TwinLab - Mega Taurine Caps, 1000 mg, 50 capsules
High concentrations of taurine are found in the heart muscle, white blood cells, skeletal muscle, and central nervous system. Taurine is a building block of all the other amino acids as well as a key component of bile, which is needed for the digestion of fats, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and the control of serum cholesterol levels. Taurine is useful for atherosclerosis, edema, heart disorders, hypertension, or hypoglycemia. It is vital for the proper utilization of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. It helps to prevent cardiac arrhythmias. Taurine also has a protective effect on the brain and helps with anxiety, epilepsy, hyperactivity, poor brain function, and seizures. The body can synthesize taurine from cysteine in the liver and methionine provided enough Vitamin B6 is present. Taurine is found in proteins, but not vegetable proteins.
