Life Extension, taurine, 1,000 mg

Description

The amino acid taurine is known to support heart health. But taurine has a range of health benefits, from promoting cell membrane stability to encouraging healthy nervous system function.

Taurine supports heart health, also helps maintain already healthy blood pressure and blood glucose levels, promotes a healthy response to insulin, and more.

Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. It is found in most tissues, including the heart, liver, kidneys, and brain. The presence of taurine throughout the body is associated with a wide range of health benefits, particularly for the heart and cardiovascular system. It also encourages bile salt production in the liver.

Taurine and nervous system health

Taurine is particularly concentrated in excitable tissues of the central nervous system. It plays an important neuroprotective role, in part through its ability to maintain water and electrolyte balance across cell membranes, inhibit oxidative processes, and promote a healthy inflammatory response. Taurine also helps promote healthy cognitive function and retinal health.

Taurine and muscle health

Taurine supports skeletal muscle health and has been shown to support physical performance and help maintain muscle mass and function as we age. Evidence indicates that taurine supports healthy aging and promotes longevity.
