This 2019 review study discussed the potential roles of taurine in energy metabolism. Taurine biosynthetic ability is limited, and its supplementation in the diet can strengthen energy metabolism in muscle performance, cardiac function, liver activity and adipose tissue. Combining taurine with other drugs may have a superior effect in energy metabolism. References: Wen, C., Li, …

This 2020 review discusses taurine’s roles in the immune regulation of inflammation. Authors found evidence to support taurine’s influence on cellular functions, including osmoregulation, antioxidation, ion movement modulation, and conjugation of bile acids. Taurine exerts anti-inflammatory effects that improve diabetes and has shown benefits to the cardiovascular system, possibly by inhibition of the renin angiotensin …
