   summary

What is L-Taurine?

L-Taurine is the second most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, after L-Glutamine. It does not actually form muscle tissue, it is simply found within it.

Where to find L-Taurine:

L-Taurine is produced naturally by our bodies, but can also be found in foods such as meat, fish and dairy products.

L-Taurine can also be referred to as:

Taurine

   PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

Why use L-Taurine?

Athletes supplement with L-Taurine for a variety of reasons, including:

Building Muscle — Taurine acts as an insulin mimicker, transporting vital nutrients such as other amino acids and glucose into muscle cells. To this extent taurine is also a very effective cell-volumizer. It ‘Super-Hydrates’ the muscle cells which can trigger increased protein synthesis and reduced protein breakdown; both of which can increase muscle mass and strength.

Enhancing Mental Focus — Taurine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Simply put, it calms the brain and nervous system to help combat stress and anxiety. For a competitive athlete this can have obvious performance benefits.

Prevent Cramping — Taurine aids the movement of important nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium in and out of our cells. Low levels of potassium can cause severe cramping during intense exercise.

   health BENEFITS

Why use L-Taurine?

Improve Brain and Nervous System Function — In its role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, we have seen that Taurine can calm the brain and nervous system thus reducing stress and anxiety. This can be beneficial for anybody who has to deal with stress and anxiety on a daily basis.

Maintain a Healthy Body — Taurine carries out a range of processes that make it an excellent choice of supplement for keeping the body in optimal working order. It is vital for fat digestion, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, helps the immune system in its role of fighting free radicals and has been shown to lower cholesterol levels.

Directions
Serving Size

For athletes we would recommend taking 1-2g, 1-3 times daily. If you are simply looking for the health benefits associated with Taurine then we would recommend a similar dosage.

A BulkPowders.co.uk 1ml measure (level scoop) provides 0.8g of Taurine powder.

Timing

Taurine can be consumed throughout the day. However the optimal times are immediately before and after exercise. Amino Acids can compete for absorption so we would suggest taking Taurine on its own and preferably on an empty stomach.

Synergists

Zinc has been noted as supporting the effects of Taurine.

Safety

Taurine has been well-researched and is a safe supplement.

Toxicity

There is no known toxicity of Taurine.

Bans/Restrictions for Use

As far as we are aware there are no known bans or restrictions in regard to supplementing with Taurine.
