| What is it? | |
| One of the essential AMINO ACIDS; It's a major player in the synthesis of purines, which in turn break down uric acid, itself a by-product of PROTEIN digestion. Threonine is also key to bodily processes requiring glycine, a NONESSENTIAL AMINO ACID. Further, it piggybacks PHOSPHATE in phosphoproteins. | |
