HiTec Taurine, 100 Capsules

Taurine is a non-essential amino acid that the body can make itself from the amino acids methionine and cysteine with the assistance of vitamin B6. Taurine is classified as the most basic building block of many types of proteins. It is also essential in the digestion of fats and the absorption of the fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins formed.

It makes up 50% of the free amino acids of the heart - it affects blood pressure, heart muscle and reduces atherosclerosis of the heart arteries. Its deficiency causes damage to heart muscle. Taurine is found in meat, not in plant foods. The richest sources of taurine are animal foods (mostly meat and fish) and cereal sprouts. Taurine is also found in various energy and stimulant drinks, sports gels and bars.

TAURINE EFFECTS

TAURINE strongly limits the breakdown of muscle tissue in catabolic conditions such as: weight loss or intense physical exertion. TAURIN increases the synthesis and secretion of anabolic hormones and decreases the synthesis of serotonin, thus limiting fatigue produced during training.
It is involved in the metabolism and digestion of fats, has beneficial effects on cholesterol levels. It is involved in the production of sperm and bile. It regulates the steady level of calcium in the blood. Taurine is said to be able to rid the body of toxins and participate in the detoxification of various drugs. This is also why its sufficient intake is important.

It supports brain and heart function and improves concentration, it participates in metabolic processes in the brain where it influences the release of neurotransmitters, so it is a stimulant of nerve activity and accelerates the transmission of nerve excitement (for example, transmission of excitement to a muscle fibre = acceleration of reaction). In the developing fetus, taurine is practically the most important neurotransmitter in the brain.

In general, taurine helps to optimize blood flow to the brain, tone the body, increase concentration, physical performance, reaction speed and prepare the body for increased stress with an overall sense of well-being. Taurine protects the brain from the neurotoxic effects of other amino acids, such as glutamate and aspartic acid (aspartate) in particular. It thus protects nerve cells from damage. In one study, children with autism were found to have reduced levels of taurine in their blood compared to children of the same age.

WHO IS TAURINE FOR?

Taurine is a suitable supplement not only for athletes, but also for people who need to support their heart function, also where cholesterol plays a bad role, it is also suitable for smokers. It will be suitable before pregnancy, but also when breastfeeding. It has been suggested to be beneficial for the elderly, for children with autism, for memory problems in general, for concentration disorders, also for students and for vision problems.

TAURINE AS AN "INSULIN MIMICKER"

From a sporting point of view, taurine is very interesting because of its function as an "insulin mimicker" (mimicking the function of the highly anabolic hormone insulin, under the influence of which energy and amino acids circulating in the blood enter the muscle cells). So there is an improved recovery of the organism after a hard workout and an increase in muscle mass and strength.

THE METABOLIC PROCESS OF TAURINE

It occurs in the body as a separate amino acid and is never incorporated into the muscles. The taurine molecule is water soluble and therefore does not pass easily through most fatty membranes of body cells, but is found in all membranes.

It regulates fluid levels in the muscles by "pulling" glucose and amino acids into the muscle cells. Its effect can be likened to that of insulin, i.e. it actually acts anabolically, supporting, bulking and giving strength to the muscle, but without lowering blood sugar levels.

In addition, taurine regulates the concentration of calcium in the muscle cell, which ensures its stronger contraction and more productive work. TAURINE stimulates the transport of nutrients into muscle cells and, as an amino sulfonic acid, protects cells from damage caused by "free radicals".
