Taurine supports neuronal development, helps regulate the level of water and mineral salts in the blood, regulates cardiac activity and prevents the degradation of eye tissues.

Taurine is the most important intracellular conditioned essential amino acid. Under conditions of intense physical exertion, the body can no longer produce enough taurine. Taurine is synthesized in the body from the amino acids cysteine ​​and methionine in the presence of vitamin B6; does not take part in protein synthesis, is water soluble, is found in high concentrations in the heart muscle, skeletal muscle, leukocytes, platelets, gallbladder, kidneys, retina, thymus, adrenal glands, mucous membranes (especially digestive tract), salivary glands and nervous system central (four times more in children's brains than in adults').

Taurine is a powerful antioxidant, present in large quantities in the retina. Taurine deficiency has been associated with retinal damage and impaired vision. Specialists explain the phenomenon by the fact that this amino acid improves the activity of rod and cone cells in the eye, which acts as visual receptors. As we age, the rod and cone cells near the optic nerve deteriorate and die progressively, so the visual acuity decreases. In time, some people go blind. The phenomenon is more common in those who suffer from diabetes and in those who have been exposed without protection to ultraviolet light. But the antioxidant power of taurine and the protection it provides to cells offset the negative effects of diabetes and ultraviolet radiation on eye tissue.

Every day, your heart beats about 100,000 times, and the effort of the heart muscle is huge throughout life. To the permanent wear and tear given by the continuous activity is added that produced by aging. This leads to changes in performance in the activity of the heart. This can result in problems such as palpitations, insufficient heart muscle contracture, heart failure and an increased risk of death due to heart disease. Taurine increases the contraction force of the heart muscle, ensuring better blood circulation through the arteries and better oxygenation of tissues, so it is indicated in the prevention of heart disease. Moreover, some animal studies have shown that due to its antioxidant effect, taurine prevents the formation of cholesterol deposits on the walls of arteries.





 

Taurine Benefits

 

• maintaining the structure, permeability and polarization of the cell membrane (maintains the osmotic balance between the concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in the body), positively influencing cellular processes, such as nerve impulse conduction and cardiac muscle contraction
• promoting the growth and differentiation of normal neuronal cells
• supporting the increase of the capacity of concentration and memory and maintaining the quality and duration of sleep
• maintaining normal blood pressure by vasodilating action; supports the reduction of angiotensin levels and promotes the action of kallikrein, the enzyme that supports the synthesis of bradykinin (a strong endogenous vasodilator compound, with a role in muscle contraction)
• supporting the integrity of the retina and of the photoreceptors located at eye level due to the presence at this level of taurine-dependent transporters
• supporting the body's cell structure against the action of free radicals by maintaining the level of superoxide dismutase (provides support in limiting the action of homocysteine, which reduces the enzyme superoxide dismutase) and by supporting the reduction of hypochlorite (one of the oxygen free radicals)
• supporting the body's recovery after physical effort and surgery (provides support in increasing the volume of muscle fiber and reducing the intensity of muscle cramps
