YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Although taurine is not one of the amino acids used to construct proteins, it's still a vital chemical. It's essential for the development of the eyes and brain, and binds to the inhibitory receptors for GABA and glycine in the brain. It serves to tamp down excessive electrical activity in the muscles, heart, and brain, as well as having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mitochondrial protective properties. It's also one of the most widely used supplements in the world, since all of the major sports / energy drinks contain sizable doses of it. While promoters claim that it enhances and regulates some of the actions of caffeine that are also in those drinks, a majority of studies fail to find measurable added benefit, either for exercise or cognitive performance, from the addition of taurine. A few studies indicated that taurine might help improve reaction time, reduce fatigue, and burn fat more efficiently, but many of these results could be attributable to caffeine itself.
