NOW Foods Taurine

• Healthy visual function
• Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not used for protein synthesis, but is mainly found in most tissues, especially in the nervous system.
• It works in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes, helping transport potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells.
• Taurine helps create and regulate nerve impulses and helps in maintaining fluid balance; the body also uses it in the visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it acts together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.
