Glutathione for Detox & Immune Support Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body
Additionally, taurine is virtually absent from plant foods, so vegetarians and strict vegans may benefit from supplementing with taurine.* Taurine is involved in many physiological processes in the body and is vital for the healthy functioning of organs with high energy demands such as the brain, heart, liver, and kidneys.* It helps regulate the balance of sodium and potassium inside and outside cells, which is critical for maintaining proper fluid balance and alleviating occasional bloating and water retention.* Taurine is a critical factor in the liver's detoxification processes and is also needed for synthesis of bile, a compound that plays a role in the proper digestion of fats and therefore absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.* Mechanism of Action Water, Electrolyte, and Cardiovascular Support Taurine helps maintain equilibrium of water in the body by encouraging normal flow of electrolytes (mainly potassium, calcium, and sodium) in and out of cells and facilitating the excretion of excess water.* This may help reduce occasional bloating and water retention, and the release of excess water may also contribute to maintenance of healthy blood pressure.* Taurine promotes cardiovascular wellness by supporting healthy blood lipids, blood pressure, proper functioning of platelets, and facilitating energy generation in the heart muscle.* Glucose Metabolism and Antioxidant Effects Taurine may help support the maintenance of healthy blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.* It also functions as an antioxidant and may help protect against damage to cells and blood vessels induced by free radicals, providing comprehensive cellular protection for high-energy-demand organs.* Applications Individuals seeking cardiovascular support including blood pressure and blood lipid health* Those wanting water and electrolyte balance support to reduce occasional bloating* Athletes needing antioxidant protection and energy support for heart muscle cells* Vegetarians and vegans needing taurine supplementation absent from plant foods* Individuals seeking liver detoxification and bile synthesis support for fat digestion* Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights Multi-System Amino Acid Taurine for cardiovascular, metabolic, and antioxidant support
