Taurine is an organic acid which acts as a lipid/membrane stablilizer in the body and can aid various anti-oxidant defense systems. Taurine exerts most of its benefits vicariously though other compounds in the body, but exerts some of its own on a cellular level.
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid, classified between essential amino acids that the body cannot produce (eg, lysine, tryptophan) and nonessential amino acids that the body can produce (eg, alanine, cysteine). Taurine is synthesized in the liver and brain via cysteine or methionine.
