![]() ![]() Early research suggest that taking 500 mg of taurine twice daily together with conventional treatments for 6 weeks reduces H. Stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection.Using products containing taurine combined with other ingredients might improve cycling performance but not strength training or sprint performance. Research suggests that taking 1-1.66 grams of taurine before exercise does not improve overall exercise performance. Early research suggests that taking an energy drink containing taurine prior to driving may reduce driver fatigue. Early research suggests that taking 1.5 grams of taurine twice daily for 4 months does not affect blood sugar, blood fats, or insulin levels in people with diabetes. However, it does not seem to improve growth, lung function, or other symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Taurine supplementation might be useful along with usual treatment to reduce fatty stools (steatorrhea) in children with cystic fibrosis. Early research suggests that taking a nutritional supplement containing taurine by mouth, in addition to standard care for 6 months, improves vision in people with AMD. An eye disease called age-related macular degeneration.Insufficient Evidence to Rate Effectiveness for. Research suggests that feeding infants a formula containing taurine for up to 12 weeks does not affect weight, height, head circumference, or behavior in infants. Early research suggests that taking 1.5-4 grams of taurine daily for up to 3 months improves liver function in people with hepatitis. Improvement seems to continue for as long as taurine treatment is continued, up to one year. Some patients with severe heart failure rapidly improve from NYHA class IV to II after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Taking 2-3 grams of taurine by mouth one to two times daily for 6-8 weeks seems to improve heart function and symptoms in patients with moderate heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II) to severe heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV). Uses & Effectiveness Possibly Effective for. SLIDESHOW Heart Disease: Symptoms, Signs, and Causes See Slideshow The sympathetic nervous system is the part of the nervous system that responds to stress. Taurine might also improve heart failure because it seems to lower blood pressure and calm the sympathetic nervous system, which is often too active in people with high blood pressure and CHF. There is some evidence that it improves the function of the left ventricle, one of the chambers of the heart. Researchers aren't exactly sure why taurine seems to help congestive heart failure (CHF). Antioxidants protect cells of the body from damage that results from certain chemical reactions involving oxygen (oxidation). It is also used to improve mental performance and as an antioxidant. Other uses include seizure disorders (epilepsy), autism, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eye problems (disorders of the retina), diabetes, and alcoholism. Some people take taurine supplements as medicine to treat congestive heart failure (CHF), high blood pressure, liver disease (hepatitis), high cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia), and cystic fibrosis. Excess taurine is excreted by the kidneys. People who are being tube-fed often need taurine as well, so it is added to the nutritional products that they use. So taurine is often added to infant formulas. For example, supplementation is necessary in infants who are not breastfed because their ability to make taurine is not yet developed and cow's milk does not provide enough taurine. People who, for one reason or another, cannot make taurine, must get all the taurine they need from their diet or supplements. ![]() You may see taurine referred to as "a conditional amino acid," to distinguish it from "an essential amino acid." A "conditional amino acid" can be manufactured by the body, but an "essential amino acid" cannot be made by the body and must be provided by the diet. Taurine is found in large amounts in the brain, retina, heart, and blood cells called platelets. Taurine is an amino sulfonic acid, but it is often referred to as an amino acid, a chemical that is a required building block of protein. ![]()
