Taurine amino acid

Taurine

— a non-essential amino acid that affects the overall functioning of the brain, nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins. It has a strengthening effect on the heart, improves metabolic processes in cells; helps to lower blood sugar, which makes this supplement especially useful for diabetics. From a bodybuilding perspective, taurine is believed to protect muscle tissue from damage during high stress and promote recovery from injury, but this effect is questioned.
