Promote the nerve
Taurine is abundant in the nervous system. It is an inhibitory transmitter in the central nervous system, which can promote the development, proliferation and differentiation of the nervous system. Taurine is a osmotic regulator and antioxidant, which participates in the regulation of learning and memory. [1]
Protect the heart
Taurine can effectively combat the increase of free radicals when cardiomyocyte injury, protect the stability of cell membrane, bidirectional regulation of calcium ions, so as to reduce cardiomyocyte injury, protect cardiomyocyte, inhibit cardiomyocyte death, and play a role in protecting the heart as a whole. [2]
Resistance to fatigue
Taurine can regulate neurotransmitters and keep the central nervous system in a good state of stress. Hou Xiangyu et al. found that taurine can improve and stabilize the concentration of branched chain amino acids in the body, which has a positive effect on maintaining muscle movement. Branched-chain amino acids can competitively inhibit the transport of aromatic amino acids into the brain, interfere with the normal function of central dopamine and adrenergic nerve conduction pathways, and thus delay central fatigue. [3]
According to the national food safety standards, taurine can also be used as a nutritional fortifier, added in concocted milk, concocted milk powder, flavor fermented milk, milk tablets, milk containing drinks, soy milk/soy milk powder, special purpose drinks, jelly and other foods. Therefore, in daily life, we can eat a variety of foods containing taurine, to supplement the body with taurine.
