Taurine Taurine 500mg 100 capsules NOW FOODS

Taurine is an amino acid formed from methionine and cysteine. It is a so-called non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not a component of body proteins but is essential in their conversion processes. The human body produces small amounts of taurine, which is insufficient for those who exercise.

Like glutamine, taurine stores nitrogen in the body. It has a buffering effect on blood pH, reduces the intensity of protein breakdown, has an anti-catabolic effect, and significantly improves muscle tone.
During exercise, the body produces and releases excessive amounts of serotonin, a hormone that causes catabolic reactions in the muscles. Taurine reduces the production of this hormone. The reduced amount of serotonin produced means the body doesn't feel fatigued and can exercise much longer, with a limited amount of catabolic muscle processes.
When the body is subjected to physical exertion, taurine maintains a high concentration of calcium ions in nerve cells and muscles, acts insulin-like on carbohydrate metabolism - lowering blood sugar levels.
