Generally accepted with some debate
"Threonine is an essential amino acid with known roles in protein synthesis and immune function. However, supplementation benefits are primarily observed in specific cases like deficiency or high physical stress. General benefits for the average person are less pronounced."
Threonine is an essential amino acid that your body can't produce on its own, so you need to obtain it from your diet or supplements. It's important for protein synthesis, which is involved in muscle repair, collagen formation, and immune function. Supplementation might be helpful if you're deficient or have high physical demands.
