Description

Taurine is an amino acid found in the body.

Taurine is what’s known as a conditionally essential (or semi-essential) amino acid, meaning it can be made by the body… most of the time. Newborns need to get their taurine from breastmilk or a supplemented formula until they’ve developed enough to produce their own. At the other end of the spectrum, aging also reduces the body’s ability to produce enough taurine.

People lacking certain nutrients and/or enzymes may not be able to make their own taurine, and need a supplement to boost levels. Supplementing with taurine is also used to treat a range of health conditions including cardiovascular disease, migraines, insomnia, macular degeneration and many others.
