Taurine is an important amino acid derivative, similar to other amino acids in the body, but not involved in protein synthesis. Produced primarily through chemical synthesis or fermentation processes, Taurine helps to improve athletic performance and endurance, reduces muscle fatigue caused by physical activity, and increases the water content within muscle cells, helping to maintain their function and stability. In addition, Taurine has been implicated in cholesterol metabolism, cardiovascular health, antioxidant properties and cell protection.
