Taurine Review

Taurine is one of the most abundant organic acids in the human and animal tissues and is a major component of bile. You've probably seen this substance listed as an ingredient in many popular energy drinks, but can also be attained via consumption of fish and meat. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and is associated with inhibition of the CNS. It achieves this effect by attaching to GABA receptors and is believed to promote stabilization of membranes, and protect us from excitotoxicity. Also, it has antioxidant properties thus removing toxins, free radicals and lipofuscin helping protect our body.
