Taurine

Taurine is a naturally occurring amino sulfonic acid found in high concentrations in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles. Unlike traditional amino acids, it’s not used to build protein but instead supports cell membrane stability, calcium signaling, and osmoregulation—all essential for high-performance health.

Taurine is abundant in animal-based foods such as meat, fish, and dairy, yet supplementation is often necessary to achieve optimal levels for peak function.

Its impact on cardiovascular health is well documented—supporting blood pressure regulation, heart rhythm stability, and protecting against oxidative damage. In the brain, taurine acts as a neuromodulator, helping to balance neurotransmitters for better focus, emotional stability, and reduced stress. Its role in muscle recovery and exercise performance also makes it a valuable asset in any performance-driven protocol.

Marco’s Grounds™ Taurine Sourcing

At Marco’s Grounds™, we source our taurine from a family-owned seaweed farm in Shandong Province, China—a region known for its pristine waters and nutrient-rich ecosystems.

Through a meticulous extraction process, we derive taurine from marine algae, resulting in a highly pure, sustainable, and bioavailable form. Each batch is rigorously tested for potency, purity, and safety—ensuring that every dose delivers consistent and effective support for mental and physical resilience.

Taurine Dosing Principles and Rationale

Research supports a daily dose of 500 to 2,000 mg of taurine for benefits related to heart health, mental clarity, and exercise recovery, with higher doses used safely in clinical settings [1,2].

At Marco’s Grounds™, we apply hormetic dosing principles to find the optimal range that delivers performance-enhancing results without oversaturating cellular pathways. Taurine is best taken with meals or before physical activity to support absorption and maximize benefits.
