Taurine

• Supports cardiovascular function.

Description

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays many roles in promoting health. Food sources of taurine are meat and seafood, especially shellfish such as mussels, clams and oysters. Those who do not regularly consume these foods, especially vegetarians, may be at risk of taurine deficiency. The scientific community has not yet reached a consensus on whether humans make enough taurine through their own metabolism to meet their needs. In addition, high levels of homocysteine are a sign that the body may have difficulty making taurine. Since taurine is essential for heart and immune function as well as glucose metabolism and nervous system health, low taurine levels should be addressed with dietary changes and/or supplementation.

Dosage

Adults: Take 2 to 3 capsules once daily, or as recommended by a healthcare professional.
