A naturally-occurring essential amino acid, taurine is found throughout the body with high concentrations in the heart muscle, skeletal muscle and in the brain. It is considered an essential amino acid and can be produced naturally by the body for some people whilst its intake is provided by foods and supplements for others. Taurine helps reduce lactic acid levels and may assist in reducing cramping, whilst helping to heighten energy and reducing fatigue. It is beneficial to recovery and growth, whilst the cell volumisation property of taurine helps make muscles appear more pumped.
