Taurine is a conditionally essential, sulfur-containing amino acid and
the most abundant amino acid in the heart. Taurine supplementation has
been shown to benefit the production of nitric oxide in the vascular
endothelium, which is essential to optimal blood flow, maintaining
already normal blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular function.*
Taurine also acts as an antioxidant by inhibiting LDL cholesterol
oxidation.* In the liver, taurine is combined with bile acids, which
results in increased cholesterol solubility and excretion, thus helping
to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.* Taurine's involvement in bile
acid formation facilitates fat digestion, fluid regulation,
detoxification of environmental toxins, regulation of cellular calcium,
and regulation of nerve excitability.* A taurine-deficient individual
can be more susceptible to tissue damage from environmental pollutants
such as aldehydes, chlorine, and amines.*
