Amino Acid - L-Threonine
You've perhaps stumbled across L-Threonine searching Lipotropics in relation to fat burning effects. A Lipotropic nutrient is one that promotes or encourages the export of fat from the liver and are therefore important for a healthy liver (reducing fat accumulation). L-Threonine becomes a Lipotropic when combined with the other Amino Acids L-Methionine and L-Aspartic Acid.
High concentrations of L-Threonine are found in skeletal muscle, the heart, and the central nervous system. L-Threonine helps to regulate protein balance in the body and assists in such things as collagen & elastin formation, and antibody production and thymus growth.
