Taurine, a sulfur-containing amino acid and key conditionally essential nutrient, acts in multiple physiological processes.
It regulates central neurotransmitters, aids nerve development, boosts synaptic transmission and cognition. It modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, easing stress anxiety and optimizing sleep. For eyes, as a retinal nutrient, it stabilizes rhodopsin, reducing light-induced fatigue, protecting long-term screen users' vision.
In the cardiovascular system, it regulates cardiomyocyte calcium to enhance contractility, improves vascular function for stable blood pressure, aids bile acid synthesis to promote lipid metabolism, supporting heart health. It also boosts immune activity and antioxidant capacity, accelerating repair.
