\r\n A non-essential amino acid, derived from cysteine, TAURINE is a member \r\n of the amino acids <\/strong>sulfur.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n Discovered in 1827 in bull bile by two Austrian researchers F. \r\n Tiedermann and L. Gmelin, it plays a major role in the brain \r\n (neurotransmitter) and other electrically excitable tissues (heart, \r\n muscles, bladder, retina, vascular system).\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n It is therefore found in large quantities in the brain (olfactory bulb \r\n and hippocampus), heart, muscles and retina.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n It is also involved in lipid digestion by increasing hepatic fat \r\n metabolism. It stimulates the formation of taurocholate (bile acid) \r\n which increases the excretion of cholesterol by the bile.\r\n <\/p>\r\n

\r\n MAIN EFFECTS\r\n <\/h2>\r\n
    \r\n
  • \r\n Protects the retina<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Fights macular degeneration <\/strong>and other serious eye diseases\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Strengthens the heart muscle<\/strong>(contractility)\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Decreases blood pressure<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Antiarrhythmic<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Strengthens the detoxification function of the liver<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Enhances the elimination of cholesterol<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Indispensable for the absorption of fats<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Antioxidant<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Tranquilizer<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Anti-epileptic effect<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Decreases lactic acid accumulation<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n
  • \r\n Enhances sperm mobility<\/strong>\r\n <\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n
