Andrew Lessman's TAURINE 600 is a pure, high potency source of the amino acid Taurine, which is best described as the most important amino acid you likely have never heard of. Taurine is found in all body tissues and there is virtually no organ or system that is not positively impacted by its presence. Taurine's is most highly concentrated in critical tissues of the heart, blood cells, muscles, brain, liver, ear and retina of the eye. Taurine provides protective, stabilizing benefits to cell membranes throughout the body supporting the management and movement of essential ions, such as Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium. Taurine supports heart and cardiovascular health through numerous mechanisms. Taurine also provides protective benefits to the hard-working tissues of the liver. Taurine has been recognized for the protective benefits it provides to the retina of the eye and the delicate structures of the ear. Given its diverse benefits, it is not surprising that population studies have associated Taurine intake with healthy longevity. Taurine's best sources are meat and seafood; however, even a typical diet rich in those foods only provides low levels of Taurine making supplementation the best means of achieving its many benefits. Taurine may be the least known of amino acids, but that will likely not last long given its long list of unique and exceptional benefits.
