3 Benefits of Taurine for Heart and Muscle Health

Summary: Taurine is an amino acid that does a lot more than just pump you up in energy drinks. It is actually great for your heart and muscles. People with diabetes often have lower levels of taurine, and taking it can help control blood sugar. It also helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol. For athletes, taking taurine before a workout can boost power and help muscles recover faster. It is safe for most people in doses up to 6 grams a day, but you should check with a doctor if you take blood pressure medicine.
