Are you consuming sufficient L-Taurine?
Taurine Rich Foods
The most L-taurine-rich foods are shellfish: clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops (scallops are high in Taurine content, 100 grams containing up to 827 milligrams of Taurine). Also, dark meats (beef and lamb), poultry, turkey, and chicken. The seafood, like cod, salmon, or tuna, provides significant amounts of Taurine. Vegetarian or vegan diets contain a much lower Taurine intake, thus, supplementation is necessary.
Suggested amounts of L-Taurine for patients with blood sugar diagnosis range between 950-2,000mg daily with meals. Added Taurine increases your energy, normalizes blood levels, sharpens mental focus, and improves your overall heart health.
However, you must improve your dietary consumption with healthy eating while continuing to monitor your levels with medical care.
The amino acid, L-Taurine, provides additional benefits for improving health and wellness.
When you are under stress, more Taurine is used in the body. Consuming foods rich in Taurine or taking a supplement with the vitamin B complex can prove beneficial.
**Convene with your medical doctor before commencing with your L-Taurine supplementation, especially when you are administering any medications.
