Vitamin B6 is necessary for taurine conversion, so B6 deficiency can increase dietary taurine requirements. Since taurine is only found in animal protein, vegans may benefit from taurine supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine can cross the blood-brain barrier and functions as an inhibitory (calming) neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It can calm overstimulated nerve cells and protect them from glutamate, which can kill nerve cells under certain conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine aids magnesium transport within cells and helps with calcium absorption. Taurine levels may be too low when noradrenaline and adrenaline are elevated, such as during periods of high stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine generally has a stabilizing function on cell membranes. The retina's photoreceptors require high taurine content to maintain their structure and function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of taurine's fundamental functions appears to be its ability to act as an osmoregulator—helping cells maintain optimal water and salt concentrations. This can be effective for fluid retention and edema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine moderates the flow of positive ions, particularly calcium, through cell membranes. This is especially important in heart muscle, where excessive calcium levels can cause serious damage. Taurine has a dual function: when calcium levels are low, taurine can increase calcium availability to heart muscle cells, enhancing the heart's contractile ability. Taurine can also protect heart muscle cells from the negative effects of excess calcium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of taurine's first identified functions was conjugation with bile acids to form bile salts. Bile salts emulsify dietary fats and make them more water-soluble to facilitate absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Without adequate bile, fat is excreted in stool - a condition called steatorrhea. In the liver, taurine combines with bile salts, making cholesterol more soluble so it can be excreted in stool. This helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine also functions as an antioxidant by inhibiting LDL cholesterol oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine can be found in certain energy drinks, but it's not an energy-boosting compound. It's not used in the body's energy production or as \"muscle fuel.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake 1 capsule, 2-3 times daily or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients per 1 capsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaurine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e500 mg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHypromellose Capsule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e90 capsules\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStore tightly sealed at room temperature, out of reach of children. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGluten Free\u003cbr\u003eDairy Free\u003cbr\u003eNut Free\u003cbr\u003eEgg Free\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALLERGY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePREGNANCY WARNING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERACTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are no known adverse interactions or contraindications at publication date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*\u003cem\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
