Taurine

What taurine does

Taurine is an amino acid found naturally in muscle and the heart. In supplements it supports hydration inside the muscle cell, helps regulate calcium during contractions and is often paired with caffeine to smooth out the stimulant effect. It is one of the most common ingredients in energy drinks for that reason.
