Overview

Threonine is an essential amino acid, which means that the body requires it, and it must be obtained from the diet as it is not naturally produced.

For skincare products, the usefulness has not been thoroughly established. It is believed that threonine plays an important role in the synthesis of collagen in the skin, and therefore, when used in skincare products, the production of collagen is stimulated.

However, more research is needed in order to confirm or deny these claims.
