THREOSTAT (L-Threonine)

Description

NDC: 53335-101-12 (capsule), 53335-092-29 (powder)

Weight: 4 Oz

L-Threonine is an essential amino acid containing an alcohol group, which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through the diet. It plays a vital role in porphyrin metabolism alongside glycine and serine, contributing to hemoglobin and other critical molecules. L-Threonine supports proper protein balance, exhibits lipotropic action to aid fat metabolism, and enhances central nervous system function. It is also essential for the formation of collagen and elastin, promoting skin and connective tissue health, and provides nutritional support for neurological conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Research underscores its importance in protein synthesis and metabolic regulation (e.g., Rose et al. 1951).

L-Threonine is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to maintain tissue integrity, support neurological health, or optimize protein metabolism under dietary constraints. Manufactured using premium pharmaceutical-grade materials in a GMP-approved facility in the USA, L-Threonine is free of fillers, binders, or coloring agents, with no known side effects when used as directed.

Directions: Take 1-3 capsules daily or as advised by your healthcare provider. Pair with vitamins and minerals; GPD’s MVM (Multivitamin) is recommended. Powder equivalent: 1/4 level teaspoon per capsule.

Key Benefits

• Supports Protein Balance: Essential for metabolic regulation.
• Promotes Connective Tissue Health: Aids collagen and elastin formation.
• Enhances Neurological Function: Supports central nervous system.

Additional Information The following points provide insight into L-Threonine’s plasma levels and their association with various health conditions, reflecting its role in metabolism:

• Normal Range: 100-200 µmol/L (approximate clinical range).
• Conditions Associated with Low Levels:
  • Malnutrition or protein deficiency (inadequate intake)
  • Vegetarian or plant-based diets (limited threonine sources)
  • Neurological disorders (e.g., ALS, increased demand)
• Conditions Associated with High Levels:
  • Excessive supplementation (from overdosage or dietary excess)
  • Liver dysfunction (impaired threonine metabolism)
  • Hyperthreoninemia (rare genetic disorder)
• Notes: L-Threonine is an essential amino acid critical for protein balance, collagen/elastin synthesis, and central nervous system function, with a role in porphyrin metabolism. It offers nutritional support for ALS and MS patients and aids fat metabolism. Low levels may indicate dietary deficiencies or neurological stress, while high levels can result from supplementation or metabolic disorders. These associations are correlative and require further research for causal confirmation. For more technical information, please click here.
