Information
Threonine is an essential amino acid, meaning it must be obtained through the diet as the human body cannot synthesize it. It plays a critical role in the formation of proteins and is a key component in the structural proteins collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining the skin's firmness and elasticity. In skincare, threonine is valued for its ability to support skin repair and hydration.
Where does it come from?
Threonine is naturally found in a variety of foods, including meat, dairy products, eggs, leafy vegetables, and nuts. It can also be produced industrially through fermentation processes using specific strains of bacteria. In skincare formulations, threonine is often derived from these natural sources or synthesized through controlled fermentation processes to ensure purity and effectiveness.
Collagen and Elastin Support: Threonine is vital for the production of collagen and elastin, which help maintain skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.
Hydration: It acts as a humectant, helping to attract and retain moisture in the skin, thereby enhancing hydration and preventing dryness.
Skin Repair: Threonine supports the skin's natural repair processes, promoting the healing of wounds and reducing the appearance of scars.
Barrier Function: It helps to strengthen the skin barrier, protecting against environmental damage and preventing moisture loss.
Anti-Aging: By supporting collagen production and maintaining skin hydration, threonine helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful complexion.
