Taurine is an amino acid, which is not used in protein synthesis, but is found free in most tissues.
Taurine helps move potassium, magnesium and sodium, components that are key to brain and heart function. It is known as a neurotransmitter enhancer and protects the brain. Clinical studies indicate that taurine strengthens the myocardium and therefore helps prevent heart failure and arrhythmias.
In contrast, taurine deficiency leads to a decrease in nitric oxide production, which causes a decrease in blood (and oxygen) flow to the muscles.
Taurine is important for the body's fat metabolism. It is an essential component of bile, necessary for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and for the regulation of serum cholesterol levels, while it is related to the regulation of insulin in the body. It also protects the eyes from reducing the oxidative damage of sunlight and stimulates the body's immune system.
Taurine has been suggested as a potential treatment for epilepsy, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, alcoholism, cystic fibrosis and Alzheimer's disease.
