Taurine Supplement. Taurine is an amino acid, a chemical that is a required building block of protein. It is made in our body. The brain, heart, and retina (a tissue at the back of the inner eye) contain large amounts of taurine. Taurine is also a part of the fluid produced by the liver.
Remarkably little has been determined about Taurineâs effects on the brain, but what we do know actually runs contrary to the public perception of this natural nutrient. While Taurine is viewed as a natural energy-booster, it does not in fact have stimulatory effects. Instead, this supplement has a sedative effect and can be used to calm the brain down during periods of excessive neuron firing. As a nootropic, Taurine may be used to reduce anxiety while promoting sleep and relaxation.
