What does NOW Foods Taurine support?

NOW Foods Taurine is formulated to support healthy visual function and nervous system health. In tissues, taurine helps stabilize cell membranes and supports the movement of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium into and out of cells. It also helps generate and regulate nerve impulses and aids in maintaining fluid balance. The body uses taurine in visual pathways and in the brain and nervous system, where it works alongside glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.

• Taurine is found freely in tissues, with a notable presence throughout the nervous system.
• Its roles include cell-membrane stabilization and the transport of four minerals across cell membranes.
