THREONINE
Threonine is another essential amino acid, which means that to satisfy our body's needs we need to obtain it from the food we eat as our body can't manufacture it. In the body it is needed to make amino acids glycine and serine (proteinogenic amino acid), which are responsible for production of collagen, muscle tissue and elastine.

Threonine is found in high amounts in the heart and central nervous system, and it is believed to be useful in treatment of depression. It plays important role in immune system function, as it participate in production of antibodies.
