Grab your heart health by the horns with this ‘bull protein’

Does it ever feel like your heart doc expects you to be WALKING ON EGGSHELLS?

It’s always “Don’t do this, don’t do that”…

As though you’re a FRAGILE porcelain doll that could SHATTER after getting knocked around.

Even if you’ve been TOUGH AS NAILS your whole life!

Friend, it’s time to STOP tiptoeing around your heart health…

And SHIFT your focus from DEFENSE… to OFFENSE.

There’s something you can do RIGHT NOW that could help STRENGTHEN your heart health… with a little BRUTE FORCE.

Here’s why this heart trick is widely known as a “wonder molecule”!

Heart of the matter

German scientists first isolated an amino acid from bull meat in 1827… and called it taurine, derived from the Latin word for bull, taurus.

But taurine is present in MANY different types of animals, including many of the protein-rich foods we eat, like… poultry (dark meat turkey and chicken)

shellfish (scallops, mussels, clams)

eggs, and dairy.

That’s not all…

Believe it or not, most of our bodies can manufacture our own supply of taurine, too!

That’s why it’s considered a “non-essential” amino acid… because we don’t necessarily HAVE to get it from an outside source.

But taurine is CRUCIAL to maintaining many healthy functions in our bodies.

As I’ve shared with you before right here in eAlert, this “meat molecule” helps promote restful sleep… healthy vision… and cognitive function.

In fact, the two main organs that produce taurine are the brain and the heart!

Turns out, this “heart nutrient” ALSO helps regulate heartbeat and blood pressure…

But there’s even MORE it could do for your heart health.

It could also help support healthy vessel function.

Many of its heart benefits are related to how taurine influences your body’s calcium metabolism… and keeps too much of this mineral from collecting in areas where it’s not supposed to be.

Of course, you need calcium in your bones and teeth…

But TOO MUCH calcium elsewhere could contribute to hardened, narrow arteries… and ELEVATED blood pressure!

In fact, taurine acts as nature’s own “calcium channel blocker” (like the class of BP meds created by Big Pharma)!

Chinese researchers found in a 2016 clinical trial that supplementing with taurine helped reduced systolic blood pressure (the “top number”) in prehypertensive patients by more than 7 points, on average…

And diastolic BP (the “bottom number”) by more than 4 points.

Taurine’s ability to maintain calcium homeostasis could help beat back issues with the heart muscle… like heart failure.

In clinical studies, supplementing with taurine has helped IMPROVE cardiac function… and LOWER blood pressure…

With ZERO side effects!

This gets better…

Because taurine has even shown to help protect against diabetic complications that affect the heart.

And research has shown how certain heart conditions could be INDUCED by taurine deprivation…

And how certain populations that consume less taurine in their diets are more likely to develop hypertension and heart disease.

The bad news is that our natural levels of taurine decrease with age.

And certain outside factors could DRAIN you of your taurine supply, like radiation therapy for cancer… chemo… and other drugs.

Look for taurine in supplement form from quality makers at your local health food store or online.

Sometimes labeled as L-taurine, you’ll find it in capsule or liquid form. In the Chinese study I mentioned earlier, participants consumed 1.6 g of taurine daily for 12 weeks.

Your body needs vitamin B6 in order to produce its natural supply of taurine… which is why you’ll sometimes find these two nutrients together in one supplement.
