Taurine is an amino acid that is abundant in electrically excitable tissues such as the heart, retina, brain, and muscles. It’s important in energy metabolism, brain function, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions. It has been shown to improve endurance exercise performance and increases muscle force. Taurine improves mitochondrial function and increases the use of fat for fuel. It also lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow by improving the efficiency of muscle and heart contractions.*
