Taurine is classified as a conditionally essential amino acid. Humans can synthesize taurine from methionine or cysteine, but under certain conditions some individuals are not able to make enough, making it an essential nutrient for those people.
Taurine is essential for pre-term and newborn infants because they have not yet developed the enzyme system that allows them to synthesize taurine. Thus, taurine is an essential nutrient for infants. Taurine is concentrated in parts of the body that have high electrical activity such as the eye, brain, and heart.
Functions/Clinical Efficacy:
• Neurotransmitter balance: Taurine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps to stabilize nerve cell membranes. This feature is probably related to its reported role in managing seizure disorders such as epilepsy.
• Absorption: Taurine is a component of bile acids and as such it helps regulate the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
• Fluid Volume: Taurine regulates the volume of fluid in cells, especially in the kidneys and central nervous system.
• Cardioprotective Effect: Taurine provides a cardioprotective effect by its antioxidant properties, improving lipid balance and helping regulate intracellular calcium levels
• Detoxifying Agent: Taurine is part of the bile acid conjugation pathway of cholesterol, which is involved in emulsification and absorption of lipids and fat- soluble nutrients and their increased solubility and excretion; taurine is a detoxifying agent that helps protect liver cells against various toxins. In alcoholism, taurine is reported to help with alcohol withdrawal symptoms (.
• Retina Protection: Taurine is concentrated in the eyes where it helps protect the photoreceptors in the retina of the eye from damage.
• Exercise: Taurine supplementation is reported to help improve muscle damage, especially after periods of intense exercise (Ra et al, 2013).

Symptoms of Deficiency:
• In pre-term and term infants, taurine insufficiency results in impaired fat absorption, bile acid secretion, vision disturbances, and liver malfunction, all of which can be reversed by taurine supplementation.
Dosage:
• 1,500 - 3,000 mg daily.

Side Effects and Warnings:
• No side effects or toxicity have been reported with recommended dosages of taurine.
• Taurine is found in high amounts (1,000 – 2,000 mg / serving) in popular energy drinks on the market.

Food Sources:
• Meat and fish are the best food sources for taurine. Humans, except for infants, are able to make taurine from the amino acid methionine.

Taurine is available online. Look for 1000mg doseage. If you want a done-for-you protein program with healthy taurine, please DM the West Clinic or email [email protected]
