| Taurine 500mg
Overview
Taurine is a non-essential, sulfur containing amino acid that is manufactured from cysteine in the body. It is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body and is found in the muscles and nervous system. Taurine participates in many metabolic processes and is involved in glucose uptake. As such, it helps maintain a healthy weight. Taurine is concentrated in parts of the body that have the most electrical activity, for example, the eye, brain and heart. It is the most abundant amino acid in the heart, helping to regulate contraction and pumping action of the heart muscle. In a recent study conducted on patients with congestive heart failure, there was significant improvement in heart function on the patients that were given Taurine. Additionally, Taurine may support healthy blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglyceride levels as well. It is vital to the regulation of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium. Taurine is considered a neurotransmitter, and may therefore support a healthy mood.
