Description: Taurine is an amino acid but is an exception to other amino acids as it performs its function as a separate entity not as a component of protein. Generally amino acids are components of proteins and are generally strung together like links on a chain to form proteins.
Taurine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and it is water soluble and occurs in the body as a free molecule and not incorporated into muscle proteins. Taurine can be obtained from our diet. It is also produced by a combination of cysteine, methionine and vitamin C, but low amounts of these substances can in turn lead to Taurine deficiency. In conditions of high stress or in disease states the need for Taurine increases and supplementation should be essential.Vegetarians are susceptible to low Taurine levels as well as those suffering from cardiovascular concerns, diabetes, poor liver and kidney function.Other conditions of concern are; hypertension, seizure disorders, forms of heart disease, congestive heart failure, bile production, macular degeneration, retinal damage. Optimal Taurine levels decline with aging. Taurine supplementation is suggested regardless of the diet as Taurine has a multitude of general health benefitsin these areas:as an important component of bile acids for digestion which are used to absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins, maintaining the stability of cell membranes, transporting calcium in and out of cells, regulating brain cell activity, and protecting from oxidative cellular stress by being neuro-protective, as an anti-convulsant amino acid it may help with epilepsy, as an ocular anti-oxidant especially in the retina, as a protective measure against macular degeneration as it is known to enhance the rods and cones and the pigmented epithelial cells in the retina of the eye that serve as visual receptor cells, as a heart beat regulator by enhancing the contractile strength of the heart muscle, as a glucose tolerance facilitator by increasing the action of insulin, for decreasing muscle damamge during intense exercise and helps muscles work harder and longer, as a regulator of calcium flow in the middle ear hairs that convert sound waves into electrical energy which the brain then interprets as sound preventing tinnitus and hearing loss. Taurine is found in eggs, dairy products, fish and red meat.
