Taurine Powder

Taurine Powder NZ Overview.

Taurine powder has gained in popularity in recent years due to its central role in many popular energy drinks. However, it has many more benefits to the serious sportsperson and athletes than a simple energy boost.

Taurine is an amino acid which is found naturally in meat, and is stored in our own bodies in muscle (including the heart muscle), the central nervous system, and in white blood cells. It is integral to the way our bodies function and use energy.

By regulating calcium, taurine helps ward off muscle cramps and soreness during events, training and in the post recovery period. It can also make existing muscle cramps less severe and less painful.

Taurine powder will also benefit the intensity and effectiveness of your training and nutrition, particularly if you train and diet for leaner body composition. Taurine is a cell volumiser, drawing water into muscle cells in a similar way to the actions of creatine. This does more than create a muscle fullness, it also increases the amount of nutrients in the muscles which will boost muscle development and speed recovery. It also encourages the amount of glucose which enters muscle cells.

Supplementing with taurine may also help you get more consistent sleep, which will boost recovery and put you in a better muscle recovery environment. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, stabilising pulse rate, and calms the electro activity of the body's nerves.

In our opinion, taurine is a sports supplement with many more benefits than the energy drinks people would have you think.

Taurine Powder Benefits.

Better sleep, increased energy, muscle pump, assist nutrient uptake.

Taurine has much more going for it than being a key ingredient in popular energy drinks. It is a cell volumiser, drawing water into muscles to create a pump and to enhance the rate at which nutrients are absorbed. It regulates calcium, which helps to minimise muscle cramps from training. And it can help promote better, deeper, more restful sleep. An important amino acid supplement for endurance performance, muscle gain and lean body composition.

Suggested Use.

As a dietary supplement, mix 1g with other amino acids, creatine, pre-workout drink or plain water. Best taken before training to help with focus and to draw water into muscle cells. Alternatively, consume 1g of taurine powder mixed with water before bed, preferably on an empty stomach, to assist with better sleep.
