L-serine is classified as a non essential amino acid. The body can synthesize sufficient amounts of L-serine to meet its daily needs.

Recent research has shown that L-serine and products of its metabolism are essential for cell proliferation and specific functions of the central nervous system. The findings of altered levels of serine and glycine in patients with psychiatric disorders underscore the importance of L-serine in brain development and function.
