier is essential for protecting against environmental stressors and supporting hydration.

Because the skin and gut are closely connected, nutrients that support barrier function can contribute to overall skin health and resilience. Threonine therefore plays a supportive role in maintaining healthy skin structure and overall physiological balance (Jiravanichanun, 2006).
