Taurine Science & Benefits

Taurine is a natural biochemical that functions in electrically active tissues, such as the heart and brain, to help stabilize cell membranes.  Taurine functions as an antioxidant and detoxifier for blood vessels and even the eyes.  Taurine aids in the transport of sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium across the cell membrane - resulting in controlling nerve impulses.  Understandably, Taurine is found in tissues of the central nervous system and muscle proteins; with the highest concentrations in tissues within the brain and the heart (approximately 50% of the amino acid proteins within the heart).  Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid naturally synthesized with the amino acid cysteine using vitamin B6 as a coenzyme catalyst.  When there are deficiencies in either vitamin B6 or the essential amino acid cysteine (or both) through poor nutrition, it can lead to symptoms of poor coordination and cardiovascular problems.  Taurine is high in meat and fish.
