Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid, which is not used in protein synthesis, but is found free in most tissues. Taurine helps the movement of potassium, magnesium, and sodium, components that are key for brain and heart function.
Taurine is known for providing support to neurotransmitters and its protective effect on the brain.
Studies have shown that taking L-Taurine supplements can help strengthen the heart muscles and, therefore, regulate blood pressure and prevent heart failure and arrhythmias.
Because taurine plays such an important role in muscle maintenance, taurine supplements are believed to be beneficial for bodybuilders. A study showed that taurine deficiency leads to a decrease in nitric oxide production, which in turn causes a reduction in blood flow (and oxygen) to the muscles. Taurine is also important for the metabolism of body fats.
It is a key component of bile and is essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and for regulating serum cholesterol levels, while it is also associated with the regulation of insulin in the body. Studies have also shown that it protects the eyes from the oxidative damage caused by sunlight and stimulates the body's immune system. It has also been proposed as a possible treatment for epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, alcoholism, cystic fibrosis, and Alzheimer's.
