Taurine 1000 mg, 60 capsules

Taurine: Cellular energy and antioxidant protection for the brain, heart, and eyes

Taurine 1000 mg is a food supplement containing 1000 mg of taurine, a semi-essential amino acid with strong antioxidant properties that helps protect the brain, heart, eyes, and blood cells. Semi-essential amino acids are those that can be synthesized by the human body only in the presence of certain essential amino acids.

Taurine occurs naturally in the body, particularly in the myocardium, white blood cells, and skeletal muscles. It is also a key component of bile, supporting fat digestion, the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and the regulation of cholesterol levels.

Who can benefit from Taurine 1000 mg by Zenyth?

Taurine may be a useful supplement for individuals following vegetarian diets, those with nutrient-poor nutrition, people with diabetes, individuals who consume alcohol, people who spend long hours in front of a computer or are physically demanding, as well as individuals with genetic or metabolic conditions affecting taurine synthesis.

Which foods contain taurine?

Taurine is found primarily in animal-based protein sources. Because it is not present in significant amounts in plants, individuals following vegan or vegetarian diets may have lower taurine levels in the body.

Taurine supports cardiovascular health

May help support healthy blood pressure levels. The relationship between taurine and blood pressure has been studied since the 1980s. Several studies have investigated its potential benefits, including a 2016 clinical study conducted in China.

The study lasted 12 weeks and included 120 men and women with prehypertension (systolic blood pressure up to 139 mm Hg and diastolic up to 89 mm Hg). Participants were randomly assigned to either a placebo group or a taurine group, with the latter receiving 1.6 g of taurine daily. At the end of the study period, the placebo group showed no significant changes, while the taurine group experienced meaningful reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

May support heart function. Research suggests that taurine may help promote relaxation of cardiac muscle tissue. It may also help modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and reduce vascular smooth muscle response to vasoconstrictive agents. In heart muscle cells, taurine plays an important role in maintaining calcium balance and normal metabolism.

In a small double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 14 participants, taurine supplementation was evaluated in individuals with heart failure. Participants received 6 g of taurine daily for four weeks. At the end of the study, the heart failure score decreased significantly in the taurine group, while the placebo group showed no change.

May positively influence cholesterol levels. Taurine, together with glycine, forms conjugates with bile acids (mainly cholic acid), producing bile salts such as taurocholate — one of the main compounds involved in removing cholesterol from the bloodstream — and glycocholate.

Taurine plays an important role in cholesterol metabolism because the excretion of bile salts through feces represents the primary pathway for cholesterol elimination from the body, with a daily bile acid production of approximately 200–1,000 mg. A low dietary intake of taurine may therefore be associated with reduced cholesterol excretion and a potential increase in plasma cholesterol levels.

Taurine supports sports performance

Research has shown that during intense physical activity, taurine levels in muscle tissue may decrease significantly, which can contribute to reduced performance and faster onset of muscle fatigue.

Taking a taurine supplement before or during physical effort may help improve athletic performance. Its potential benefits include helping reduce muscle breakdown, fatigue, and post-exercise muscle soreness.

One of the main mechanisms through which taurine supports physical performance is by increasing cellular excitability through the stimulation of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This process enhances the interaction between myosin and actin — two key muscle proteins — which may improve muscle contraction efficiency.

May help reduce muscle soreness. A study conducted on individuals performing intense weight-training sessions indicated that taurine supplementation was associated with fewer markers of muscle breakdown and lower reported levels of muscle soreness.

Supports faster weight management. Due to taurine’s role in bile salt synthesis and in the metabolism of fat cells, it may support healthy body weight management. During exercise, taurine may help reduce adipose tissue by promoting the use of fats as an energy source.

Supports aerobic performance. Supplementation with taurine may help reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, as shown in studies conducted on young adults. Increased plasma taurine levels may contribute to improved muscle strength, enhanced endurance, and better overall athletic performance.

Taurine 1000 mg is a food supplement.

Food supplements do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach and sight of young children.
