Found in meats and seafood, Taurine was discovered by Germans and so named because it was found in oxen bile. Taurine can be depleted with heavy exercise. You can also become low in taurine if you are a vegetarian.
Important in the development of skeletal muscles, Taurine can allow weightlifters to enjoy a full and enhanced cut look.
Taurine increases the hydration in the muscles as well as transports glucose (sugar) into muscle cells.
This boosts the volume of the cells and creates the full muscular look.
During workouts and sports, Taurine increases blood flow to the muscles, improving circulation and performance. Taurine also decreases muscle soreness and fatigue after workouts.
Strenuous activity such as bodybuilding, sports and exercise can produce a condition called oxidative stress, a condition where you produce free radicals above the ability to neutralize them.

You will quickly recover from any stress brought on by the exercise.
