A brief overview of health benefits:

Taurine supports the cardiovascular and nervous systems and may also support liver and cognitive health.

Why it works:

Taurine is one of the most abundant intracellular amino acids in the body and is produced by the body itself. Made from the amino acid L-cysteine, scientists have described it as "one of the most important substances in the body". Taurine is found in many places in the body, but particularly in the tissues of the central nervous system, where scientists suggest it has a regulatory effect. Studies also suggest it has a cardiovascular and neuroprotective role and may help maintain heart health in some aging people. It may also help support healthy liver function and cognitive health.

However, many diets do not provide enough taurine, so you may need to add this nutrient to your diet.

Product Science:

Even though the body can make taurine on its own, it is still important to ingest it through diet and supplements to achieve better levels of this nutrient [1]. Studies show that this nutrient can defend liver cells from free radicals and toxins, helping to reduce the severity of oxidative stress [1]. It has also been shown to support cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, electrolyte balance, auditory function, and immune modulation [1]. Supplementation of this nutrient strengthens heart muscle cells and promotes damage to retinal and inner ear cells by normalizing the flow of calcium ions they need for proper function [1]. In addition, it promotes healthy vision [1].

Recommended Dosage:

• Take 1 capsule one to three times daily on an empty stomach or as recommended by a physician.

Keep out of the reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician first. This dietary supplement should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
