Taurine

Taurine is an essential amino acid, improves fat digestion and stabilizes blood calcium levels. It supports the activity of the nervous system and faster transfer of carbohydrates to muscle cells. This means that it helps to increase concentration, coordination of movements and physical performance under stress.

Taurine is important for proper brain and nervous system function. It plays a role in the regulation of neurotransmitters and is involved in processes related to the storage and release of neurotransmitters such as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). It also has antioxidant effects and protects brain cells from damage. It has positive effects on cognitive functions such as memory, learning and attention. It helps reduce anxiety and depression.

Taurine helps to reduce blood pressure, supports the heart muscle and improves heart function. It also has anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant properties. It is part of various metabolic processes in the body. It plays a role in the digestion and utilization of fats, supports normal liver function, and regulates blood sugar levels. Taurine also helps in the production of bile acids, which are essential for the emulsification of fats in the digestive system.

Taurine is present in high concentrations in the retina of the eye. It plays a role in maintaining eye health and protecting against damage caused by free radicals.
