Taurine

Classification:

  • Conditional Amino Acid meaning you need more of it during periods of stress or illness for optimal cellular support

 

Indications:

  • Taurine supports cardiovascular health, muscle development, and nervous system function.
  • Studies also support aid in liver health, cholesterol breakdown, and energy metabolism assisting in combating fatigue and improving exercise performance.
  • Its antioxidant properties can reduce oxidative stress resulting in slowing the aging process of our cells.

 

Mechanism of Action:

  • Taurine regulates calcium signaling reducing the intracellular calcium levels in neurons, acts as an antioxidant, and is involved in bile salt formation aiding in digestion.
  • In regards to our central nervous system, taurine supports the decrease in endoplasmic reticulum stress of misfolded proteins, which affects the normal physiological functions of the cell.
  • It also is responsible for antagonizing neurotransmitter receptors of GABA+, glycine and NMDA also known as (N-Nitrosodimethylamine), which is a volatile nitrosamine or contaminant that occurs in the environment.

 

Dosage:

  • Typically 500–3,000 mg/day is the recommended dose. Dosages for IV therapy are under our physician protocol recommended daily doses and customized based on individual health needs and goals.

 

Considerations:

  • Consult a healthcare professional before supplementation, especially if you have specific health conditions or are on medications.
  • Peptic ulcers can be exacerbated with supplementation
  • Taurine interacts with some medications, such as antidepressants, anti-seizure drugs, statins, and blood thinners
  • Deficiency is generally rare because taurine is common in animal protein foods AND because your body can make it in your liver

 

Potential Side Effects:

  • High doses may cause gastrointestinal upset, dizziness, or difficulty sleeping.
  • Potential decrease in blood pressure, especially if on medications for lowering blood pressure.
