Jarrow Formulas Taurine -- 1000 mg - 100 Caps

Antioxidant Amino Acid with Many Benefits - Aids in Cellular Growth, Sperm Mobility, and Membrane Stabilization

Taurine is a sulfur containing amino acid chemically known as beta-aminoethanesulfonic acid. Taurine is a metabolite of the amino acids methionine and cysteine and is found in most cells. As an antioxidant, taurine is used to quench hypochlorite secreted by leukocyte immune cells. Taurine also aids in osmoregulation (maintenance of proper concentrations of ions) inside the cell. Taurine's other biological functions include cellular growth, membrane stabilization, sperm mobility, bile acid conjugation and neurotransmission. Taurine amy also benefit athletic performance, as it acts as an insulin mimetic, thereby allowing for better glucose deposition into muscles.
