Taurine is important\r\n in several metabolic processes of the body, including stabilizing cell \r\nmembranes in electrically active tissues, such as the brain and heart. \r\nIt functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the \r\ntransport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of \r\ncells. Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and \r\nsupports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the\r\n body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, \r\nwhere it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    Because Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally present in animal products such as eggs and meat, but not in vegetable protein, supplemental taurine is often recommended for vegetarians and vegans. This pure powder allows for controlled dosing and can be added to health\rshakes.\r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067009646824,"sku":"16218","price":36.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4073\/files\/s16218.jpg?v=1779478296","url":"https:\/\/homegrownfoods.ca\/products\/now-taurine-powder-228g","provider":"Homegrown Foods Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
