Taurine Reverses Cardiovascular Disease Factors -

Taurine has powerful effects on the heart and blood vessels. People with higher levels of taurine have significantly lower rates of dying from coronary heart disease.1,34 Additionally, they have lower body mass index, lower blood pressure, and lower levels of dangerous lipids. Many different mechanisms account for these powerful effects on the heart and blood vessels.

In animal models of hypertension, taurine supplementation lowers blood pressure by reducing the resistance to blood flow in the blood vessel walls and by minimizing nerve impulses in the brain that drive blood pressure up.35,36 Oral taurine supplementation has been found to reduce the arterial thickening and stiffness characteristic of atherosclerosis, to restore arteries’ responses to beneficial endothelial nitric oxide, and to reduce inflammation (a direct contributor to cardiovascular disease).34,35

A study of patients needing coronary bypass surgery showed that
consuming a liquid drink containing 3 grams of taurine,
combined with 3 grams carnitine,
150 mg CoQ10, and
basic multivitamin nutrients,
reduced left-sided ventricular volume during the heart’s resting
phase (diastole).37

This is important since an increased left-ventricular diastolic
volume is the single greatest predictor of death in patients
requiring bypass or stent placements.

This makes taurine a vital component of such patients’ diets.
