Taurine Powder

Synonyms: L-taurine

What is Taurine?

Taurine is a non-essential amino acid produced in the body. As a nutrient it’s rare to have a deficiency.

In theory it’s possible to have a taurine deficiency if you also take heavy doses of beta-alanine since these two supplements compete for uptake.

Taurine Benefits

Taurine supports the healthy function of organs such as the kidneys, eyes, and nervous system.

This amino acid can also reduce exercise-induced muscle cramps.

Powder Dosage and Instructions

Take 1 gram (1000 mg) of taurine up to three times daily.

Goes Well With

As utility supplement, taurine may enhance the absorption, or bioavailability, of other supplements, especially fat-soluble supplements like vitamin A retinol.
