What Does L- Threonine Do？

Threonine Brings New Opportunities To The Feed Industry

What Is Threonine?

L-Threonine Powder, the chemical name is: α-amino-β-hydroxybutyric acid, the molecular formula is NH2-CH(C00H)-CHOH-CH3, there are four stereoisomers, and only the L-threonine type has biological activity. L-threonine is an essential amino acid for the human body. Like L-Tryptophan Powder, it can relieve human mental fatigue, promote growth and development, and has a moisturizing effect on human skin; threonine is also an animal nutrition enhancer, which can effectively adjust the content of feed. Amino acid balance, promote the growth of poultry and livestock, improve the meat quality of animals, reduce the raw material cost of feed, etc., and are widely used in Germany, Belgium, Denmark and America and other countries.

What Nutritional Value Does Threonine Have?

1. Balance amino acid levels and promote protein synthesis
Threonine powder can eliminate the weight loss caused by excessive lysine, reduce the inhibition of growth caused by excessive tryptophan or methionine, and can be converted into other amino acids after absorption by the human body to help balance the amino acid level in the body;
2. Increase feed intake
L-threonine can regulate feed intake, and feed intake and daily gain will increase with the increase of threonine level; when the maximum requirement is exceeded, with the increase of threonine, feed intake and daily gain decrease, i.e. threonine can well regulate the daily feed intake;
3. Immunity
The lack of threonine will inhibit the production of immunoglobulin and T.B lymphocytes, and affect the immune function of the human body. Threonine is the main limiting threonine in the poultry immunoglobulin molecule. Adding a certain amount of threonine can improve the chick Antibodies against viruses, increasing disease resistance;
4. Regulate fat metabolism
Threonine can significantly regulate the body's fat metabolism, promote the synthesis of phosphorus substances and the oxidation of fatty acids, and help promote the rapid decomposition of fat;
5. Reduce the diarrhea rate of piglets
L-threonine is the main component of small intestinal mucus protein, and is an essential substance for the synthesis of glycoproteins on the surface of pig small intestine. It can effectively maintain the intestinal health and intestinal mucosal function of piglets, and can help promote growth and development of premature piglets. , to provide animals with the nutrients they need for growth.

Is Threonine Good For The Human Body?

1. Maintain digestive health
L-threonine powder can promote intestinal health by increasing the protection of intestinal mucus barrier, regulate the acid-base balance of the stomach, act as a barrier to destroy digestive enzymes, and effectively improve gastrointestinal health;
2. Boosts the immune system
Threonine can produce T cells or T lymphocytes, enhance the resistance of immune cells in the body, trigger antigens and cytokine receptors that make up the immune system, and effectively enhance the immune function of the human body;
3. Improves muscle contraction
Pure threonine powder can increase the level of glycine in the central nervous system, which is used to assist in the treatment of spasticity and improve the ability of ALS patients to spasticity and contract muscles;
4. Improves Bone Strength
Threonine can produce collagen, provide direct fuel for muscles, repair muscle tissue, strengthen muscle elastin function, and enhance the strength and endurance of bones and muscles;
5. Prevent fatty liver
Natural L-threonine can prevent fat accumulation, regulate fat metabolism, promote the metabolism and decomposition of fat-soluble compounds, avoid alcoholic liver fatty liver, and prevent liver fat accumulation;
6. Relieves Anxiety and Depression
Threonine powder, aspartic acid, asparagine, and l-serine amino acid may regulate amino acid levels in the body, thereby predicting the patient's response to depression drug treatment, and threonine is a precursor of glycine, which can help calm the nerves and improve depression. Cognitive performance, improves sleep quality, regulates neurodopamine, is an effective antidepressant supplement;
7. Helps wounds heal
L-Threonine powder is an essential substance for connective tissue formation and wound healing, accelerates wound healing, promotes wound growth, and is useful for healing wounds such as burns, wounds, and scalds.

What Are The Uses Of Threonine?

1. Nutritional supplements. The thermogenesis of threonine and glucose can produce burnt aroma and chocolate aroma, which can increase the aroma.
2. Feed nutrition enhancer. Threonine is an essential amino acid, which is added to the feed of juvenile piglets and poultry. It is the second limiting amino acid in pig feed and the third limiting amino acid in poultry feed to supplement nutrition for the growth of animals.
3. Amino acid drugs. Mainly used for amino acid infusion, comprehensive amino acid preparation, food nutrition enhancer.
4. A therapeutic agent for peptic ulcer. Threonine is used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as anemia, angina pectoris, aortitis and cardiac insufficiency;
5. Animal growth agent. Threonine supplements can meet the growth needs of animals, improve feed crude protein and nitrogen utilization, improve animal meat quality, reduce nitrogen content in livestock manure and urine, and is widely used in piglet feed, breeding pig feed, broiler feed, Shrimp feed and eel feed.
6. Biochemical research. Commonly used to prepare tissue culture media.

Is Threonine Necessary To Be Added To Animal Feed?

At present, feed resources are relatively scarce, especially the lack of protein feed such as soybean meal and fish meal, which seriously affects the development of animal husbandry. Threonine is the second or third limiting amino acid in pig feed, and the third or fourth limiting amino acid in poultry feed. With the wide application of lysine and methionine synthesis products in compound feed, threonine It has also gradually become the main limiting factor affecting livestock production, especially after adding lysine to low-protein diets, threonine quickly became the first limiting amino acid for pigs.
If threonine is not used in the feed, the regulation of amino acids in the feed can only rely on protein raw materials. The consequence of not using it is that the amino acids in the feed cannot be perfected as much as possible, and the cost of the feed formula will be difficult to reduce. Therefore, threonine is an essential step to improve the amino acid balance of the feed, otherwise the feed formulation will encounter great difficulties.
Threonine can reduce the waste of essential and non-essential amino acids, effectively reduce the crude protein level of the feed, and the crude protein level of the feed can make amino acids be reduced reasonably, and the production and safety of animals will not be affected in any way, and it will also improve animal health

What Are The Dangers Of Threonine Deficiency?

People with unbalanced diets or long-term vegetarians may not eat enough threonine foods, which may lead to a decrease and lack of amino acids in the body. Threonine deficiency may cause symptoms such as indigestion, irritability or agitation, confusion, fat buildup in the liver, and malnutrition.

In which foods is threonine found?
Threonine exists in nature as L-threonine, and the main foods of threonine include: organic meat (including chicken, lamb, beef and turkey), wild salmon, dairy products, cheese, eggs, radishes, bananas, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, kidney beans, edamame, spirulina, lentils and other foods.

L-threonine Side Effects​​​​​​​

Supplementing with moderate amounts of L-threonine is safe, but some people experience side effects such as headaches, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, and rashes. Pregnant and breastfeeding women do not have enough evidence to prove that they can take it. It is recommended to try to get enough amino acids in a balanced diet.
