What is Taurine?
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid. Taurine is naturally occurring in our body, mainly in muscle, brain, heart and blood. A person weighing 70 kg has approximately 70g of taurine distributed throughout the body. Put another way, a 70 kg person naturally has in his body 70 times the amount of taurine contained in one can of Red Bull Energy Drink. Taurine is also contained in the daily diet (scallops, fish, poultry) and in most infant formulae.
Taurine is a non-protein-building amino acid.

“Conditionally essential” means that in some situations or under certain conditions it is necessary to supply the body with taurine. Relative taurine loss via the urine can occur in situations of high stress and physical exertion. In these situations the excretion of taurine via the urine increases and taurine cannot be synthesized in the body in sufficient amounts.

Functions of Taurine in the Human Body

Taurine helps to regulate the body temperature so that you do not get too cold or too hot. Stress-regulation: Recent research also indicates that taurine could play a significant role in stress regulation. Taurine has been shown to increase the performance of the heart. Taurine has been shown to promote detoxification by binding harmful substances and thereby accelerating their excretion
