THREONINE

AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENT

Threonine is an essential amino acid that must be supplied in the equine diet because it cannot be synthesized endogenously. Threonine is important for mucin production in the gut; mucin forms a protective barrier between the gut environment and the cells of the intestinal wall. Threonine supplementation may improve nutrient absorption and help prevent inflammatory conditions in the gut like colitis.

Threonine is a building block of protein and one of the main limiting amino acids in horse diets, along with methionine and lysine. If your horse does not get enough of the rate limiting amino acids in their diet, it can impair protein synthesis and result in immune dysfunction, problems with growth and poor performance.

Providing adequate levels of threonine can support optimal rates of protein synthesis in all cells of the body. This helps ensure that tissues have the structural proteins, enzymes, and immune components that they need for optimal function.
