Taurine
- Taurine is a conditionally-essential[1] organic acid derived from the amino acid cysteine. if sufficient cysteine is available, it can be synthesised in the pancreas[2].
- Taurine calms the nervous system - behaving more like a neurotransmitter[2].
- Vegetarians and Vegans can be deficient in Taurine[2].
- Lack of Taurine leads to to chronic anxiety[2].
- Taurine is highly effective antioxidant. Use in conjunction with Omega-3 seems recommended [2].
- Improves mood and sleep. Taurine raises GABA[2].
Taurine: Heart Health
Questions
- It is known that athletes/resistance trainees will deplete this nutrient[2]. Would excessive sweating cause the same?
- Derived from Cysteine. What is the interaction/effect of combination with N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC)?
- Some people may have issues producing Taurine[2]? "...this assumes an error in inborn metabolism impairing one's ability to synthesis taurine. The average human would not need to worry about outright taurine deficiency and its clinical manifestations." [1]
Research
- Carnitine: essential for fat burning and works synergistic ally with Taurine. Taurine is required in the initial phase of fat metabolism, and carnitine takes fat into the cell [for use?].[2].
