Sponsor's own description

Threonine is an indispensable amino acid (nutrient containing nitrogen), which cannot be made in the body and must be consumed from food. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in your body, and need to be eaten in required amounts to maintain health and growth. Deficiency in threonine can affect small intestine growth due to its structural importance in the intestinal protein mucin. While threonine is found in many foods, deficiency can occur in developing countries where nutrition is primarily plant based, and low in available protein. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the requirement of the indispensable amino acid Threonine, in school-aged children (6-10y). Secondly, we wish to determine the availability of threonine from three test proteins (soy, green pea, casein).
