It acts as a pH buffer in the heart, skeletal muscles, and central nervous system. ʟ-taurine is a non-protein amino acid that is the end product of ʟ-cysteine metabolism and the main free intracellular amino acid found in human tissue. The best-understood role of ʟ-taurine in humans is its involvement in the formation of conjugated taurine bile acids within the liver. These acids are essential for micelle formation and fat absorption. ʟ-taurine is an important component of bile, which acts like a soap, helping the body to break down fats and fat-soluble vitamins. A recent study indicates taurine's role as an important regulator of interaction between nerves and muscles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__content expandable-menu__content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis amino acid, ʟ-taurine, is not as readily found in animal meat as other amino acids, and must either be synthesized by your body or taken in supplement form. The synthesis of ʟ-taurine requires ʟ-cysteine and vitamin B₆, which are not always present in sufficient quantities. Deficiencies in ʟ-taurine can lead to epilepsy, hyperactivity, and poor brain function.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product__description__full\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"New Roots Herbal","offers":[{"title":"90 capsules","offer_id":12654600552514,"sku":"62874710089","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2222\/3557\/files\/new-roots-herbal-ltaurine-90-capsules-vegetales-la-boite-a-grains_0d9b88f7-4d00-4ae3-a623-3795e5c66c2c.jpg?v=1774555246","url":"https:\/\/laboiteigrains.com\/en\/products\/l-turine-500-mg","provider":"La Boite à Grains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
