L-Taurine is an organic chemical compound and an amino sulfonic acid, produced naturally by the human body. It can also be found in foods such as red meat, dark poultry meat, shellfish, and more. As a supplement, L-Taurine is said to improve cardiovascular function, as well as features of the brain, retina, and skeletal muscles. Animal studies have also demonstrated an increased lifespan and healthspan.

Learn more about L-Taurine

What is L-Taurine?

Taurine is a type of chemical called an amino sulfonic acid. It occurs naturally in the body. The best food sources of L-Taurine are meat, shellfish, eggs, and dairy.

Because there are few plant-based foods which contain Taurine, people who are vegetarian or vegan may need a Taurine supplement.

Taurine is an amino acid found throughout our tissues. It’s a component of bile. Taurine is necessary for organs and systems (specifically nervous and immune) to function well.

How does L-Taurine work?

Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is not involved in protein synthesis but is essential to cardiovascular function and the development and function of the brain, retina, and skeletal muscle.

A small amount of Taurine is produced in the liver, but under certain conditions it may not be enough to meet all of our functional needs. Taurine can also be obtained directly from certain foods like beef, dark-meat poultry, and shellfish. The amount of Taurine humans produce declines as we age.

Taurine improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, and may improve lipid levels.

Mice studies have shown that daily supplementation with Taurine increased healthspan and extended lifespan by around 12%.

Another effect of Taurine is an average of 10% increase in effectiveness during exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is L-Taurine?

L-Taurine, commonly known as taurine, is an amino sulfonic acid naturally produced by the human body. It plays an essential role in various physiological functions, including cardiovascular health, nervous system regulation, and muscle function. Unlike most amino acids, taurine is not used to build proteins but supports key metabolic processes.

What does L-Taurine do?

L-Taurine contributes to several bodily functions, including:

  • Cardiovascular Support: Helps regulate blood pressure and supports heart health.
  • Neurological Function: Aids in neurotransmitter function and may support cognitive health,
  • Antioxidant Effects: Helps protect cells from oxidative damage,
  • Muscle and Exercise Performance: May enhance muscle endurance and recovery,
  • Bile Salt Formation: Assists in fat digestion and nutrient absorption.
What foods have L-Taurine?

L-Taurine is naturally present in various animal-based foods, including:

  • Shellfish (scallops, mussels, clams)
  • Dark poultry meat (chicken, turkey)
  • Red meat (beef, lamb, pork)
  • Dairy products (cow’s milk, goat’s milk)
  • Egg yolks

There are very few plant-based sources of taurine, which is why individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet may have lower dietary taurine intake.

Is L-Taurine the same as Taurine?

Yes, L-Taurine and Taurine refer to the same compound. The "L-" prefix denotes its natural isomer, but in practical use, they are interchangeable.

How should I take L-Taurine?

L-Taurine is soluble in water and can be taken in various ways:

  • Mixed with water, juice, or a protein shake.
  • Consumed gradually throughout the day for better absorption.
  • Taken with or without food, as it does not require dietary fats for absorption.
How much L-Taurine should I take?

The recommended daily dose of L-Taurine is 0.5 to 6 grams. Do not exceed this amount.

Hansen Supplements provides a free measuring spoon with each product. The spoon holds 0.6 grams of L-Taurine and is dishwasher safe. If precise dosing is needed, we recommend using a precision scale, available here.

Since L-Taurine is water-soluble, it can be taken with water and consumed gradually throughout the day for optimal absorption.

Who can benefit the most from taking L-Taurine?

L-Taurine supplementation can be particularly beneficial for individuals with specific health and lifestyle needs, including:

  • Athletes and physically active individuals – Taurine supports muscle endurance, reduces exercise-induced oxidative stress, and aids in faster recovery.
  • People looking to support heart health – Research suggests taurine may help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels while promoting overall cardiovascular function.
  • Individuals focused on cognitive and nervous system support – Taurine plays a role in neurotransmitter regulation and may help maintain cognitive function and mental clarity.
  • Vegetarians and vegans – Since taurine is primarily found in animal-based foods, those following plant-based diets may have lower levels and could benefit from supplementation.
  • People experiencing metabolic issues – Taurine has been studied for its potential role in improving insulin sensitivity and supporting metabolic health.
  • Those looking for liver and detoxification support – Taurine contributes to bile salt formation, aiding in digestion and the body’s detox processes.
