Taurine
Taurine is used to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins as well as to regulate the heartbeat, maintain cell membrane stability, and prevent brain cell over-activity.
It is also believed to be useful in protecting against congestive heart failure.
Taurine appears to have a role in infants, children, and even adults in the prevention of granulation of the retina and electroencephalographic changes.
Taurine has also been reported to improve maturation of auditory-evoked responses in pre-term infants, although this point is not fully established.
It is a key ingredient of bile, which in turn is needed for fat digestion, absorption of fat-soluble vitamins as well as the control of cholesterol serum levels in the body. (It is incorporated in the bile acid chenodeoxychloic acid, which emulsify the dietary fats)
This nutrient is also used in the proper use of potassium, calcium as well as sodium in the body, and for maintaining cell membrane integrity.
It is thought to be helpful with anxiety, hyperactivity, poor brain function and epilepsy as well as hydrating the brain. Taurine, together with zinc is also required for proper eye health and vision.
Clinically, taurine has been used with varying degrees of success in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions, including: cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia, epilepsy and other seizure disorders, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, hepatic disorders, alcoholism, and cystic fibrosis.
