Vegetarians and non-meat\/fish eaters, therefore, may not be meeting their requirements for taurine. Scientists are unsure whether humans make enough taurine, and elevated levels of homocysteine often suggest the body may be having difficulty making this compound. Taurine is also needed to make bile and taurocholic acid.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.designsforhealth.com\/u\/dralex\/\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/2273\/files\/DesignsforHealthVirtualDispensary_2_-min_480x480.png?v=1675454200\" alt=\"Designs for Health\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.dralexrinehart.com\/pages\/a-to-z-product-list\"\u003e(\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca aria-describedby=\"a11y-new-window-message\" href=\"https:\/\/www.designsforhealth.com\/u\/dralex\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick to browse all DFH products)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eTaurine is an amino acid derived from another amino acid, cysteine. The body synthesizes taurine internally but it is unknown whether this internal production is sufficient to meet the full need for taurine. Certain circumstances may increase the body’s demand for taurine, such as intense exercise and stress, and taurine synthesis also declines during the natural aging process. Additionally, taurine is virtually absent from plant foods, so vegetarians and strict vegans may benefit from supplementing with taurine. Rich sources of taurine include beef, pork, shellfish, and dark meat poultry, with small amounts occurring in dairy foods.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eTaurine is involved in many physiological processes in the body and is vital for the healthy functioning of organs with high energy demands such as the brain, heart, liver and kidneys. It helps regulate the balance of sodium and potassium inside and outside cells, which is critical for maintaining proper fluid balance and alleviating occasional bloating and water retention, such as during the menstrual cycle or that induced by extended air travel. Taurine is a critical factor in the liver’s detoxification processes and it is also needed for synthesis of bile, a compound that plays a role in the proper digestion of fats and therefore, absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.*\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater and Electrolyte Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taurine helps maintain equilibrium of water in the body by encouraging normal flow of electrolytes (mainly potassium, calcium and sodium) in and out of cells and facilitating the excretion of excess water. This may help to reduce occasional bloating and water retention. The release of excess water may also contribute to maintenance of healthy blood pressure.*\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCardiovascular support:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product may promote cardiovascular wellness through several methods, including supporting healthy blood lipids, blood pressure, proper functioning of platelets (involved in blood clotting), and by facilitating energy generation in the heart muscle.*\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlood Glucose Metabolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taurine may help support the maintenance of healthy blood glucose metabolism.*\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntioxidant Effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taurine functions as an antioxidant and may help protect against damage to cells and blood vessels induced by free radicals.*\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Taurine:*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSupports healthy blood pressure already in the normal range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBoosts antioxidant defenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePromotes energy generation in heart muscle cells and supports a healthy heart rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAids in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWorks as a natural diuretic (helps the body release excess water)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eRequired for bile synthesis — facilitates proper digestion of fats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: none;\" alt=\"Taurine Designs for Health\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/2273\/files\/tau120-5-sf-min_480x480.jpg?v=1675695742\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Take 1 capsule per day or as directed by your health-care practitioner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-See \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Easy, No Hassle Returns\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shop.dralexrinehart.com\/pages\/return-policy\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSatisfaction\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePolicy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU \/ UPC Barcode: 879452000414\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
