## Description

Healthy Visual Function* Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid that is not utilized for protein synthesis, but is mainly found free in most tissues, especially throughout the nervous system.* It functions in tissues by stabilizing cell membranes and aiding the transport of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells.* Taurine helps to generate and regulate nerve impulses and supports the maintenance of normal fluid balance; it is also used by the body in visual pathways, as well as in the brain and nervous system, where it works together with glycine and GABA as a neurotransmitter.* Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Amazing Stuff!!! - I bought the NOW Supplements, Taurine 500 mg for my husband. He has cataracts and I heard that it was supposed to be good them. I also read that it is supposed to be good for muscle rejuvenation. The bottle has a purple pull off safety strip that is around the top of the bottle, great feature. And it also has a seal under the lid on the top of the bottle another great safety feature. There is a desiccant pack inside. The capsule is a little big, but I can still get it swallowed easily. I can't smell it, it doesn't leave a taste, and I don't notice any stomach upset after taking it. I didn't notice any negative side effects. The first couple of days I had a slight headache, but I don't know if that had anything to do with starting it. We both are taking it, we take one in the morning and one in the evening with dinner. Easy to take and minimal ingredients. I can't tell you if it has helped his cataracts yet, since he hasn't been to the eye doctor, BUT it sure is good for your muscles! The next day I noticed when we walked, there is a hill that we walk up and it was a little tiring, but this time it didn't seem as bad. I also had an arm that was sore, my knee bothered me and my shoulder hurt, that has also gone away! After we rode in the car for two or three hours it was hard to get out and we both seemed stiff, that is gone, we pop right out. It seems to give you more energy and you recover faster. I ran the weed wacker for the first time this spring and my arms were not as tired as before, and they weren't shaky for as long, I recovered a lot faster. I wish it came in a 250 count bottle. I thought they were a great value for the money and I will buy again.
Review: Excellent for calming and focus - I started taking this taurine supplement to support my nervous system, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my ability to stay calm and focused throughout the day. It’s especially helpful during stressful moments — I feel more grounded without any drowsiness. Great quality and very gentle on the stomach. Highly recommend if you’re looking for natural nervous system support!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where (what country) is this supplement produced?**
A: Our raw material sourcing is subject to change, so please contact us directly for information like country of origin. Anything we post here will later be inaccurate whenever we do make a change, so we are hesitant to post temporarily accurate information in a permanently accessible public forum. Our certified nutritionists can be reached at 888-669-3663 ext. 5 or productinfo@nowfoods.com.

**Q: Photo shows veggie caps. Description shows gelatin caps. Which one is it?**
A: They used to come in regular gelatin caps, then switched to veggie caps. It seems like nobody updated the description. I would trust what the bottle itself says. By law, they have to label the ingredients accurately.

**Q: What is the source of gelatin?**
A: The capsules are made of bovine gelatin (BSE-free).

**Q: Why does NOW products never show the ingredient list?**
A: Ingredients can be found under Important Information on the product page for an item.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very effective for helping anxiety
*by A***R on August 6, 2025*

This taurine is so helpful in calming my nervous system and anxiety. Doesn’t make me tired. I can use it before a commute and also after dinner to start winding down. Highly recommend. I am quite sensitive to many supplements, but have no issues with this. On my second bottle.
