Amino Acid - L-Serine
L-Serine is required for fat metabolism and tissue growth. L-Serine's relationship with tissue growth means that it's a common inclusion in skin moisturisers. Likewise, as L-Serine's required for fat metabolism, it's an ingredient in some "fat loss" supplements, although, more commonly sold in supplements advertising improved brain function, due to L-Serine helping to form components of Phospholipids in cell membranes and being a constituent of brain proteins. As mentioned many times, the supplement industry (& cosmetic industry come to that) are big business and a "healthy" lifestyle will always outweigh the benefits of individual products, unless of course there's an identified deficiency.
