Now Double Strength Taurine

Now Double Strength Taurine is a concentrated source of an extremely versatile free form amino acid. Taurine is different than other amino acids in its structure and isn’t used to build proteins. However, it is used throughout your body and it particularly important to the nervous system. Taurine helps your nervous system send chemical signals and is especially valued for its relaxing, anxiety reducing power.

Here’s a quick overview of the other functions taurine performs throughout the body. It’s an important component of bile salts, which help your body process fat. Taurine is an antioxidant and also gives some protection against certain toxins, like lead. It’s also important for maintaining eye health and is required for normal muscle function. Taurine isn’t found in vegetable proteins, making supplementation extremely important for vegetarians.

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid which is not utilized for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system. It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes, aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and aids in the maintenance of fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.
