Taurine

The Amino Acid for Heart, Brain & Energy

A conditionally essential amino acid abundant in the heart, brain, eyes, and muscles that is clinically studied for cardiovascular, neurological, and metabolic health.

What is Taurine Good For?

Taurine plays a vital role in electrolyte balance, bile acid conjugation, mitochondrial function, and calcium signalling. It is especially concentrated in excitable tissues such as the heart, muscles, and brain.

 

Taurine supplementation may lead to:

  • Reduction in cardiovascular risk factors by decreasing triglycerides levels and atherogenic index (triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein ratio)
  • Improvements in diabetes by reducing fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and increasing insulin sensitivity
  • Reduction in inflammatory markers by reducing oxidative stress
  • Improved endurance performance (e.g. running, cycling)
  • Improved memory during cognitive decline (especially in women)

What is Taurine?

Taurine is a sulphur-containing amino acid, though unlike most amino acids, it is not incorporated into proteins. Instead, it exists freely and acts as a regulator in cellular processes such as osmoregulation and antioxidation.

 

While the body can synthesise taurine from cysteine and methionine, requirements may increase during certain conditions and during aging, making supplementation beneficial.

What is the Recommended Daily Dose of Taurine?

Human clinical studies support 1000 mg per day for cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic benefits, with higher doses (up to 3000 mg) used in sports science.
