Taurine: An excellent nutrient

Even though it is abused by the energy drink industry, taurine has many therapeutic applications which many physicians fail to recognize.

Taurine can:

• reduce bad cholesterol
• lower elevated liver enzymes
• improve skin healing
• improve heart function and strength
• reduce blood pressure
• increase the effect of insulin
• increase breastmilk production
• reduce seizures
• assist with drinking cessation
  
• reduce toxicity of environmental exposures
• reduce malabsorption of nutrients
• reduce lung problems
• reduce liver damage during total parenteral nutrition
  

That's a huge list and I'm not even done. I spent 4 hours researching taurine today and I'm overwhelmed.

It's good.

Well, taurine is good unless you have or are susceptible to:

• migraines
• hypothyroidism
• low blood sugar
• prolactinoma
• perhaps infertility - depends on why you're infertile as it may help - it is known to be good for infertile men as it makes sperm healthy
