Taurine has a myriad of uses in the body. Because it is able to cross the blood-brain-barrier, Taurine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, calming over-excited neurons and neurological symptoms, protecting against glutamate toxicity, aiding in magnesium intracellular transport. It helps with the absorption of calcium and is also essential in helping the body form the bile salts sodium taurocholate and sodium taurochenodeoxycholate, important for digestion. Taurine is part of normal adipose tissue regulation in the body. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
