Taurine

Encourage the health and functions of multiple systems throughout the body with Swanson Taurine. This amino acid supports cardiovascular health, athletic performance and more by helping to maintain electrolyte balance throughout the body. Electrolyte balance impacts your daily health regardless of activity level—maintaining healthy levels of important minerals such as sodium, calcium and potassium is needed to promote healthy bones and arteries.Your body also needs taurine for optimal digestive health, nervous system function and eye health. An effective antioxidant, taurine supports the body's defense systems, helps maintain mitochondrial health and promotes integrity of cell membranes, all key aspects of longevity and healthy aging. It has been studied for its potential to support aspects of heart and metabolic wellness such as maintaining healthy blood sugar and blood lipid levels, as well as blood vessel health and blood flow.A conditionally essential amino acid, your body can produce some taurine. However since it is commonly found in animal proteins, those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet may need supplemental taurine. It can also be depleted during times of high stress. We recommend taking your taurine supplement on an empty stomach for better bioavailability. You may also consider taking it alongside a BCAA supplement for enhanced muscle recovery potential.
