Taurine Balance, 120 Caps

Taurine is an essential nutrient for all the cells in the body. It supports optimal water balance, glucose metabolism, and liver function and calms down adrenaline effects.

Studies with taurine supplementation have shown the following benefits:

• May help normalize blood pressure by reducing water retention and reducing adrenaline effects

• Reduces water retention. This may be useful for patients with high insulin, high salt/low potassium diets, PMS or excess estrogen and deficient progesterone.

• Has a calming effect on the brain and can reduce brain seizures by acting on the GABA receptors and reducing adrenaline effects

• May improve insulin function (by increasing insulin sensitivity)

• May reduce heart arrhythmias

• Supports the liver in making bile and by doing so it supports detoxification

• Unlike most drugs, taurine supplementation does not have any side effects.

• Taurine is normally found in seafood and in small amounts in other animal foods but not in any vegetarian foods, so vegetarians may be very deficient.

• High salt diets and high stress may increase the body’s need for taurine.
