There has been a lot of talk about taurine lately. This amino acid is called a biological ambulance, and is being actively used. There is a reason – the range of benefits of taurine is huge. Taurine protects the body and raises the quality of life to a completely different level. This amino acid acts as an antioxidant and fights oxidative stress and cellular aging. Additionally, taurine is needed to support heart, eye, thyroid, brain, and central nervous system health.
“The human body itself is capable of producing taurine, it’s a different matter whether it is in sufficient quantities,” comments the head of the health center, doctor Elena Voronchuk. — We partially obtain taurine from food. This is a very important amino acid – it not only normalizes blood pressure, but also regulates carbohydrate, bile and fat metabolism, improves energy processes at the cellular level. Protects the liver from damage, which is especially important after various types of holidays. Taurine is sometimes called a youth regulator.
Taurine revitalizes dehydrated, tired and aging skin. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, this ingredient has been proven to restore important functions of the dermis, slow down the aging process and reduce even deep wrinkles.
Scientists do not fully understand the role of taurine in energy processes and cell biochemistry, but an experiment was conducted on mice. When mice were fed a daily taurine solution, their lifespan increased by 12% in females and 10% in males compared to mice in control groups.
Mice given taurine became healthier: they had increased endurance and strength, decreased anxiety, and strengthened their immune systems. Then the researchers began adding taurine to the food of worms and elderly macaques – they also became healthier and lived longer. Taurine reduced cellular aging, reduced DNA damage, and reduced inflammation.
People who take taurine notice a decrease in blood sugar. And scientists have proven that the amino acid prevents hyperglycemia. The risk of developing retinopathy and neuropathy in diabetics taking taurine is significantly reduced.
A healthy person of average build who eats a balanced diet can take 500 mg of taurine per day without fear of side effects. However, this dosage may be increased for physically active people, young children and for digestive problems.
