L-Threonine is used to alleviate anxiety and mild depression. It is an important component of many proteins such as tooth enamel, collagen, and elastin. It is an important amino acid in the nervous system and plays a vital role in porphyrin and fat metabolism. It is useful in intestinal disorders and indigestion. It is also used as a prodrug to reliably elevate brain glycine levels.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
