Now Foods Taurine Powder 227g

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilized for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system. It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.

The main roles of taurine in your body are :

• maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance in your cells
• forming bile salts, which play an important role in digestion
• regulating minerals such as calcium within your cells
• supporting the general function of your central nervous system and eyes
