The taurine acts as a neurotransmitter (chemical messenger in the nervous system), with weak suppressive action; found in nerve endings and synaptic vesicles and its release is calcium-dependent, although no specific receptors have been identified for it. It is well modulator and inhibitor of neurotransmitters in the brain, helping to displace the sodium ions, potassium, calcium and magnesium in and out of nerve cells, helping to generate nerve impulses.
Moreover, clinical studies in animals indicate that the addition of taurine to the diet increases levels of acetylcholine in the brain, a neurotransmitter important for memory and increase in the brain which leads to an improvement same. Some studies have found low levels of taurine in people with Alzheimer's disease.
A sudden increase in calcium levels inside the neuron, causes the release of taurine, which along with magnesium, work together to combat over-stimulation of it, protecting it from injury.
Recommended dosage: Despite many clinical studies, do not know the optimal dose. It is considered a dose between 500 to 1000 mg, 2 to 3 times daily for adults, on average, a daily supplement of 1 g 2 times daily (morning and evening).
