Physiological function
1 promote infant brain and mental development
Taurine in the brain abundant, widely distributed, can significantly promote the growth and development of the nervous system and cell proliferation, differentiation, and dose-dependent manner, cells in the brain play an important role during development. Studies have shown: preterm children were significantly lower than the brain taurine full-term children, premature children is because the skin in vivo half-acid sub-acid dehydrogenase (CSAD) not yet mature enough to satisfy the synthesis of taurine the body needs to be supplemented by the breast milk. Higher levels of taurine in human milk, especially in higher concentrations in colostrum. If you add enough so that children will be slow growth, mental retardation. Taurine and child care, fetal central nervous system and retina development are closely related, long-term feeding of milk alone, could easily lead to taurine deficiency.

2 improve nerve conduction and visual function
Hayes et al reported in 1975, feed the cat if the lack of taurine, may lead to retinal degeneration, a chronic lack of, and finally to blindness. The reason for the cat and the Night Owls prey mice, mainly due to mice rich in taurine, more food can maintain their sharp vision. Infants and young children the absence of taurine, retinal dysfunction occurs. Long-term infusion of parenteral nutrition patients, if there is no taurine infusion, the patient will ERG changes, only to add a large dose of taurine to correct the change.

3 prevent cardiovascular disease
Taurine in the circulation system can inhibit platelet aggregation, reduce blood fat and maintain the bodys normal blood pressure and prevent atherosclerosis; have a protective effect on myocardial cells may be antiarrhythmic; to lower blood cholesterol levels with special effects, to treat heart failure .
Taurine GB14759-2010

4 affect the absorption of lipids
The role of taurine in the liver and bile acid taurine to form bile acids, taurocholic acid on lipid absorption in the digestive tract is required. Taurocholic acid can increase the solubility of lipids and cholesterol, relieve bile obstruction, reduce some of the free bile acid cytotoxicity, inhibition of cholesterol gallstone formation, increased bile flow.
 
5 improve endocrine status, and enhance the bodys immune
Taurine can promote the secretion of pituitary hormones, activation of pancreatic function, thereby improving the bodys endocrine system of the state, to be useful for the regulation of metabolism; and promote the organism with enhanced immunity and anti-fatigue effect.
