99% Purity Taurine 107-35-7

What is Taurine?
Taurine, also known as β-aminoethanesulfonic acid, was first isolated from bezoar, hence the name. The pure product is colorless or white slant crystals, odorless, taurine is chemically stable, insoluble in organic solvents such as ether, is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid, exists in a free state in the body, and does not participate in the protein Biosynthesis. Although taurine is not involved in protein synthesis, it is closely related to the metabolism of cystine and cysteine. The cysteine sulfite carboxylase (CSAD) activity of the human body to synthesize taurine is low, and it mainly relies on the intake of taurine in food to meet the body's needs.

Function of Taurine
1.Promote the development of brain tissue and intelligence in infants and young children.
2.Improve nerve conduction and visual function.
3.Prevent cardiovascular disease and treat heart failure.
4.The role of taurine is to combine with bile acids to form taurocholic acid, which is necessary for the absorption of lipids in the digestive tract. Taurocholic acid can increase the solubility of lipids and cholesterol, relieve bile blockage, reduce the cytotoxicity of certain free bile acids, inhibit the formation of cholesterol stones, and increase bile flow.
5.Improve endocrine status and enhance human immunity.
6.Taurine can bind to insuli receptor, promote cell uptake and utilization of glucose, accelerate glycolysis, and reduce blood sugar concentration.
7.Inhibit the occurrence of cataracts.
8.Improve the function of memory, and also have a certain effect on the anti-aging of the nervous system.
9.Maintain normal reproductive function.
