Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is not used for protein synthesis but plays a crucial role in various physiological processes. It is found abundantly in the brain, retina, heart, and blood cells called platelets. Taurine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that while the body can produce it, certain conditions and stages of life may require additional dietary intake.

  Supplemental Benefits of Taurine:

Heart Health: Lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol levels, and improves overall cardiovascular function.

Exercise Performance: Increases endurance, reduces muscle damage, and accelerates recovery.

Neurological Health:  Protects against neurotoxicity, supports cognitive function, and improves mood.

Liver Health and Detoxification: Conjugates bile acids, aiding in fat digestion and detoxification processes.

  Forms and dosage:

Taurine Free Form /L-Taurine (or just-Taurine): Refers to taurine that is in its pure, unbound state, not attached to other molecules or compounds. This form is directly bioavailable, meaning it can be readily absorbed and utilized by the body without needing to be broken down or converted. Both L-Taurine and Taurine refer to the same amino acid that offers various health benefits.

    Daily dose: 500 – 2000 mg
