Serine
Serine is a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis, brain function, and metabolic regulation.
Serine is a dietary and endogenously produced amino acid crucial for protein synthesis, neuronal health, and involvement in several metabolic pathways. Supplementation has shown promise in neurological and metabolic conditions, though clinical use should be individualized and monitored.
Most evidence derives from mechanistic and small human studies, with clinical research ongoing in specific conditions.
Neurological Support (e.g., ALS, cognitive health)
LimitedL-serine supplementation may slow progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and support neuronal health, likely by reducing neurotoxicity and preserving motor neurons.
Adjunctive Mental Health Support (Schizophrenia)
ModerateD-serine, a stereoisomer of serine, can improve negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia when used with standard treatments, enhancing NMDA receptor activity.
Metabolic and Immune Support
LimitedSerine plays a role in one-carbon metabolism, DNA synthesis, and immune system function, potentially supporting metabolic homeostasis and immune response.
