General Description

Taurine is a naturally occurring organic compound found in various tissues throughout the human body – including skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and the nervous system. Taurine is not considered a proteinogenic amino acid, but it fulfills important nutritional functions in metabolism.

Taurine is absorbed through diet and can be synthesized by the body to a limited extent. In dietary supplements, taurine is provided in a defined, pure form.

Biochemical Functions

Taurine is involved in various fundamental processes, including the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance, the stabilization of cell membranes, and as a component of the body's own transport and regulatory mechanisms.

Requirement and Intake

The requirement for taurine depends on diet, metabolic status, and physical activity.

Taurine is found predominantly in animal-based foods. In the case of a purely plant-based diet or increased consumption – for example, due to intense physical exertion – intake may be lower.

RepaVital Taurine provides 1,000 mg of taurine per daily serving.

Occurrence in Foods

Taurine is naturally contained in:

• Fish
• Seafood
• Poultry
• Beef
• Eggs

Plant-based foods contain only very small amounts.

Specifics of Absorption

Taurine is absorbed in the small intestine and distributed to target tissues via specific transport mechanisms. Taking it with sufficient fluid supports absorption and tolerability.
