What is taurine and why is it added to heart complexes?

Taurine is a sulphur-containing amino acid found in the body's tissues, especially where a stable metabolism and high energy demand matter. Unlike most amino acids, taurine is not built into proteins but performs other functions: it is involved in signalling between cells, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance, and the work of muscle tissue.

This is why taurine is often found in supplements aimed at the ‘heart and blood vessels’ category: the heart muscle is one of the tissues with a constantly high energy load. It is regarded as a nutrient that helps supplement the diet during periods of a busy schedule, sport, lack of sleep or emotional strain.

It is important to understand that taurine in a food supplement is an addition to the diet, not a medicine. The supplement is not intended to treat or prevent any disease. If you are specifically interested in taurine as a single nutrient without accompanying ingredients, Evalar Kardio Aktiiv with taurine has a simple formula — convenient for those who want to know exactly which active ingredient they are adding to their diet.
