L-Taurine 550 mg Description
L-taurine is produced in the body by methionine, cysteine, and vitamin B6.
Women are at higher risk of L-Taurine deficiency, because of the presence of female hormones that restrict the production of L-Taurine within the body.
Vegetarians and particularly vegans are also at higher risk, due to L-Taurine being most commonly found in meat and dairy products, which are not included in their diet.
L-Taurine is responsible for maintaining a normal output of potassium from heart muscle, and an adequate supply may therefore be necessary to guard against heart disease.
L-Taurine contributes to bile production, which works to break down fat within the body. It is also thought that L-Taurine may have benefits for individuals who suffer from diabetes, because it can affect the body’s sugar levels and need for insulin.
L-Taurine has also been used in cases of:
depression,
high blood pressure
cirrhosis of the liver
low sperm count, and motility
short-term memory disorders
Interactions and side effects:
Supplemental use of this amino acid is generally considered to have no adverse side effects or drug interactions.
Warning:
Women who are pregnant or nursing should consult their physicians before adding taurine supplements.
