Serine is a non-essential amino acid which is required for the metabolism of fat and tissue growth.
It is also required for the immune system where it assists in the production of antibodies and immunoglobulins (these are the substances that help our body fight disease and toxins).
- The production of serine requires adequate amounts of vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), and folic acid
