What is it?

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 tautness and elasticity. In skincare, threonine is valued for its ability to support skin repair and hydration.

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 tautness 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.
