I usually prescribe a magnesium glycinate powder with 3000 mg of taurine. The therapeutic dose of taurine is 500 to 3000 mg and works best when taken with magnesium, another important nutrient for mood, mitochondria, and insulin sensitivity. The biology of bone and muscle are connected. Builds muscle and boneįinally, by supporting healthy muscle, taurine can help to prevent osteoporosis. May slow agingīy reducing oxidative stress and preserving mitochondrial function, taurine has been found to improve biomarkers associated with aging in humans and actually slow aging in animals. Supports healthy estrogen metabolism or detoxificationīy supporting the healthy formation of bile acids, taurine can prevent gallstones and help to promote the healthy detoxification of estrogen through the liver and bowel. Together with magnesium, taurine can reduce inflammation, suppress appetite, and prevent obesity. Taurine improves healthy insulin sensitivity by supporting mitochondria and preventing the harmful overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Helps to reverse insulin resistance and improve metabolic health 👉🏽Tip: Taurine’s benefits for GABA and insulin make it particularly helpful for the hot flashes of perimenopause and menopause. GABA, glycine, and taurine are similar in molecular structure.īy interacting with GABA receptors, taurine helps to support beneficial “GABAergic” tone or overall GABA activity, thereby improving sleep, preventing migraines, and relieving premenstrual and perimenopausal mood symptoms. Taurine is a calming neurotransmitter similar in structure to glycine and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) - the brain’s other two calming neurotransmitters. Benefits of taurine for women’s health Calms the brain and soothes anxiety Plant foods have no taurine a standard omnivore diet provides about 400 mg.ĭietary or supplementary taurine is more important for women than men because estrogen slows the biosynthesis of taurine. For optimal health, taurine must be ingested from animal foods such as meat, dairy, and fish.
Taurine is a “semi-essential” amino acid because although we technically can synthesize it from methionine and cysteine, the rate of taurine synthesis is very low in humans. It’s also an important antioxidant! And, fun fact: taurine accounts for up to 0.1 percent of body weight. Instead, taurine has direct effects on the liver, brain, and immune system. Taurine is an amino acid, but unlike most other amino acids, it’s not used to build protein. Taurine is one of my favorite prescriptions for perimenopause, menopause, sleep, mood, insulin resistance, and migraine prevention.
