4.  Function Introduction

(1) L-Threonine, which contains hydroxyl groups in its structure, has a water-holding effect on human skin and promotes phospholipid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation. It can also promote human development and anti-fatty liver effect.

(2) Threonine is an essential amino acid used as a feed fortifier. Threonine is an essential amino acid. Threonine is often added to the feed of immature piglets and poultry, which is the second limiting amino acid of pig feed and the third limiting amino acid of poultry feed. Threonine is added to wheat, barley and other grain-based feeds.

(3) In food, it can fortify cereals, pastries, dairy products, etc., and has the effect of relieving human fatigue and promoting growth and development.

(4) Nutritional additives, also used in the preparation of amino acid infusion and comprehensive amino acid preparations.
