TAURINE

🧠💓 Healthy We Can Be – Taurine
Relax. Strengthen. Restore Balance.
Ingredients:
Taurine (nothing else)
⸻
Taurine is one of the most important amino acids in the human body. It’s found in high concentrations in the heart, brain, central nervous system, and skeletal muscles, where it plays a vital role in regulating minerals, stabilizing cells, and supporting healthy organ function.
Taurine is naturally produced in the body from two sulfur-containing amino acids—methionine and cysteine, which are both found abundantly in egg yolks and meat. Because taurine is found primarily in animal protein and not in vegetable protein, vegetarians and those consuming low-protein or low-fat diets may have difficulty producing adequate amounts naturally. Taurine is also found in abundance in shellfish and other animal proteins, which is why mindful supplementation can be beneficial for many.

❤️ Cardiovascular Health
In each cell of the body, taurine helps keep potassium and magnesium inside while pushing excess sodium out, helping the body maintain optimal mineral balance. In this sense, it acts like a natural diuretic—but unlike prescription diuretics, taurine is not a cellular poison. Instead, it supports healthy kidney function, helps reduce tissue swelling and fluid accumulation, and promotes overall heart and circulatory health.
Taurine has been shown to help normalize blood pressure, relax blood vessels, and ease arterial spasm by calming the sympathetic nervous system. It also helps strengthen heart muscles, maintain proper calcium balance, and protect the heart from damage caused by certain medications or stressors. Working together with magnesium, taurine helps regulate and stabilize heart rhythm, making it an important nutrient for cardiovascular well-being.

🌸 Women’s Health
Taurine is especially important for women. The female hormone estradiol naturally depresses taurine formation in the liver. This means that women who are on estrogen replacement therapy, birth control pills, or who experience estrogen dominance may benefit from additional taurine. It can also help reduce fluid retention during the menstrual cycle, and support natural hormone balance.
Synthetic estrogen replacement therapy, chemotherapy, and a lack of good intestinal bacteria can further block taurine production—making mindful supplementation an easy way to support the body’s needs.

🧘‍♀️ Neurological & Stress Support
Taurine plays a powerful role in the brain and nervous system, helping to stabilize cell membranes and regulate electro-chemical balance. It naturally calms overactive neurotransmitters, helping promote relaxation, clarity, and emotional balance.
Because taurine helps move potassium, sodium, and calcium in and out of cells efficiently, it can be beneficial for epileptics or those experiencing uncontrolled muscle or facial twitches. It also provides antioxidant and detoxifying benefits, supports eye and gallbladder health, and promotes healthy blood vessels.
Taurine also supports the body’s NEM (neuro-endometabolic) stress response system—the network that manages how we react to physical, emotional, and environmental stress. By helping to calm the effects of adrenaline, taurine assists the body in maintaining equilibrium and reducing the symptoms of stress overload.
