Taurine Capsules, 1000 mg., 50 capsules

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid produced from cysteine by the body and found abundantly in the body, particularly throughout the excitable tissues of the central nervous system, where it is thought to have a regulating influence. However, taurine is deficient in many diets and may not be sufficiently produced by the body in certain disease states.

Dosage and use: One to four grams daily are suggested.

Taurine is nontoxic and well-absorbed. It may be taken either with meals or on an empty stomach. The powdered form mixes well with juice or water.

Other ingredients: rice flour, magnesium stearate, gelatin and water.

Taurine has been reported to:

- Prevent cataracts

- Boost cardiac output in those suffering from congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy

- Be frequently deficient in cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy

- Control epileptic seizures, uncontrollable facial twitches, and motor tics.
