Taurine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body and is found in many foods. It’s considered semi-essential or conditionally essential because it’s derived from cysteine like other amino acids but lacks a carboxyl group. Instead, it contains a sulfide group and can be called an amino sulfonic acid.
Introduction to chronic inflammation
Recent studies show chronic inflammation may be the greatest contribution to disease, or a cornerstone for the development of cardiovascular disease. Other major heath factors include pollution, environmental stresses, drugs, excess food consumption and obesity. Obesity is a major contribution to negative health outcomes. Managing a health body mass is crucial in over health. Taurine may help heart health and enhance endothelial function, which may significantly reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. Taurine accounts for 50% of the total free amino acids in the heart, and it’s been shown to enhance cardiac contractility and improve heart function.
Taurine is abundant in skeletal muscle, but the largest benefit of taurine is glucose and lipid regulation, energy metabolism, anti-inflammatory modulation and antioxidant action. Taurine may also aid in athletic performance such as muscle repair and cardiovascular improvements.
