Taurine  (2-Aminoethane sulfonic acid) is a conditionally essential free-form amino acid that is the most abundant free amino acid in many tissues and participates in a variety of metabolic processes.  Taurine is found at high levels in the heart and skeletal muscle, white blood cells, the central nervous system, and is a building block for all other amino acids.

• Works as an ion and pH buffer in the heart and skeletal muscles and central nervous system.


  

• Taurine is instrumental in preventing loss of potassium from heart muscle.


  

• Aids in the digestion of fat, soluble vitamins, and the management of cholesterol levels.


  

• Aids electrolyte balance and proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.


  

• Improves cell volumization and makes muscles appear larger.


  

• Improves anabolic processes and boosts protein synthesis.


  

• Maintains glucose uptake.


  

• May help prevent cataracts.


  

• Taurine works synergistically with any form of Creatine.


  

• May help boost cardiac output in those suffering from congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy.


  

• May help control epileptic seizures, uncontrollable facial twitches, and motor tics.

Taurine is different than most other amino acids because it is not incorporated into proteins but it does play many roles in the body, including bile acid conjugation, detoxification, membrane stabilization, osmoregulation, and modulation of excitatory neurotransmission and intracellular calcium levels. The mean taurine intake in humans is estimated to be around 60 mg daily, but supplementation can far exceed this amount and readily increases taurine levels in many tissues.

Taurine plays a major role in stabilizing the heartbeat and electrical activity of the nerves for the proper functioning of the "sodium/potassium ATP-ase pump" which regulates the ion balance between the cells and the extra-cellular fluid that surrounds them. This critically important "pump" actually uses 7% to 40% of the ATP energy our bodies produce. Taurine is instrumental in preventing loss of potassium from heart muscle.

Taurine is considered nonessential because the body has the ability to produce taurine from cysteine and hypotaurine. Taurine has been found to support the cardiovascular system, liver and brain as well as to maintain cell membrane stability. Taurine is involved in a variety of functions such as retinal photoreceptor activity, bile acid conjugation, white blood cell antioxidant activity, central nervous system neuromodulation, platelet aggregation, cardiac contractility, growth, insulin activity, and osmoregulation. Taurine also mimics the action of Insulin, forcing glucose into cells.

Taurine is listed as an essential element in nutritional treatment of Aging, Crohn's Disease, Depression, Diabetes, and Epilepsy. Very Important for Cirrhosis of the Liver, Environmental Toxicity, Bipolar Disorder, and Meningitis. Important for Cardiovascular Disease, Edema, Fever, Fibromyalgia, and helpful for Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism, Chemical Allergies, Glaucoma, Lyme Disease, Migraine, Obesity, Prostate Cancer, and Skin Cancer.
