    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Taurine

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question

    • What foods are richest in taurine?

      Taurine is found primarily in animal-based foods. The richest dietary sources include shellfish (especially scallops and mussels), fish (particularly tuna and cod), and meat (especially dark chicken meat and turkey). Dairy products also contain taurine, though in smaller amounts. It's worth noting that taurine is not typically found in significant quantities in plant-based foods.

    • Is it safe to take NOW Foods Taurine every day?

      For most people, taking NOW Foods, Taurine daily at recommended doses is considered safe. Taurine is naturally present in the body and is generally well-tolerated as a supplement. However, as with any supplement, it's important to follow dosage instructions and consider individual health needs and potential interactions with medications or other supplements.

    • What are the side effects of taking NOW Foods Taurine?

      Taurine is generally well-tolerated, and side effects are rare when taken at recommended doses. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, headaches, or dizziness. In very high doses, taurine could potentially cause digestive issues. It's always best to start with lower doses and increase gradually if needed.

    • What does NOW Foods Taurine do in the body?

      NOW Foods Taurine provides supplemental taurine, an amino acid that plays various roles in the body. Taurine is involved in maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance in cells, supporting cardiovascular function, and aiding in the development and function of skeletal muscle. It also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and may have antioxidant properties.

    • Is NOW Foods Taurine good for your kidneys?

      Taurine may have potential benefits for kidney health. Some studies suggest that taurine could help protect against oxidative stress in the kidneys and may support overall kidney function. However, individuals with existing kidney conditions should consult with a healthcare provider before using taurine supplements, as the effects can vary depending on the specific condition.

    • Who should not take taurine?

      While taurine is generally safe for most people, certain groups should exercise caution. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid taurine supplements due to limited safety data. Individuals with bipolar disorder may need to avoid taurine as it might worsen manic episodes. Those with low blood pressure should use caution, as taurine may further lower blood pressure.
