Nervous System Health Healthy Visual Function Non-GMO A Dietary Supplement Vegetarian/Vegan Kosher Amino Acids Family Owned Since 1968 GMP Quality Assured Halal Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilised for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system. It functions in tissues by stabilising cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.
