Life Extension - Taurine

SUPPORTS A HEALTHY CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM & MORE

What are the benefits of taurine? It is one of the most abundant amino acids within the human body and is thus recognized as being one of the absolute most essential substances in the human body. Taurine is also considered to be helpful in regulating the central nervous system and has also been shown to have cardiovascular and neuroprotective properties as well. 

A lot of clinical studies have been conducted on taurine over the years and all of them have shown that it has widespread benefits. In humans, it is found in the large intestine but as we age, our natural production of taurine markedly declines. For that reason, supplementation with taurine has been shown to support vital things for our health such as improved insulin sensitivity and utilization of glucose as well as minerals including calcium, which is important for maintaining normal bone health. Other very important bodily functions such as the stability of cell membranes and balance of water (scientifically known as “osmoregulation”), the formation of bile salt, proper functioning of the liver, eyes and heart as well as cognitive function and neuron integrity are all things that taurine has been shown to support as well.
