Taurine is a free-form conditionally essential amino acid that participates in a variety of metabolic processes. Taurine is not utilized in protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system. Taurine is a neurotransmitter and a neuromodulator well known for its role in the modulation of neurotransmitter activity and its relaxing effect on the mood. Taurine has been found to be important in the formation of bile salts, cell membrane stabilization, glucose uptake, and eye health. It is a component of bile acids, which are used to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Taurine also helps regulate the heart beat and prevent brain cell over-activity.
