WHAT DOES IT DO? According to the manufacturer: Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid produced from
cysteine by the body. It is found abundantly in the body, particularly
throughout the excitable tissues of the central nervous system, where it is
thought to have a regulating influence. Taurine can promote optimal blood flow
to nerves. It also appears to play an important role in many physiological
processes, such as osmoregulation, immunomodulation and bile salt formation.151
Recent studies suggested that taurine might have neuro- and cardio-protective
properties and provide protection against oxidative stress.151-154
Taurine is also critical for maintaining cardiac health in certain aging
individuals. Dietary taurine may help maintain healthy liver function.155
However, it is deficient in many diets.156-162" CAUTIONS The usual cautions regarding pregnancy and lactation apply. See Disclaimer.
DOSE Take one capsule one to four times daily on an empty stomach, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
NHC sells
bottles of 50 capsules of Taurine 1000 mg for $6.71. The
suggested retail price is $8.95. The manufacturer prohibits further discount of
