Description
Testing for threonine levels could be beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or disorders affecting nutrient absorption, as threonine plays a role in gut health. It’s also useful for people experiencing symptoms like fatigue, muscle weakness, or skin and wound healing problems. Additionally, individuals on a vegetarian or vegan diet and those with metabolic conditions affecting amino acid processing might benefit from such testing to ensure adequate threonine for immune function and protein synthesis.

- Slow wound healing
- Skin elasticity issues
- Weak immune response

Threonine is found in high amounts in meats, poultry, and fish. Dairy products and eggs also provide significant threonine. For plant-based diets, legumes, nuts, and seeds are good sources, as are soy products.
Threonine supplementation can support immune function, improve gut health, and aid in skin and wound healing. It’s important for maintaining protein balance in the body and can be beneficial for individuals with low dietary intake or increased needs.
