Taurine

Wealth By Health® Taurine is an essential amino acid found throughout the nervous system. It has multiple functions—strengthening and protecting heart muscle cells, improving blood flow throughout the body, and protecting the vision and hearing. In the tissue, taurine stabilizes cell membranes and transports potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells. It promotes proper muscle function and regulates nerve impulses. This essential amino acid also works with glycine and GABA together as a neurotransmitter.
