Taurine Supports Cardiovascular Health | 90 tab

Each vegetable capsule contains: Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) 500mg, microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable magnesium stearate in a non-GMO vegetable capsule composed of vegetable carbohydrate gum and purified water.

Taurine is found in high concentrations in the brain, retina, and heart, and as a structural compound in specialized blood cells called platelets, which are responsible for clotting. Taurine’s best-known role in humans is its involvement in the formation of bile acid conjugates of taurine in the liver; these acids are essential for the assimilation and absorption of fats. Taurine is an important component of bile, which acts like a soap in helping the body break down fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Recent research further supports taurine’s role as a regulator of nerve and muscle interactions.
Taurine is also used in the formation of other amino acids. It is also an important building block of protein, but is not found as abundantly in animal meat as other amino acids, and must either be synthesized by your body or taken in supplement form if a deficiency is identified. Taurine synthesis requires ʟ-cysteine ​​and vitamin B6, which are not always present in sufficient quantities. Taurine deficiencies can lead to poor brain function.

Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
