Pure Taurine - 1000 mg, 120 capsules

Taurine is a versatile amino acid found in dietary protein and is one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. It is most concentrated in the brain, nerves, heart, and retina. The presence of taurine declines as we age, yet it’s considered a semi-essential nutrient. Evidence suggests that supplementation with taurine may support a healthy lifespan.*

• Supports cognitive function and brain health*
• Protects against oxidative stress*
• Boosts exercise performance*
• Supports healthy cardiovascular function*

Supports cognitive function and brain health. Taurine helps support healthy cognition and neurological function through several pathways–by acting as a neurotransmitter and helping to regulate calcium homeostasis, a critical function for the activity of nerve cells. It also helps protect brain cells and support neuronal cell function through its protective defense mechanisms.*

Supports healthy aging and antioxidative status. Clinical studies indicate that taurine may help protect against oxidative stress that occurs during aging. It may help increase levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that supports antioxidant activities in the body.*

Taurine also addresses several key hallmarks of aging. Compelling new evidence suggests that taurine deficiency may be a potential driver of the aging process. Research also suggests it may help protect against telomerase deficiency, play a protective role against DNA damage, and help support mitochondrial integrity.*

Supports exercise performance. Clinical studies combining taurine supplementation with an exercise regimen have demonstrated marked improvements in exercise performance. Taurine may also enhance the known cognitive health benefits of exercise more than exercise alone.*

Supports cardiovascular function. Taurine helps support vascular endothelial integrity through its role in modulating oxidative stress, osmoregulation, endothelial apoptosis, and nitric oxide production. It may also help support healthy cardiac muscle cell function.*
