It is not classified as an essential amino acid, but taurine is the second most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle and is found in other tissues at high concentrations where high levels of energy are needed. Taurine has several roles, it has anti-inflammatory and beneficial properties on the nervous system, even helps to lower blood pressure. It plays an important role in neurotransmission, membrane stabilization and neurological development. Unlike the other amino acids, it is not incorporated into the protein structures, but exists in the intra cellular space of certain tissues as an amino acid in free form and performs different functions.
