Our recommendation for a standard dose of consumption is half a teaspoon once or twice a day.

What is taurine?

Taurine is an amino acid. It occurs naturally in our bodies and is found primarily in the brain, eyes, heart, and muscle tissues. Amino acids are widely known as the building blocks of muscles. However, taurine is an exception.

Taurine is what is classified as a conditionally essential amino acid. There are 20 amino acids, the body only produces 11 of them. The other nine amino acids are called essential amino acids. We must get these essential amino acids in our diet. There are also what scientists classify as conditionally essential amino acids. This means we need these amino acids only under specific conditions.

Conditionally essential amino acids become necessary when we are fighting an illness or under stress. Taurine falls into this category. While it is an essential amino acid, it is one that we only need under specific conditions.

Our bodies can produce taurine, but may people require supplemental taurine for specific reasons. People with heart disease or diabetes, for example, benefit from taking taurine supplements. Taurine is also added to a formula specifically made for premature babies since it is taurine that is fundamental to fetal brain development.

Does your eyes and ears good

Research in has suggested that taurine may help resolve tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and, in some cases, it may even be able to improve hearing. Taurine may prevent the hair cells within the ear from becoming damaged, which is a key contributor to hearing loss.

 

According to a 2014 reviewTrusted Source, taurine is the most plentiful amino acid in the retina of the eye and helps protect against retinal degeneration.

The review also states that reduced amounts of taurine may play a role in eye disorders, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The research suggests that doctors should consider taurine as a potential treatment for these conditions. However, scientists have yet to conduct the necessary clinical trials.A study suggested taurine could be a serious candidate for treating eye disorders like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy because low levels of taurine seem to influence these types of diseases.Taurine’s antioxidant effects may help combat the oxidative stress associated with retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.
